What must he have been thinking as his team struggled to create chances- don&#8217;t let the three United goals deceive you- the Red Devils were extremely poor throughout the game in the final third of the pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a bizarre post-match press conference, ten Hag revealed that he decided not to bring Ronaldo on out of\u00a0<strong>&#8220;respect&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0for his great career. In other words, the coach didn&#8217;t want to embarrass or humiliate one of the world&#8217;s greatest ever players. A quite frankly<strong>\u00a0bizarre excuse.\u00a0<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ten Hag has since shed some light on the player&#8217;s situation. In the pre-match Europa League press conference, Ten Hag revealed that Ronaldo is\u00a0<strong>&#8220;not happy that he didn&#8217;t play on Sunday. Of course, he wants to play. And he&#8217;s pissed off when he&#8217;s doesn&#8217;t play. Yeah.

It&#8217;s proving to be a bizarre decision given&nbsp;<strong>Ronaldo has hardly played this season- most of his appearances have been from the bench.&nbsp;<\/strong>The Portuguese legend is right down the pecking order,&nbsp;<strong>behind Marcus Rashford and even Anthony Martial.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\u00a0<strong>Ronaldo soap opera continues<\/strong>\u00a0and his situation is becoming more and more\u00a0<strong>unsustainable<\/strong>.
