ANDREA PIRLO NEWS: LATEST ON FORMER JUVENTUS MANAGER
From shouting ‘f*** you!’ to Mourinho to falling out with Benitez over a USB stick… Ronaldo’s biggest managerial bust ups after United boss Ten Hag slammed the star’s ‘unacceptable behaviour’
As Erik ten Hag faces his first Premier League game in charge of Manchester United, all the talk in the build-up continues to concern one man: Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese superstar wants to leave United this summer and made that clear at the weekend, as he left Old Trafford 10 minutes before full-time in Sunday’s friendly against Rayo Vallecano. Ronaldo had started the game, which finished 1-1, before being substituted at half-time. Despite suggestions that United didn’t have a problem over the forward’s early exit, Ten Hag turned on him for the first time this summer in an interview with Dutch television. The United boss however then mellowed his tone, insisting in his pre-match press conference it was unfair for Ronaldo to shoulder all the blame because a number of United players – including his Portugal team-mate Diogo Dalot – also darted out of Old Trafford early on Sunday. As one of modern football’s biggest divas however, Ronaldo has famously not always been the easiest player to manage despite his world class talent.
