Inside Ten Hag’s humiliation of Cristiano Ronaldo with dressing room ban so strict youth player had to get his trainers
CRISTIANO RONALDO reportedly had to send a youth player to retrieve his trainers after being banned by Erik ten Hag from Manchester United’s dressing room.
The Red Devils parted ways with their Dutch manager on Monday after a disastrous start to the new season.
Cristiano Ronaldo sent a youngster to get his boots after being banned from Man Utd’s dressing room by Erik ten Hag[/caption]Ten Hag won just four of his 14 games following last term’s FA Cup win.
And Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim now looks set to take charge at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag’s time at the club saw him clash with several players including Jadon Sancho, who was offloaded to Chelsea over the summer.
But his biggest battle came against Ronaldo in 2022.
The pair failed to see eye-to-eye before things came to a head in a major bust-up.
Ten Hag banished Ronnie from first-team proceedings.
And ESPN now claims that even the dressing room was off-limits for the iconic striker.
Indeed, he was once barred by staff from entering the area to retrieve a pair of trainers.

And Ronaldo reportedly asked a youth player to go inside and get the offending shoes on his behalf.
This exile apparently did not go down well with United players, who felt Ten Hag went “too far” with his punishment.
Ronaldo left the club soon after when his contract was terminated.
And he spilled the beans on Ten Hag’s management style in an exclusive interview with The Sun columnist Piers Morgan.
Last month, Ronaldo once again hit out at the Dutchman over his time in the United hotseat.
Ronnie told Rio Ferdinand: “As I told you, Manchester, they need to rebuild everything, in my opinion.
“The coach, they say they cannot compete to win the League and Champions League.
“(As) Manchester United coach, you cannot say that you’re not going to fight to win the League or Champions League.
“You have to be, to mentally say, listen, maybe we don’t have that potential, but I cannot say that. We’re going to try. You have to try.”

Shock moment MAFS UK bride Amy reveals she SLEPT with Adam in marital bed she shares with Luke – leaving him ‘numb’
MARRIED At First Sight bride Amy shocks her husband Luke tonight as she revealed she slept next to Adam in his marital bed.
This week the remaining couples spend some time apart from their spouse and with another bride or groom from the experiment.
Amy revealed that she slept next to Adam in his marital bed[/caption]Amy is tasked with moving in with Adam, while Luke welcomes Lacey to his apartment.
After a few days away, Amy and Luke reunited and discussed how the break had been.
The discussion soon turned to their sleeping arrangements, as Amy dropped a huge bombshell.
Luke asked: “Did you get the bed?”
Amy replied: “Me and Adam shared a bed together.
“You’re fine about me and Adam sleeping in the same bed…
“And I would have never have let him sleep on the sofa, I would have felt too bad.”
Luke unconvincingly responded: “That’s brilliant.”
But he later made his feelings know when he told the camera: “That’s a bit of a butt hurt feeling, Amy telling me that she and Adam shared a bed.
“I don’t know which way to turn to. It’s just confusing, I’m numb at the moment.”
In a preview clip for tonight’s episode, Adam cheekily told Amy that he couldn’t sleep in his wedding ring.
Things appear to go from bad to worse for the pair for their upcoming home stays week.
Amy is left furious at Luke as she brands him a “liar”.
He responds by taking off his wedding ring and leaving it on the table before storming out.
Elsewhere, fans were left in hysterics after witnessing the most awkward sex chat in MAFS history.
Luke claimed Amy is “begging” him to park his car in her garage – as he attempted to explain their differing views in the bedroom.
Luke told Kieran: “There’s something I want to talk to you about, just for your ears.
“Sometimes when we’re together, she asks me to park the car in her garage.
“I was raised to always park your car outside, because if you park your car inside, then it’s beyond your control.”
Listening in during the dinner party, MAFS expert Charlene Douglas said: “I think Luke is alluding to the fact that Amy wants him to climax inside of her, but he doesn’t want to.”
Her fellow relationship guru Mel Schilling put her hands over her ears and yelled: “Private conversation, Luke!”
The chat divided viewers – with some laughing off Luke’s analogy while others got the ick.
One said: “Not Luke talking about ‘parking his car’ in Amy’s garage… idk if I want him to stop or tell me more.”
Someone else added: “”I don’t know how Amy isn’t constantly cringed out and gotten the ick from Luke the shit he says makes me physically ill.”
Another said: “Thinking perhaps Luke and Amy need to have a chat about contraception!! He’s absolutely hilarious though. I love him.”
Even Amy has admitted to getting the ick with Luke previously in their relationship.
When the pair met on their wedding day, Luke kissed her on the hand and said “hello baby” during a photo shoot.
Speaking to the camera, Amy admited: “It’s giving me the ick a little bit.”
He’s struggled to hold back during the experiment – often spewing out his intimate thoughts on camera.
Luke once said: “The most embarrassing thing I’ve done in the bedroom is I’ve offered an unsolicited and unwanted butt plug…
“Which quickly made its way back into the box.”
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
Major supermarket slashes price of Baileys to just £12 and it’s the cheapest around
A MAJOR supermarket has slashed the price of its Baileys to just £12 and it’s the cheapest around.
Baileys is a holiday favourite, and Christmas shoppers are expected to flock to stores to grab the discounted bottles.
Baileys is a holiday favourite among Christmas shoppers[/caption] Shoppers can buy Baileys for just £12 from Morrisons[/caption]Morrisons is selling its Baileys (1L) for just £12 making it the cheapest option around.
Shoppers will need to have or sign up for a More Card to access the reduced-price
Morrisons fans can get a More Card by downloading the My Morrisons App from the Android or Apple stores.
Shoppers can register for a digital or physical card by signing up on the app.
Customers can also register online at www.mymorrisons.com for the website experience.
If you still have a physical card, you can get paper vouchers printed at the till when you shop.
The £12 offer is also only available at stores with online shoppers having to pay £10 extra.
Bailey’s fans will be rushing to their nearest Morrisons, with supermarket chains selling their festive drinks at higher prices.
Asda’s Baileys is currently priced at £13, which is the same as Amazon, where the festive drink was reduced by a whopping 41 per cent, down from £22 to £13.
Sainsbury’s Baileys (1L) seems to be the most expensive option with the supermarket chain selling it for an eye-watering £21.95.
However, shoppers can get it reduced to just £13 if they have a Nectar card.
Tesco is selling its Baileys for £22, but Clubcard members can enjoy a £9 discount, bringing their price down to £13.
Prices may vary in-store and online too, and if you’re ordering online remember to factor in delivery fees too.
It’s worth noting too that these or other supermarkets could still sell Baileys for less between now and Christmas.
In previous years supermarkets including Tesco and Sainsbury’s have sold the festive tipple for £10 for a 1L bottle – though there’s no guarantee they will be as low again this year.
To compare prices between stores, go to the supermarket’s website and browse prices ahead of visiting.
For different sized bottles, you can look at how much each one costs per 100ml, to work out which is the best deal overall.
How else can I save money on Baileys?
Recently, shoppers have gone wild for an Aldi product which serves as the “perfect” Bailey’s dupe.
If you want to save even more cash, you can purchase the 70cl Ballycastle cream liqueur for £5.79 – just 82p per 100ml.
Shoppers have described the product as “lush” and “gorgeous” on Facebook.
The Ballycastle product even comes in several flavours, such as the newest addition, which is a Milk Chocolate Clementine version for £7.49.
If you’re willing to give something new a try, this could save you up to £16.21 on one bottle of Bailey’s.
In fact, for the price of one Bailey’s bottle from Morrisons or Asda (£22.00), you could almost buy four bottles of the Ballycastle make.
However, while the ABV (alcohol by volume) of Bailey’s is 16%, the Ballycastle booze is 12%.
Other supermarkets which have brought out their own Bailey’s dupes include Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Morrison’s, Asda, Lidl and M&S.
While the cheapest is Ballycastle, Lidl’s Irish Cream Liqueur is the second cheapest at £1.14 per 100ml.
In Tesco, the 70cl own brand liqueur is £8.50, at £1.21 per 100ml, and in Sainsbury’s, it is £9 at £1.28 per 100ml.
Morrison’s is lightly pricier, costing £13 for a 1L bottle.
To compare the best options, we recommend taking other factors into account as well as price, such as the ABV and reviews online.
What are unit prices and how to do they help shoppers?
Unit prices make it easier for shoppers to compare similar items of different sizes, explains consumer editor Lynsey Barber.
You should be able to see the product’s unit price where its price tag is shown – it may be in small print.
It displays the cost of different products by weight or volume.
It helps you easily compare the costs of different products, regardless of their respective sizes.
Compare this with the unit price of a similar item – for example, the cost per 100ml or two different types of cola – and choose the item with the lowest unit cost.
For example if a pack of 15 330ml cans of Coca-Cola Zero is priced at £7.90, then the unit price is shown as 16p per 100ml.
Shoppers can compare this to a 2-litre bottle of Coca-Cola Zero which is priced at £1.85, as it is also labelled as 9p per 100ml.
Major supermarkets like Tesco and Sainsbury’s also show these unit prices on loyalty prices.
Stores must show unit pricing under legislation known as the Price Marking Order 2004.
With this in mind, paying close attention to the unit prices of the staples in your shopping trolley could save you a fortune in the long term
Until I Kill You: cast, plot and filming locations explained
UNTIL I Kill You is an ITV drama which dramatises Delia Balmer’s relationship with the infamous Scalp Hunter killer.
Delia is played by Anna Maxwell Martin in the series, which takes place after John Sweeney had claimed his first victim.
The show follows Sweeney’s crime spree
The show follows the real-life events which led to John Sweeney AKA the Scalp Hunter’s arrest.
His first confirmed murder was that of his girlfriend Melissa Halstead, who was working as a freelance photographer in London.
When her work visa ran out, she did not want to return to her home state of Ohio and instead went on a journey with Sweeney in 1990.
Then, her body was pulled out of a canal in Rotterdam with its head and hands missing.
Sweeney’s second victim was Paula Fields, a sex worker whom he also met in London.
Her body was pulled out of Regent’s Canal in 2001 and, like Melissa’s, it was missing its head and hands.
Sweeney began dating Delia in 1991, an agency nurse, when he met her in Camden.
They dated for three years before she became suspicious when she discovered rope and gloves under their bed.
When he discovered that Delia was suspicious of him, he held her hostage for four days.
She managed to free herself and escape, prompting him to on the run.
Eventually, Sweeney was arrested but not before he murdered Paula.
Unlike many other dramatisations of true-crime stories, Until I Kill You will focus solely on Delia’s experience with the killer instead of giving viewers Sweeney’s perspective.
Anna said this was a deliberate choice, because they wanted to focus on Delia’s strength.
She added that she wanted to avoid “showing more gratuitous violence against females on TV” and also wanted to avoid giving even more fame to “predatory male killers”.
Star-studded cast
Anna Maxwell Martin
BAFTA-wining actress Anna Maxwell Martin will be stepping into Delia’s shoes and playing the nurse who had a lucky escape from the Scalp Hunter.
Fans of the hit series Motherland will recognise her from her portrayal of mum-of-two Julia, but others may know her for an appearance in the hilarious comedy series Mandy.
Anna has tried her hand at serious roles though, in the past, including a stint as Carmichael on Line of Duty.
Shaun Evans
Liverpool-born Shaun Evans will be playing John Sweeney, the man nicknamed “the Scalp Hunter” because of his gruesome murders.
Shaun made a name for himself when he portrayed Endeavour Morse on the ITV drama Endeavour from 2012 until 2023.
In 2025, he’ll be appearing in yet another ITV drama when he played MI5 agent John Hughes in Betrayal.
Kevin Doyle
Kevin has appeared in some of the biggest shows to air on British TV over his four decade career.
His biggest role was that of headteacher John in The Lakes which he played from 1997 until 1999.
Kevin also played Joseph Molesley in Downton Abbey from 2010 until 2015, but later reprised his role for the film series.
In Until I Kill You, he plays David who supports Delia in her court case against John.
Steve Edge
Benidorm-star Steve Edge will be playing DS Collins in the series.
His character is laser-focused on tracking down the terrifying Scalp Hunter, but the actor is better known for his more lighthearted roles.
Eagle-eyed viewers can spot him in the 2014 film Paddington, when he plays a security guard at the Natural History Museum.
A surprise filming location
The series was primarily filmed in Swansea, which was dressed up to look like London.
Anna said that thought the project would be filmed close to her home in London but was pleasantly surprised to find it would take her to Wales.
She said: “I love the Welsh people and we had a lovely crew, but this is all set literally around the corner from my house, so when I got it I thought, “Brilliant this is easy with the kids” – we’re a single-parent family so I thought it would be great… and then they said we were going all the way to Swansea!
“But I was staying in the Mumbles and I had the kids down over Easter, which was heaven – we went swimming along the Gower Peninsula every day and it was gorgeous.”
When will Until I Kill You be broadcast on ITV?
The nail-biting show will land on ITV on November 3, 2024.
It will kick off at 9pm, but anyone who misses the first episode can catch up on ITVX.
The full series will be available to binge early on the streaming platform.
