Erik ten Hag and the Manchester United dressing room are said to be extremely disappointed with Cristiano Ronaldo's attack on the club.
Ronaldo dropped the bombshell that he feels "betrayed" by Man United and that he has become a "black sheep" in an explosive tell-all interview with Piers Morgan, in which he admitted he has no respect for Ten Hag.
The 37-year-old forward, who has become a bit-part player at Man United this season, slammed the club's progress since the successful Sir Alex Ferguson regime and claimed there are senior people behind the scenes at Old Trafford trying to force him out.
According to Sky Sports, the Man United squad and Ten Hag only found out about the explosive interview following their last-gasp win over Fulham.
They learnt it was to be published that night as they boarded a flight from London to Manchester and are said to be upset with the manner and timing of its release.
The interview was released in conjunction with the Premier League breaking for the World Cup, with Ronaldo heading off to join his Portugal teammates.
Domestic football is now on the back burner with Ten Hag not due to speak to the press or make a decision at Man United until after the tournament in late December.
Ronaldo will likely leave United the following month in January as his interview appears to have burned bridges beyond repair at Old Trafford.
In the interview, published via The Sun, Ronaldo was particularly scathing of his boss Ten Hag, saying: "I don't have respect for him because he doesn't show respect for me.
"If you don't have respect for me, I'm never gonna have respect for you. If you don't have respect for me, I'm never gonna have respect for you."
He also hit out at his fellow teammate and United legend Wayne Rooney, saying: "I don't know why he criticises me so badly. Probably because he finished his career and I'm still playing at a high level.
"I'm not going to say that I'm looking better than him. Which is true."
Sir Alex Ferguson was briefly mentioned in Ronaldo's outburst, with the forward saying: "He knows better than anybody that the club is not on the path they deserve to be.
"He knows. Everyone knows. The people who don't see that… it's because they don't want to see; they are blind."
