Erik ten Hag has asked the four 'leaders' to help him unite a fractured dressing room, with Ronaldo not making the cut... 😬
And that leadership group includes captain Harry Maguire, Bruno Fernandes, David de Gea and perhaps the most surprising name on the list is that of third-choice goalkeeper Tom Heaton.The report states that Fernandes and Heaton are important figures within the dressing room, having both stepped up to play an important role in the dressing room during last season's turbulent months under Ralf Rangnick.
As for Ronaldo, Ten Hag said the superstar forward is frustrated when he's not playing, but insists he's 'happy' at the club."I don't see that he is unhappy," said the Dutchman ahead of Thursday's Europa League clash against Omonia Nicosia."It has nothing to do with the future, what's happening for January or next year," he added.
"He's not happy that he didn't play Sunday, don't get me wrong, but the question was about his mood in training, where he's happy. Of course, he wants to play and he's p**sed off when he's not playing." Ronaldo failed to get on the pitch in his side's 6-3 defeat to Manchester City but could return to the starting XI on Thursday.
