If Todd Boehly needed any firmer proof of why steering clear of Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer was the correct move, Wednesday probably offered the strongest indication.
Walking down the tunnel in a supposed hump at not featuring in Manchester United's impressive 2-0 win over Spurs at Old Trafford signalled a player again placing his own ego above the overall spirit of the team.
United have improved under Erik ten Hag, mainly due to Ronaldo's absence and the tactical improvement seen with having more mobile attackers to implement a coherent pressing structure and speed in transition.
