Cristiano Ronaldo felt “provoked” by Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag into walking off the bench against Tottenham and leaving Old Trafford before the full-time whistle as his relationship with the club deteriorated.

In his headline-grabbing interview with TalkTV which has been released over the last few days, the Portugal forward has criticised United, hit out at former team-mates and said Red Devils owners the Glazer family do not care about the club.
