Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville predicted that Cristiano Ronaldo would struggle to fit in at the club under Erik ten Hag before the Premier League season had even begun.
Ronaldo has been dropped from United's squad to play against Chelsea this weekend after the 37-year-old was seen walking down the tunnel at Old Trafford before the full-time whistle had been blown, during the 2-0 win over Tottenham on Wednesday night. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner then promptly left the stadium, rather than staying behind to celebrate with his teammates in the dressing room.
Ronaldo has since acknowledged the incident in a message on social media, yet Ten Hag will be eager not to let the situation the distract his players ahead of a challenging fixture in West London on Saturday afternoon.
