Unhappy that he did not enter early enough against Tottenham (2-0) in the Premier League on Wednesday, Cristiano Ronaldo refused to play the final minutes. The Manchester United striker left the stadium without telling anyone. As a result, coach Erik ten Hag decided to do without the Portuguese this weekend.
This time around, Cristiano Ronaldo has probably reached the limits of coach Erik ten Hag. Replaced since the beginning of the season, after his abortive departure in the summer transfer window, the Manchester United striker resumed the game against Tottenham on the bench. The Portuguese hoped to come into play at least soon enough to make a difference. Except that the Dutch coach was not of the same opinion. At 89 ‘Cristiano Ronaldo then decided to skip the end of the match.

And according to the English press, the five-time Golden Ball even left the stadium without telling anyone. Not even his coach necessarily showed up at the press conference. ” I have seen it yes. I didn’t talk to him after. I’ll take care of it tomorrow, not todaythe coach confided after the match won against Spurs. Today we celebrate this victory and we have to catch up for Saturday. You can understand the anger of Erik ten Hag who, according to information from the Daily Mail, would have asked Cristiano Ronaldo to enter the field at the end of the game.
Ronaldo rejected!
Only here the former Real Madrid player would have refused! Believing that CR7 hoped to play more. In any case, the center forward has left in a hurry from Old Trafford and faces even more difficult weeks. The proof, Manchester United made a radical decision. For Saturday’s match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and perhaps even more, Cristiano Ronaldo finds himself sidelined! New evidence, if necessary, that the Portuguese international is not considered essential. And that a departure this winter seems inevitable.
