'It would have been a hairdryer!': Man United legend Jaap Stam says Sir Alex Ferguson would not have stood for Cristiano Ronaldo's behavior against Tottenham, after the striker was banished to train on his own for leaving Old Trafford before full time

Jaap Stam has praised Erik ten Hag's stern treatment of Cristiano Ronaldo, and felt that his old manager Sir Alex Ferguson would have dished out his famous 'hairdryer' treatment after the 37-year-old's recent behavior.

Ronaldo refused to come off the bench against Tottenham on Wednesday, and left Old Trafford before full time in Manchester United's 2-0 win.

Ten Hag reacted by banishing the striker to train with the U21s, the latest in a series of apparent fallings out between the manager and his star striker.
