Cristiano Ronaldo has been forced to sweat on his fate ahead of showdown talks with Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag.
Ronaldo was dropped for Saturday's 1-1 draw at Chelsea and made to train away from the first-team squad after refusing to come on as a sub in United's 2-0 win over Tottenham. Ten Hag said he would have talks with Ronaldo - who was also fined two weeks' wages of nearly £1million - before deciding whether to allow him back to train with the first-team group.
But United's players have been given an today off following the Stamford Bridge draw, meaning Ronaldo must wait until tomorrow to learn his fate. The United boss wants to see genuine contrition from Ronaldo over his conduct, before allowing him to resume training with the first-team, having sent out a strong message with his treatment of the club's most high-profile player.
