REVEALED: Cristiano Ronaldo 'called for captain Harry Maguire to be DEMOTED and said he was "part of the problem"' at Man United - but was slapped down for being 'inappropriate' by Ralf Rangnick

Ronaldo's return to Old Trafford has not gone to plan and tensions frayed last season as the club limped to a sixth-place finish.

And details have emerged surrounding the Portuguese striker's demands, from team selection to formation tweaks.
