Mark Bosnich tells Manchester United to 'move on' from Cristiano Ronaldo incident

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Mark Bosnich says the Reds must 'move on' from the controversy surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo, following his refusal to step off the bench in last Wednesday's 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

The 37-year-old, who has scored just two goals in all competitions so far this season, was dropped to the bench for the visit of Antonio Conte's side, just three days after earning his second Premier League start of the season in the goalless draw with Newcastle United. He was asked to step off the bench and into the heat of the battle in the closing stages of the contest by manager Erik ten Hag.

Ronaldo, however, refused, instead choosing to walk down the touchline, down the tunnel, back into the dressing room and leave the stadium, all before the full-time whistle. Ten Hag took disciplinary action against the Portugal international and banished him from the squad for Saturday's draw at Chelsea.
