Manchester United have made their allegiance clear to Cristiano Ronaldo by hailing the influence of Erik ten Hag on the club website.
The Dutchman, hired by the club in the summer, was among several individuals who were targeted in an interview given by the player to Piers Morgan. Ten Hag has used Ronaldo sporadically this term, handing him just four league starts, which has seen the forward claim he has no respect for his manager.
Ten Hag has had to deal with several issues surrounding Ronaldo, but his latest misdemeanour is the most high profile one yet. It has seen club officials take legal advice and it is understood lawyers have told them they have grounds to terminate Ronaldo's deal for breach of contract. He is now facing the sack for bringing the club into disrepute.
