United to hold talks about Ronaldo

According to the Telegraph, Man United are not happy with Ronaldo's astonishing attack on Ten Hag and claiming that the club was trying to force him out.

Ten Hag, chief executive Richard Arnold and football director John Murtough and co-chairman and owner Joel Glazer are expected to discuss the best course of action and punishment.

The team was flying back to Manchester from London, England but declined to comment on the interview as it would shatter the team's morale following a huge win away from home.

Ronaldo's feud with Ten Hag

Ronaldo has started just four Premier League games this season, and fans were furious at the Portugal star's attack on the manager, considering he refused to come on as a substitute last month, according to ESPN.

Many expect United to part ways with Ronaldo as they see no way he can work under the Dutchman again.

Ronaldo slams United for lack of sympathy

Sports Brief earlier reported on Ronaldo accusing Manchester United of not showing sympathy during his daughter's battle with illness.

Ronaldo was forced to skip preseason training after his young baby girl fell sick.

At that time, it was rumoured that it was a ploy by the striker to force the club into selling him that summer.
