MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag said he would “deal with” Cristiano Ronaldo after the Portugal forward headed to the changing room before the final whistle in the team’s 2-0 win over Tottenham. Ronaldo was an unused substitute as United produced arguably its most complete performance of the season. Ten Hag sought to avoid controversy when questioned about the incident after the match which places fresh question marks over the future of the Portugal international.
