Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has explained why he didn’t play forward Cristiano Ronaldo in his side’s Premier League 6-3 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.
Ten Hag benched Ronaldo during Man United’s tie against Man City at Etihad Stadium.
The former Ajax coach, however, left the Portugal captain on the bench for the game as Anthony Martial replaced Marcus Rashford with 31 minutes remaining.
Erling Haaland and Phil Foden both scored hat-tricks to give Pep Guardiola’s side the victory over the Red Devils.
