According to the sources, Manchester United are set to fine Cristiano Ronaldo £1 million for storming down the tunnel during their 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on October 19. Ronaldo was photographed leaving the Old Trafford tunnel in the 89th minute of Manchester United’s victory over Tottenham Hotspur and has faced widespread criticism for his actions.
Despite this, manager Erik ten Hag was still able to make two substitutions as his team cruised to a comfortable victory. Ten Hag is known for his discipline, and he appears to be stepping up his game against the Portuguese forward. Manchester United is set to fine Ronaldo two weeks’ wages, and the former Real Madrid striker will also be required to apologize to his teammates.
Ten Hag is sending a message that behavior like Ronaldo’s during Tottenham’s win will not be tolerated under his management. During pre-season, the Portuguese was scrutinized for a similar act when he left a friendly match against Rayo Vallecano after being substituted.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s frustration stems from a lack of playing time this season, as he has started only two of eight league games. The striker is having a difficult time at Old Trafford, having scored just two goals in 12 appearances across all competitions. Ronaldo’s contract expires next summer, but a one-year extension is possible.
Cristiano Ronaldo refused to come on as a late substitute
Cristiano Ronaldo refused to come on as a substitute in Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur, and the club has now dropped him from the squad for the weekend trip to Chelsea. After watching almost the entire game from the bench in frustration, the 37-year-old striker stormed into the tunnel and left Old Trafford before his teammates had even returned to the dressing room after full-time.
Club said in a brief statement: “Cristiano Ronaldo will not be part of the Manchester United squad for this Saturday’s Premier League game against Chelsea.
The Portuguese megastar had been rested for the Premier League clash after starting the previous two games for the Red Devils and failing to score a goal. On Sunday, Ronaldo was visibly enraged after Ten Hag chose to take him off before the final whistle, resulting in a toothless United drawing 0-0 with Newcastle.
According to the report, in the dying embers of Wednesday’s home win over Tottenham, Ten Hag told his No.7 to enter the action, but Ronaldo declined. Instead, Christian Eriksen and Anthony Elanga came on late for cameos as the Red Devils held on for the win after an impressive team performance.
