ERIK NEEDS TO RUN RON

-

ERIK TEN HAG has already failed his first test at Manchester United.

The Dutchman should have taken a stronger line on Cristiano Ronaldo when the Premier League season got underway.

If the ageing superstar wasn’t fit – he hadn’t completed a proper pre-season – then he shouldn’t have been on the bench for the opening day against

Portugal legend was convinced he was ready to play – Ten Hag (above) should have slapped him into place.

As it was, the striker was among the substitute­s. It begs the question: “Who’s running the show, the manager or Ronaldo?”

This really wasn’t a good look – and it could lead to longer-term issues – because you can bet your bottom dollar the dressing room will have noticed it, too.

THE BBC have scrapped the classified results at 5pm – in a move that smacks of change for change’s sake.

How often do you scroll down your smart phone when driving home?

TALKSPORT have vowed to carry on with theirs. Good for them. I hope it Caipstreio­flnec:twedoridns­thgeoirinl­ishterners’ figures.
