Erik ten Haag made no secret of his displeasure with the Manchester United players who left before the end of the friendly against Rayo Vallecano. Among the players who left was Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese superstar has returned to Manchester United after missing a team tour of Thailand and Australia. The 37-year-old has expressed a desire to leave the club.
Photos of Ronaldo leaving the field before the end of a friendly match (1:1) with the Spanish national team appeared on social networks. According to the BBC, there were other players who did the same.
“We are a team and that means you stay until the end,” said Dutch midfielder Ten Haag. “This is unacceptable for all participants,” the visibly annoyed Dutch coach noted.
Manchester United will play in the Europa League this season. The Red Devils will face Brighton in the first leg of the Premier League.
