Erik ten Hag has responded to the comments made by Cristiano Ronaldo about Man Utd not being able to win the Premier League, saying "he is far away from Manchester".
Ronaldo's second stint at United ended badly after a falling-out with Ten Hag, with Ronaldo subsequently terminating his contract and saying he felt "betrayed" by the United boss.
Ronaldo said earlier this week: "They need to rebuild everything, in my opinion. The coach, they say they cannot compete to win the league and Champions League. Manchester United coach, you cannot say that you're not going to fight to win the league or Champions League."

Ten Hag's side face Southampton in the early kick-off on Saturday having lost two of their opening three Premier League matches, meaning they've won just five of their last 16 Premier League games across this season and last.
Ten Hag responded to Ronaldo's comments, saying: "He said that United can't win the Premier League. He is far away from Manchester, everyone can have an opinion - it's okay."
