Manchester United squad impressed by Erik ten Hag handling of Cristiano Ronaldo situation
Cristiano Ronaldo is set to return to Carrington for talks with Erik ten Hag today, but the Dutchman’s handling of the club’s star player over the last few days has been well received in the Manchester United dressing room.
It was a resolute stance from Ten Hag and sources close to the dressing room have said players were impressed by the delicate but authoritative way he handled the situation, leaving the door open for Ronaldo to return and insisting he remained a key part of the squad. United’s players were euphoric in the home dressing room at Old Trafford on Wednesday, believing it was the best performance they’d put together in a long time. They secured a point they deserved at Stamford Bridge with Casemiro’s injury-time equaliser and on the pitch it has been a good week for Ten Hag.
