On the occasion of the 10th day of the Premier League, Manchester United made a great operation, and a great performance, dominating Tottenham (2-0). But the victory was partly clouded by the behavior of Cristiano Ronaldo, who entered the locker room before the end of the match.
If Manchester United dominated Tottenham (2-0) on Wednesday in the Premier League, it is Cristiano Ronaldo that the English press should talk about on Thursday. Not for his performance on the Old Trafford pitch, he who didn’t enter the field, but for his attitude at the end of the game. With the passage of time just passed in the 89th minute, the Portuguese left the area reserved for substitutes to go directly to the locker room. Not very collective attitude, especially since Erik ten Hag had then made only three substitutions, in two positions, out of the five possible.
ten Hag: “Today we celebrate this victory”
Present at Prime Video’s microphone at the end of the Mancunian victory, the Dutch technician was obviously questioned about this hasty exit from CR7. “I saw him yes. I didn’t talk to him after,” ten Hag first replied when asked if he had granted Ronaldo permission to act later. Her response and his attitude seemed to indicate that this was not the case.
“I’ll think about it tomorrow, not today. Today we celebrate this victory and we have to catch up on Saturday (at Chelsea, 6.30pm)”, then replied the Dutchman under the watchful eye of channel consultants Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer, Patrice Evra and Roberto Martinez. The tension should not subside in the coming days in the Mancunian locker room.
