All eyes were on Cristiano Ronaldo on Wednesday evening following his fiery reaction to being substituted by Ralf Rangnick.
With Manchester United 2-0 ahead against Brentford, the Portuguese superstar was replaced by club captain Harry Maguire.
Ronaldo was clearly unhappy with Rangnick's decision, looking frustrated and petulantly throwing his coat down on the bench.
His reaction was mocked by the Brentford fans and became an instant talking point, adding more pressure on Rangnick's shoulders.
The German, however, was keen to quash Ronaldo's outburst and is believed to have immediately spoken to his player about the switch.
What did you make of Cristiano Ronaldo's outburst? Let us know in the comments below!
"I know you're ambitious to score but maybe in two years' time when you are a head coach like me and in the same position you'll understand," Rangnick said to Ronaldo, as quoted by journalist Miguel Delaney.
United went on to beat Brentford 3-1 in west London thanks to goals from Anthony Elanga, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford.
In his post-match interview, Rangnick was happy to explain the substitution and Ronaldo's outburst with the press.
"I didn’t expect him to hug me after being substituted," said the interim manager. "I have no issues whatsoever with Cristiano. I’ve been here six weeks and never had any issue with him – none whatsoever."
Speaking to BBC Sport, Rangnick added: "He was not happy but he came back from injury. I was happy to have him on board for today's game, especially after Edinson Cavani could not train.
"I told him [Ronaldo] we were 2-0 up and we have to learn lessons from Villa Park. After that game, I was angry with myself for not changing to a back five.
"Today was exactly the same situation and I did not want to make the same mistake again.
"I said, 'Listen, Cristiano, you are 36 and in great shape, but when you are a head coach, you will see it through the glasses of a head coach.'
"My job is to take the decisions in the best interest of the team and the club and I hope he sees it the same way."
United were fortunate to come away with the victory, with Brentford having several chances to score before Elanga's opener.
"The first half we were second best in almost all aspects of the game, sloppy passing, missing 50-50 situations and hardly won any second balls," admitted Rangnick.
"We were nervous on the counter-attack and were lucky at half-time to have a draw. A few great saves again from David de Gea and we showed a different face in the second half.
"Scott McTominay was exemplary and it was positively contagious to the other players then we could get some counter-attacking situations, the second and third goals were really good with assists from Bruno Fernandes.
"He was not happy with his own decision to chip the ball. It would be more difficult for us it cope if it was 1-1 in that situation.
"We spoke about what we needed to do, raise our demands and standards with regards to our physicality but our wingers would have stayed wider to pin back their wing-backs."
