Arriving at Carrington, Cristiano Ronaldo and Erik ten Hag engage in showdown talks after the forward’s expulsion from the first team.
Since refusing to come on as a substitute in the match against Tottenham last week, Ronaldo has been undergoing solitary training sessions after his banishment from the first-team squad.
The former Real Madrid striker’s actions saw him declining to enter the game with just five minutes remaining, and promptly making his way down the tunnel at Old Trafford even before the full-time whistle was blown for their 2-0 victory over Antonio Conte’s squad on Wednesday.
Following a two-day break subsequent to their 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Saturday, Ten Hag and Ronaldo are scheduled to engage in discussions today.
If Ronaldo acknowledges his mistake during these discussions, he might make a return to training with his teammates and potentially be considered for the upcoming Europa League match at home against Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday.
