Ten Hag, who is not in Manchester but delayed the start of a family holiday to deal with the issue, believes thatRonaldo has gone too far in his criticism of the club.

According to sources, United found out about the interview in the hours after the game, and are taking legal advice about how to handle the situation.

With a contract worth more than half a million dollars a week until the end of the season, there is a feeling at Old United that it will be almost impossible to reintegrate the 37 year old into the squad after the World Cup.

According to sources, a number of senior players are angry at the timing of the interview, which was made public just hours after Alejandro Garnacho had scored the winning goal.

This season, Ten Hag has disciplinedRonaldo two times.

He was reprimanded in July and October for leaving early and refusing to come on as a substitute against Spurs. The man was ordered to train alone and was suspended for the game.

According to sources, Ten Hag is still of the opinion that a fit and motivatedRonaldo can help his team during the second half of the season when United hope to be challenging.

He is willing to leave even if a replacement can't be found in the January transfer window because he doesn't want unity within the squad to be sacrificed.
