before the end of Sunday’s friendly against Rayo Vallecano.

After taking a strong team to Oslo to face Atletico
Madrid on Saturday, United wrapped up their pre-season preparations against
another Spanish side the following day.
United drew 1–1 with Rayo at Old Trafford as star
man Ronaldo made his first appearance of pre-season, playing the first 45
minutes.
The 37-year-old missed the pre-season tour of Thailand
and Australia due to a family issue, and the wantaway forward was pictured with
Diogo Dalot leaving Sunday’s game before full-time.
Ten Hag did not speak to the media after the match
but has now expressed his annoyance to broadcaster Viaplay.
“There were many more (as well as Ronaldo) who went
home,” the United boss said.
“This is unacceptable for everyone,” he said. “I
tell them that it’s unacceptable, that we are a team, a squad and that you
should stay until the end.”
Ten Hag will take charge of his first competitive match as
United manager on Sunday, when they face Brighton at home in the Premier
League.
