Erik ten Hag said there had to be "consequences" for Cristiano Ronaldo after he refused to come on for Manchester United in their 2-0 win over Tottenham.
Ronaldo warmed up and was due to emerge in the 87th minute but Anthony Elanga and Christian Eriksen were sent on instead. Ronaldo disappeared down the tunnel in the 90th minute and has been omitted from the squad against Chelsea on Saturday.
Ten Hag admonished Ronaldo for leaving Old Trafford before full-time when he had played the first-half of the friendly draw with Rayo Vallecano in July and stressed that his second transgression warranted consequences.
