Cristiano Ronaldo dominated the headlines despite not getting on the pitch in Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.
After the 37-year-old stormed down the tunnel before the full-time whistle, like something you’d expect from a petulant child, Erik ten Hag said he would talk to him about it tomorrow, as per ESPN.

The manager had no other choice in the matter as The Athletic report that Ronaldo left the stadium before the players returned to celebrate after the win.
Well, the time to speak to Ronaldo has come…
The Portuguese star was seen arriving at Carrington earlier today (picture courtesy of Manchester Evening News).

Stretty News verdict – What should Ten Hag do with Ronaldo?
I’d fine Ronaldo on the spot. This behaviour is unacceptable and it’s out of sync with his team-mates, who are trying to win football matches.
Distractions like this cannot be tolerated.
