Erik ten Hag confirms that Cristiano Ronaldo refused to come on as sub against Tottenham

► Subscribe to Sky Sports News: http://bit.ly/SkySportsNewsSub Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag confirmed Cristiano Ronaldo refused to come on as a substitute against Tottenham. Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Spurs was comfortably the best all-round performance under the Dutchman but the post-match talk has been dominated by the 37-year-old's early exit. Ronaldo headed down the tunnel before the clock had struck 90 minutes and made a hasty exit from Old Trafford, leading Ten Hag to stand down the forward for Saturday's trip to Chelsea. Asked if he refused to come on a substitute against Spurs, Ten Hag said: "Yes." Ten Hag said: "What (happened in) the talk is between Cristiano and me. The (club) statement is also clear, I think." Asked if Ronaldo will be part of his team moving forwards, Ten Hag said: "Yes, that's also in the statement. He remains an important part of the squad." #SkySportsNews #SkySports #manchesterunited ► For the latest developments on this story: https://qrcode.skysports.com/skysports/topstories More from Sky Sports on YouTube: ► Sky Sports Retro: http://bit.ly/SkySportsRetroSub ► Sky Sports: http://bit.ly/SkySportsSub ► Sky Sports Football: http://bit.ly/SSFootballSub ► Sky Sports Boxing: http://bit.ly/SSBoxingSub ► Sky Sports F1: http://bit.ly/SubscribeSkyF1 ► Sky Sports Cricket: http://bit.ly/SubscribeSkyCricket ► Sky Sports Golf: https://bit.ly/SubscribeSkySportsGolf ► To enquire about licensing Sky Sports News content, you can find out more here: https://www.skysports.com/more-sports/news/31754/11434270/license-sky-sports-footage
