Gary Neville has branded Cristiano Ronaldo’s tunnel strop as “unacceptable” and said his Manchester United “relationship” should be ended.
The 37-year-old was made to train on his own and banished from United’s squad against Chelsea after he refused to come on in the latter stages of the midweek win over Tottenham. Ronaldo was named amongst the substitutes against Spurs as his teammates put together one of the most complete performances under Erik ten Hag.
But before the final whistle was blown, the Portuguese forward made his way through the Old Trafford tunnel and back into the dressing room. Ten Hag subsequently confirmed he would deal with the indiscretion, with Ronaldo having done similar against Rayo Vallecano in pre-season.
