Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag's approach to dealing with stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford has been compared to how Sir Alex Ferguson chose to keep order in his squad.
Ten Hag flexed his authority back in November following Ronaldo's controversial interview with Piers Morgan. During the TalkTV conversation, the 38-year-old slammed his manager, the Glazers, the club and former teammates Gary Neville and Wayne Rooney for their attitude towards him.
Shortly after the interview was aired, Ronaldo and United parted ways in what was a huge statement of intent from Ten Hag. Just over a month later, the Dutchman made the bold decision to drop Rashford to the bench against Wolverhampton Wanderers, despite his blistering form, after he overslept and partially missed a meeting.
