Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Manchester United, has drawn criticism after leaving the pitch before the conclusion of the team’s Premier League match against Tottenham on Wednesday.

At Old Trafford, Bruno Fernandes’ two goals helped United defeat Spurs. Ronaldo was kept on the bench throughout the contest in anticipation of a substitution.

The camera saw the 37-year-old strolling down the tunnel in a furious manner, though, before the game was over.

“We are celebrating this victory.”

He continued, “We are building for the future, but the future is tonight,” the United boss told Amazon.

“You pick the line-up that you think has the most chance to win, and you have a game plan. Cristiano [Ronaldo] is an important player and he can make the goal.

“I have to deal with all the players’ expectations and I have to deal with developing this team. You have to make a game plan.

“This is a good Tottenham team, a compact, a transition team with high intensity and I think this is the best way to start like this. You get more runs behind, more dynamic up front.”

On his part, former EPL player, Danny Mills, described Ronaldo’s action as a disgrace.

Mills told Sky Sports: “It’s a little bit of a selfish act to go, ‘oh actually I’m not involved’, he knows full well that everybody’s going to see it.

“You know what it’s like at Old Trafford, you’ve got to walk all the way down the touchline, not just sneaking down at the halfway line. He knows everyone’s going to watch him.

“And I feel sorry for United now, and Ten Hag because that’s an outstanding result against a top side and all it’s going to be about is Ronaldo.

“It’s an absolute disgrace, I think it’s incredibly disrespectful to the team, to the manager, to the fans.

“They were winning 2-0, what complaint can he have? If they were losing 2-0 it still wouldn’t be right, but I would sort of understand it. He clearly thinks he’s bigger than the football club.”
