Manager has to do the right thing for the team and ten Haag is doing that for the team. He is measuring players equally based on what kind of performance a player puts on the team. That requires guts which earlier managers didn't had. I don't think they will bench Ronaldo completely as they are out of attacking options and I think ten Haag plans is to use him as a striker in attacks at later stage maybe a bit with change in attacking strategy so I think somewhere there is a role for Ronaldo still. The thing is how Ronaldo is handling this situation as he obviously want to start and complete the game but manager always wants the best for the team.
