MUN 3-1 ARS: Erik Ten Hag Is Gradually Turning Ronaldo Into A Bench Warmer & Second Half Player

Manchester United welcomed Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal at the Old Trafford Stadium earlier today for their sixth league game of the season. United started the game brightly as they opened the scoring through their newly signed star player Anthony.

Bukayo Saka leveled the score for Arsenal in the second half but Erik Ten Hag’s side was clinical as Marcus Rashford registered two goals to hand the Gunners their first defeat of the campaign.

For the fourth consecutive English Premier League game, Portuguese international Cristiano Ronaldo has failed to start for Erik Ten Hag’s Manchester United. The former Real Madrid and Juventus star player has been sidelined on the bench and made to become a substitute.

Since losing their opening two consecutive league games against Brighton Hove Albion and Brentford, Erik Ten Hag has not included Cristiano Ronaldo in the team’s starting XI. United is currently cruising in the league, winning four consecutive games against Liverpool, Southampton, Leicester City, and Arsenal.

Without a doubt, the Netherland Gaffer is gradually turning Cristiano Ronaldo into a bench warmer and a second-half player. The five times world best player of the year is yet to score an English Premier League goal despite being involved in United’s six league games so far.

Do you think Erik Ten Hag’s decision to use the Portuguese international as a substitute is a good one?
