Erik ten Hag lashes out at Cristiano, demands this for not replacing him in matches

Manchester United is a team that has a strict way of working, and ever since the Dutch coach arrived that has been the situation with the Old Trafford club. Bueno Fernandes acknowledged that this way of coaching was not at the club before, but since Erik ten Hag has been in charge of the team there has been a change in the convictions of each of the players.

Cristiano had a lot of problems with the club since he tried to leave the club in the summer, he refused to report to the team because he was looking for a move, but it was a failed situation because Cristiano's salary is very high, and they would have to spend any club interested in the player who will be a free agent next summer. The Portuguese star was looking to move to a club that will play in this season's Champions League.

Since then he has had a complicated situation with the new coach of the Red Devils who gave him a secondary role in the team's squad, where he has had to earn his place through hard work, but on many occasions the player has been exhibited by his coach, a particular case was the last Premier League match at home against Newcastle.

The Portuguese player was Man Utd's only substitution of the match, and many fans were upset by the situation, as the team was going into the game on the wrong foot. Instead of playing Marcus Rashford for a defender, he preferred to substitute Cristiano Ronaldo when they were looking for the three points, and prior to the game against Tottenham he was questioned about this situation.
