Cristiano Ronaldo refused to come on as substitute before storming down Man Utd tunnel

Cristiano Ronaldo refused to come on as a substitute during Manchester United's 2-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur, with the club now axing him from the squad for the trip to Chelsea at the weekend.

The 37-year-old striker caused a swarm of controversy in the 89th minute of Wednesday's match, as after watching almost the entirety of the game from the bench in frustration, he stormed down the tunnel and left Old Trafford before his teammates had even got back into the dressing room after full-time.

Ronaldo's actions are due to lead to a near-seven-figure fine, while the club have confirmed that he won't face Chelsea this Saturday.
