Some Manchester United legends have changed their tune on player power after Cristiano Ronaldo incident

It's also a profession in which he's really excelled and that has extended his popularity with the neutral punter. I will still try to defend him, I still think he's a human being and he's got flaws. "He feels frustrated that he's not been getting opportunities and he's had enough and he's walked down the tunnel. Ronaldo's actions last week at Old Trafford were indefensible and yet here he was, trying to defend the player. It was disrespectful to his teammates, Ten Hag and United as a club.

Erik ten Hag is about to show how much he trusts Manchester United's fringe players

For players competing in all available competitions, there is the possibility of playing upwards of 70 matches this term. One of those - and an extremely important one - is the opportunity it provides for younger players to get on the pitch.

Europa League situation might give Manchester United a January transfer window wish to answer

Manchester United need just a point from tonight's penultimate Europa League Group E clash with Sheriff Tiraspol at Old Trafford to secure their place in the knockout stages. United want to win the group at all costs, all in a bid to avoid entering an unwanted play-off round in February against a club who finishes third in their respective Champions League group. READ MORE: Sporting boss breaks silence on Cristiano Ronaldo transfer speculationWith that said, although it has been a pleasing and continuous trend throughout their Europa League campaign already, Ten Hag will stick with a much-fancied, star-studded team on Thursday evening. He was, albeit at youth level, one of the bright sparks in a forgettable campaign for United last season. However, Ten Hag deserves credit for approaching the Europa League with such great respect, consistently fielding a full-strength team when others would have chosen to mix things up.

A week on from his display of fist-pumping pride in his Manchester City players, Pep Guardiola left the Etihad bearing a sense of immense frustration that he will hope doesn't linger for the next six weeks. Guardiola will head to Barcelona next week but might struggle to relax with family with this result whirring in his mind. For the rest, the World Cup awaits, and maybe that was the problem.
