Manchester United's Anthony Elanga reacts to Cristiano Ronaldo's criticism of young players

Manchester United forward Anthony Elanga has admitted that his opinion of Cristiano Ronaldo has not changed since his interview with Piers Morgan.

Ronaldo's interview with Morgan was announced on Sunday night, just hours after Alejandro Garnacho's 93rd-minute winning goal against Fulham. It was not the first time that the 37-year-old had taken the spotlight away from his teammates this season, as he walked down the tunnel at Old Trafford before full-time during his side's 2-0 win over Tottenham in October.

He ignored Erik ten Hag's instructions that day, and now the Dutchman has faced scathing criticism from the former Real Madrid man. Alongside a handful of accusations, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner also claimed that the young players of today do not have the same mentality or hunger as he did.
