Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United forward, has broken silence after leaving the pitch before the match ended against Tottenham on Thursday evening.
It was recalled that the Portuguese player stormed down the tunnel and refused to come on as a substitute when his side eased past Spurs at Old Trafford.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner sat on the bench for Manchester United’s game against Tottenham and observed as his teammates defeated Antonio Conte’s men 2-0 in what was arguably their best performance under Erik ten Hag.
Ronaldo was seen strolling down the pitch and into the tunnel with a few minutes left in the game, visibly distraught over his lack of involvement.
Following this, the Dutch manager handled the situation with the support of the Club, and a statement was released to axe the striker from the travelling squad that was scheduled to play Chelsea this weekend.
Ronaldo intended to provide his own side of the story as he took to his Instagram page to write his perspective and noted that “respect” was a key factor in his choices.
