Erik ten Hag has upbraided Cristiano Ronaldo and other Manchester United players who left Old Trafford while Sunday’s friendly with Rayo Vallecano was ongoing and stated it was unfair to single out the Portuguese.
Ronaldo, the only one in the matchday squad known to have departed early, was photographed outside the stadium with Diogo Dalot, who was not involved. This week the manager stated it was “unacceptable” to have exited before the final whistle. Ten Hag was asked how he had dealt with this. “You mention it, you correct them, then move on,” he said.
