Ten Hag is said to be furious with Ronaldo and has delayed his family holiday to hold urgent meetings with the club's bosses, in which he said the star should never play for them again
The Dutchman feels Ronaldo has gone too far in his criticism of the club and against himself, and held a meeting with co-chairman Joel Glazer, chief executive Richard Arnold and football director John Murtough to express his views on Monday.
It's also said that a number of players are 'furious' at the timing of the striker's outburst.
It came just hours after Manchester United's dramatic victory over Fulham, in which teenager Alejandro Garnacho stole the headlines with his stoppage-time winner.
Though Ten Hag still feels a motivated Ronaldo could contribute in a positive manner during the second-half of the season, he is 'not willing' to sacrifice unity within the squad by keeping the Portuguese international.
It means United could be a man short in the second-half of the season, as Ten Hag would be willing to let Ronaldo leave Old Trafford - even if they can't find a replacement during the January transfer window.
