Roy Keane refused to criticise Cristiano Ronaldo following his decision to not step off the bench during Manchester United's 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Wednesday night - but warned that his future at the club could be as good as over.
Leading 2-0 with just a few minutes left on the clock, Ronaldo, who was dropped to the bench following the goalless draw with Newcastle United a few days earlier, refused to come on, instead choosing to head back down the tunnel and into the dressing room. He left the stadium before his teammates had even returned to the dressing room following the full-time whistle.
Manager Erik ten Hag took disciplinary action against Ronaldo, leaving him out of the squad for Saturday's trip to Chelsea and forcing him to train alone at the club's Carrington training base on Friday. However, the Dutchman has reiterated that the former Juventus man remains part of his plans moving forwards.
