Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister SLAMS Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag in brutal Instagram post after being hauled off vs Newcastle
CRISTIANO RONALDO’S sister Elma has slammed Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag in a brutal Instagram post after the 37-year-old was hauled off against Newcastle.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is having a tough season, scoring just twice in 12 games.
He has also started more games from the substitutes bench, watching on as Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial got the nod over him.
Ronaldo had the chance to grab his 701st club goal against Newcastle on Sunday, but he was largely anonymous and was hauled off with 20 minutes to go.
The Portugal star was far from pleased to see his number go up as United went on to play out a 0-0 draw.
And his sister Elma has hit out at Ten Hag, sharing a news article indicating a possible January exit from Old Trafford.
