Cristiano Ronaldo was an unused substitute as Man United lost 6-3 to Man City in the derby on Sunday.
Ten Hag has got a lot of things right since his summer arrival at Old Trafford, but his decision to leave Ronaldo on the bench was certainly a statement. [Martial](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/anthony-martial), to his credit, made a positive impact on his return from injury. With reports suggesting that the 37-year-old is set for a move away in January, his last few months at Old Trafford appear to be heading in one direction, and one direction only. On the other hand, Ronaldo, who was the club's top goalscorer last term, barely featured in pre-season, and his season has certainly not taken off. His relationship with the club has certainly soured over the past couple of months, but he and many others would still have expected him to feature against City. And still, with the United boss making the decision to leave the Portuguese on the bench, it felt like a significant moment. With Martial having only made one competitive appearance this season prior to the derby, the decision to bring him on over It could be presumed that the ex-Ajax boss, who has utilised Ronaldo as an impact substitute this term, would have at least introduced him against City, especially given the scoreline. Pep Guardiola's men were scintillating throughout and the Reds struggled to lay a glove on them. He was, understandably given the circumstances, furious that Erik ten Hag had made all of his permitted substitutes and still opted to leave him on the bench. The 188th Manchester derby was, in all honesty, bonkers. Ronaldo has started just three matches all season, so it was no surprise that he wasn't named in the starting line-up against City, but with the Reds desperate for a goal, his services still weren't required.
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag admitted he left Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench during the 6-3 mauling at Manchester City “out of respect".

As Erik ten Hag discovered against Brighton, any Man United defeat is compounded if Cristiano Ronaldo has not started.
Ten Hag is an authoritative enough figure to handle the dressing room egomaniacs and mute the outside noise but he is choosing between two wannabe No.9s who have struggled to shoulder the burden of the role and live up to the number. The last time Ronaldo was not made use of was when he was at Juventus in May 2021. Martial's introduction at the interval against Liverpool was particularly pivotal, seizing on a loose ball, luring in Virgil van Dijk and springing Rashford through for the matchwinner. They have enjoyed their best seasons for United when indulged by the same manager but those were short-term gains and did not yield silverware. United staff are despairing at the Football Association's belated and needless charge of Ronaldo for smashing an Everton supporter's phone. Where Martial, Rashford and Elanga are at a disadvantage over Ronaldo is goalscoring. The galling reality for Ronaldo is Ten Hag favours the younger and more flexible forwards in his squad. He spearheaded the United attack in the first-team's five pre-season friendlies, scoring three goals. Ronaldo may get recalled this week and be subjected to another Thursday night start in Cyrpus. For Ronaldo was not subjected to the humiliation of United's latest thrashing, the eighth time they have conceded at least four goals in their last 38 Premier League fixtures. Whatever Ten Hag's reply, it would have unsatisfied plenty of United fans and every ardent Ronaldo follower. "I wouldn't bring him in because out of respect for Cristiano, for his big career," Ten Hag said.
