Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has lauded Reds manager Erik ten Hag for stamping his authority on the team following his arrival at Old Trafford in the summer.
Rooney - the club's all-time record goalscorer - praised the Dutchman for how he has dealt with Cristiano Ronaldo this term, particularly after the Portuguese star refused to come on as a substitute in United's 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur last month. The 37-year-old was dropped from the squad for one match as a result, and was made to train alone for a period of time.
Ten Hag has made a solid start to his reign as Reds manager, with United currently fifth in the Premier League table and through to the knockout stages of the Europa League, albeit in a play-off tie against Barcelona.
