The \u00a385million deadline day signing Antony is also in contention.<\/p>\n<p>I will be his friend, sometimes I will be his teacher. It depends on the situation,\u2019 said Ten Hag about his carrot-and-stick approach to Ronaldo. \u2018As we all know, he didn\u2019t have the pre-season and you can not miss the pre-season.<\/p>\n<p>It depends, demands, co-operation and demands certain positioning, in and out of possession.
