Cristiano Ronaldo's biggest managerial fall outs after Erik ten Hag spat at Man United friendly

As Erik ten Hag faces his first Premier League game in charge of Manchester United, all the talk in the build-up continues to concern one man: Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese superstar wants to leave United this summer and made that clear at the weekend, as he left Old Trafford 10 minutes before full-time in Sunday's friendly against Rayo Vallecano. Ronaldo had started the game, which finished 1-1, before being substituted at half-time.

Despite suggestions that United didn't have a problem over the forward's early exit, Ten Hag turned on him for the first time this summer in an interview with Dutch television.
