Cristiano Ronaldo gave the note again in the match that Manchester United beat Tottenham 2-0 for date 12 of the Premier League. But not precisely for having been a figure on the court. The Portuguese returned to see his teammates from the substitutes’ bench and, angry for not having entered the field, he left before the end to the locker room.
Another chapter that will be talked about in the English press due to the attitude of CR7, who was not taken into account by coach Erik Ten Hag and decided to show his annoyance with a long face by going to the showers with a few minutes left before the final whistle. In addition, he refused to greet a group of small United fans, who held out their hands to congratulate him.
“I’ll deal with it tomorrow, not today. We are now celebrating this victory, ”explained the United coach consulted about the gesture of his direction, in what seems to be a new sign of disrespect towards the team.
It is not the first time that Ronaldo has had similar attitudes towards his teammates and the public at Old Trafford. The Portuguese player does not hide his stern gestures when it is not his turn to enter or when he is replaced. In this case, the Dutchman Ten Hag had arguments to leave Cristiano on the bench, since United were a machine against Tottenham.
The performance of Red Devils It was very good with an indisputable victory with goals from the Brazilian Fred and the Portuguese Bruno Fernandes. Those from Manchester were fifth in the standings with 19 points (three without losing), 8 behind the leader Arsenal.
We will have to wait and see what the reaction will be within Ronaldo’s dressing room, who continues to have little experience with the team, especially in the Premier League. In the Europa League, the attacker of the Portugal team is usually a starter.
The numbers of the world star in the season are worrying: he only played 90 minutes against Brentford on the second date of the Premier. Of 10 games he acted in 8, but entering from the substitute bench. Against Liverpool, on matchday 3, he barely played four minutes and did not even enter the classic against City.
Rumors had already been growing that he would try to leave the club in January (he has a contract until June), after unsuccessful flirting with several institutions at the beginning of the season (Chelsea, Atlético Madrid, Barcelona, Napoli, Milan…). His attitudes do nothing more than open the door, but in a conflictive way.
Manchester United will play again as a visitor at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea on Saturday in another key duel for the English league and on Thursday, October 27, they will receive the Sherif of Moldova at the Theater of Dreams for the international tournament. Will CR7 play?
