Erik Ten Hag is a man of his word.
Having watched on as his Manchester United side beat Spurs two-nil at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening, Ten Hag was obviously feeling extremely positive.
However, despite the Red Devils’ incredible performance, which was arguably their best of the season so far, the game’s biggest talking point has been Cristiano Ronaldo’s decision to storm off down the tunnel before the referee had blown for full-time.
Questioned by Amazon Prime’s pundits at full-time, Ten Hag admitted that he would get around to dealing with the disruptive 37-year-old, and judging by reports coming out on Thursday evening, it seems that is exactly what the Dutchman has done.

Speaking after the Spurs match, the former Ajax boss, when quizzed on Ronaldo’s behaviour, as quoted by Stretty News, said: “I have seen him but I didn’t speak to him.
“I will deal with it tomorrow. Not today.
“We’re celebrating this victory and now we have to recover from this for Saturday [vs Chelsea].”
And now, according to The Athletic’s Laurie Whitwell, the 52-year-old has not only excluded Ronaldo from his matchday squad to face Chelsea on the weekend, but he has also demoted the Portuguese superstar to United’s reserves.

How do you see Ronaldo’s Man United career ending? – Let us know in the comments.
Is better United should allowed him to leave the club by january next year.
The sooner he is gone the better
This guy has given his all yet hated from day one. It now seems any irrelevant person uses his name to become relevant and basks in the glory of trying to tarnish him. The coach said he was not the only one who left. All same if they dont want him after all the sacrifices or feel like disrespecting him, just let him go, remember his kids are watching such cruelty and a man only has so much he can take. Soccer team means always back your mate till the end no matter what I dont see that from his supposed mates. Shame
Thank you for your sensible reply. The world is full of Ronaldo haters who would stop at nothing to destroy his name. Satanic idiots that spend a better part of their lifetime spewing hate for a very successful and overachieving champion of the game of football
Don’t mistake Ronaldo for Club legends like Rooney or Giggs. What has Ronaldo giving to be classified as ‘his all’? Just mention them.
Rooney and Giggs over CR7? Seriously bro? What has Rooney and Giggs won for themselves? Not even close to winning Ballon d Or at their prime. CR7 won almost evrything for the last 15 yrs or so. what has man united players from 15 years to date won? NOTHING…Yes, CR7 may not be a United Legend to your stupid standards of naming club legends, but CR7 has everything than the players of United 15yrs-20yrs to date combined..Not even a close one
Living under a rock much?! Asking for a friend!
Bro..no one hated Ronaldo, I’m a messi fan but I also like Ronaldo, but his attitude in recent times is making him a heel
Ronaldo thinks he is bigger than MU.He is so dull to realize he is what he is today because of MU.Gone are the days when players would dictate their terms to management.TH is setting the record straight,and that is,he is boss.On the playing field,Ronaldo has been average at best and should accept that his legs are no longer as flexible.It is fortunate for the club that there is a real manager/coach who knows what he is doing.Previous managers,notably Ole,would have accepted this and go on to sugarcoat the whole scenario.This is why MU has fallen so much behind other clubs in footballing terms. I say to TH,”please keep it up,we want standards as set by the great Sir Alex”.
Absolutely right in every way. Its good to now have a BOSS in every way, setting good standards as Sir Alex did in the old days.
You don’t know what you are saying youg man
I strongly agree with it. All players must be disciplined, no player should be bigger than the club because players come and go but clubs remain.
Erik Tan Hag doesn’t have any respect for CR7 and that is really bad he helped the team when team was in crisis
Guys please let’s face the fact that our coach is not treating him well at all
And Also He Have To Give Him Some Respect,With The Way He Treats Him
Ronaldo wants to sort his temper tantrums, when he has been given a start he’s failed to deliver this season, the manager is right to discipline him .
Rooney and Giggs over CR7? Seriously bro? What has Rooney and Giggs won for themselves? Not even close to winning Ballon d Or at their prime. CR7 won almost evrything for the last 15 yrs or so. what has man united players from 15 years to date won?

‘Nough said!👏👏👏
Ronaldo is without doubt one of the best ever players. Ten Hag might become a decent manager, we are yet to find out. Ten Hag appears to be unable to handle Ronaldo in a reasonable and respectful manner. That is managerial failure. Ronaldo has never had problems with any of his previous managers. Maybe Ten Hag’s not all he’s cracked up to be?
As for me am a cr7 fan for life
The man utd manager just want to destroy cr7 career
He is just one of the worst manager i have seen so far
Formation he can’t well
What is 4231. use this formation today use another tomorrow
Ronaldo is might to play most of his game EPL not eroupa
Just want to leave by January
