Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has branded Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag a 'clown' for his treatment of striker Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo has started just six matches in all competitions for the Reds this term, with the 37-year-old registering two goals. The Portuguese international has been dropped from the United squad for the match against Chelsea on Saturday evening after he left Old Trafford early during the midweek victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
The former Real Madrid man walked down the tunnel before the full-time whistle against Spurs on Wednesday night, which led to Ten Hag axing the player from his side for this weekend's clash with the Blues, while also forcing the forward to train alone at Carrington.
