Manchester United players are demanding more straight talk from Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Mirror says Ronaldo, against Atalanta, interrupted Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's halftime team talk with United 2-0 down at the break as players argued among themselves.

The Norwegian was trying to defuse the situation before Ronaldo stepped in and gave United players the hairdryer treatment, according to The Sun.

It's claimed the forward asked his United teammates 'Are you not ashamed?' as he criticised their first half performance.

Whatever Ronaldo said, it seemed to do the trick as United completed a memorable comeback with the striker scoring a stoppage-time winner to alleviate some pressure on Solskjaer.

And in the wake of Ronaldo's actions, Man Utd players have reportedly asked their teammate to take up a 'bigger role' in the dressing room to bridge the gap between the players and the coaching staff.

Bruno Fernandes also chimed in during the break against Atalanta as he demanded the Old Trafford boss change his tactics.
