Cristiano Ronaldo Felt ‘Provoked’ by Erik ten Hag As He Refused To Come On As Substitute During Manchester United’s Win Over Tottenham Hotspur
The Portugal star revealed his reason for refusing to come on as a substitute during United's win over Spurs. He also said that he regretted the decision and was dropped from the squad for Red Devils' next fixture against Chelsea.
Cristiano Ronaldo said that he felt provoked by Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag after he refused to be used as a substitute during his side's win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. Speaking to Piers Morgan as part of an explosive interview where he launched a scathing attack on Manchester United, Ronaldo said that he regretted his action but felt provoked by the Dutch manager. "I think he did it on purpose. I felt provoked not only because of that game but before. A coach to put me in three minutes in a game (is) not allowed for me. Sorry, I'm not that kind of player. I know what I can give to the teams," Ronaldo said.
