Erik ten Hag has opted against taking a leaf out of Sir Alex Ferguson's book to try and get the best out of Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United this season.
Under the glorious 26-year reign of the Scotsman, plenty of big decisions were made that may put some players noses out of joint to try and inspire some form out of others. Paul Scholes recently highlighted his way of dealing with Wayne Rooney, who had his work-rate called into question at times during his illustrious spell at Old Trafford.
It is a similar situation for Ronaldo at the moment, who has found game-time hard to come by under Ten Hag due to the Dutchman wanting a certain level of willingness to press and defend from the front from his attacking options.
