Peter Schmeichel and Gary Neville agree on Cristiano Ronaldo antics after long statement

Former Manchester United duo Peter Schmeichel and Gary Neville are both in agreement over Cristiano Ronaldo's conduct in light of the forward being axed from the first-team squad.

The 37-year-old forward has been punished by boss Erik ten Hag for his conduct at the tail-end of Wednesday night's 2-0 home win over Tottenham. Just as the game was heading into second-half stoppage time, Ronaldo took it upon himself to storm down the Old Trafford tunnel once it became clear he would not be coming off the bench.

It obviously did not evade Ten Hag's detection, as the United manager told Amazon Prime: "He was there, I have seen him but I didn't speak. I will deal with that tomorrow not today. We're celebrating this victory and now we have to recover and another big game on Saturday, Chelsea. The Premier League, so exciting."
