Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says there had to be consequences for Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Old Trafford during the Spurs game.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of tomorrow’s Premier League clash with Chelsea, the boss said “I am the manager. I am responsible for the culture, I have to set the standards and values. After Rayo Vallecano, I said it (leaving early) was unacceptable. The second time there has to be consequences.

“Football is a team sport. You have to set certain standard.”
