Erik ten Hag supported for benching Cristiano, for this reason

The impact of the coach is immediate, despite starting the season with some doubts, he has gained the trust of groups of fans on social media, something that is not common in a team that is always in a constant demand to achieve high goals.

The start is not the most encouraging, even the team started losing the first two Premier League matches, one of those by a scandalous defeat by Brentford, who in a matter of 35 minutes scored the four definitive goals.

The franchise player who will be the face of the new Red Devils project

After losing both matches, he took the decision to remove Cristiano Ronaldo from the first team starting eleven, despite being the scorer of the last season for the Red Devils, a high-risk decision, and time has proven him right, as he has won four games that so far have kept him as a candidate for the local championship.

In addition to sidelining the Portuguese, he decided to send to the bench the most expensive defensive signing in the history of the Old Trafford club, Harry Maguire. Both moves were effective, and it was even rumored that the team's top management and directors are impressed with the manager's way of leading the team.

Erik was forceful and the experiment is working

There is still a lot of season left and the two previously mentioned players can earn a place in the coach's starting eleven, even if they have to play a lot of matches in a short period of time and with a full schedule.
