'Terminate his contract' - Man United fans back Erik ten Hag after Cristiano Ronaldo comments

Manchester United supporters have rallied behind manager Erik ten Hag after Cristiano Ronaldo criticised the current manager, claiming he has "no respect" for the Dutchman.

In what should have been a day of celebration for United, Ronaldo's comments have stolen the headlines. Alejandro Garnacho's 93rd-minute winner against Fulham saw the 18-year-old have his time in the spotlight cut short, as the former Real Madrid man pulled the rug from under the teenager's feet.

This of course is not the first time that the five-time Ballon d'or winner has stolen the headlines after a successful day for his side. Following the 2-0 victory over Tottenham in October, Ronaldo stormed down the tunnel after refusing to come on as a substitute.

Ten Hag made the decision to drop the 37-year-old for the following game against Chelsea, before bringing him back into the fold, with successive league starts against West Ham and Aston Villa.

In a Piers Morgan Uncensored interview that is set to air later this week, Ronaldo has made wild accusations that threaten to tarnish his legacy at the Old Trafford club. But following the release of a clip from the interview late on Sunday night, United supporters have rallied around their team, as they took to social media to make it clear that the club is always bigger than the player - no matter who that person might be.

Here's what fans had to say on Twitter.

Cristiano Ronaldo's interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored will appear on TalkTV in a two-part special at 8pm on Wednesday and Thursday.
