Paul Pogba's fierce response to paper talk last term that Cristiano Ronaldo was a problem in the Manchester United dressing room could imply Erik ten Hag is preparing to reintegrate the forward.
Ronaldo has failed to hold down a consistent starting spot ever since the Dutchman took the reins, which just so happened at the same time the 37-year-old striker was desperately angling for an Old Trafford exit. It is almost barely believable that the league season is six games old for United and Ronaldo is still yet to score a goal.
It has been a turbulent few months for the Portugal skipper, but it wasn't always smooth sailing before that. The back end of last season was littered with reports that Ronaldo was becoming an issue for then-interim boss Ralf Rangnick, much like speculation suggested he was for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
