• Cristiano Ronaldo leads the list of players who have fallen out with Erik ten Hag
• The Manchester United manager is currently at loggerheads with Jadon Sancho
• Ten Hag joined Manchester United in 2022 after a successful spell with Ajax

Erik ten Hag is gradually building a reputation for falling out with top players after he arrived at Manchester United in 2022 following the departure of Ralf Rangnick.

The Dutch manager has had his failings with managing players' egos, as one of those led to the exit of Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United in his second stint with the Premier League club.

Ten Hag is currently embroiled in another discipline saga with England international Jadon Sancho, who now looks certain to leave the Old Trafford club as early as January despite still having a long-term contract.

According to Sky Sports, ten Hag has no intention of backing down in his stand-off with Sancho, who has not featured for the Red Devils since August after declaring on social media that he has "been a scapegoat for a long time".

Ten Hag sets unwanted Man United record

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Manchester United hit a new low with a defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday, as Erik ten Hag set an unwanted record after seven games.

Coming up against opponents whom they easily brushed aside a few days earlier, expectations were high for United to come out with all three points at Old Trafford.

Palace rested some key players for the Carabao Cup tie on Tuesday, but days later, Roy Hodgson started a fairly strong squad, and it paid off.
