People need to realise he is not a robot – Ex-Manchester United star accuses Erik ten Hag of disrespecting Cristiano Ronaldo

Should Erik ten Hag use Ronaldo in more games? Former striker Louis Saha has accused Erik ten Hag of disrespecting . The Manchester United no. 7 has been deprived of game time under the new boss. The latest incident took place when the veteran goalscorer was taken off in the second half, with United chasing a winner against at Old Trafford on Sunday, October 16. Always good to be with you boss! Always good to be with you boss! A disgruntled Ronaldo made his way off the pitch as Marcus Rashford took his place instead. Saha was not in agreement with United head coach Ten Hag's decision and : "Ronaldo has been disrespected. I have not fully agreed with the management of Ten Hag. I can understand why Ronaldo was upset after the Newcastle game because he trusts himself to score, lately, he has not been as lucky and efficient, it happens, and people need to realise he is not a robot." Adding that keeping Ronaldo would have been a smarter option as the Portuguese forward is a genuine goal-threat, the former French striker said: "When people are tired, Ronaldo is a killer, there is no one better than him when you are under pressure to score important goals, he did it last year and there is no reason for him not to continue that this season. I have not seen any indication physically that shows he's slowing down."
