Manchester United supporters have seen the funny side after watching Cristiano Ronaldo dropped to the Portugal bench as his replacement opened the scoring in their World Cup showdown with Switzerland.
Ronaldo, 37, is without a club after leaving Old Trafford for the second time in the aftermath of that explosive chat with Piers Morgan in which he slammed United, manager Erik ten Hag and several key figures past and present. As a result, the Premier League giants parted ways with the Portugal captain.
Despite underlining his goalscoring prowess in the group stages, Ronaldo found himself on thin ice, yet again, with Portugal manager Fernando Santos for his reaction to being substituted in their last game. Ronaldo was dropped by his country on Tuesday night when they locked horns with Switzerland for a place in the World Cup quarters.
