Cristiano Ronaldo owes Anthony Elanga a 'BIG APOLOGY' for his stroppy antics during Manchester United's win at Brentford, says Paul Merson... who accuses him of stealing the youngster's thunder by reacting furiously to being substituted by Ralf Rangnick

Cristiano Ronaldo should apologise to Anthony Elanga after throwing his toys out of the pram during Manchester United's win away at Brentford, says Paul Merson.

United picked up their first victory in three matches on Wednesday night, running out 3-1 winners against Brentford thanks to goals from Elanga, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford.

Yet their triumph did not go without drama, as in the 71st minute Ronaldo reacted negatively to being replaced by Ralf Rangnick.
