Erik ten Hag's decision to ditch Cristiano Ronaldo was the beginning of his downfall at Manchester United, according to Wesley Sneijder.
The United manager clashed with the Portuguese star after dropping him to the bench during the early weeks of his Old Trafford tenure.
Things reached a head when Ronaldo told Piers Morgan he felt 'betrayed' by Ten Hag and wanted to leave the club, making several scathing comments about the set-up.
Ronaldo's contract was terminated by mutual agreement with immediate effect and he went on to sign for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
While United looked stronger in Ronaldo's absence last season, they have struggled this term and look likely to miss out on Champions League qualification.
