HE WAS LEFT OUT OF THE SQUAD BEFORE THE CHELSEA MATCH
Ronaldo, who was excluded from Manchester United’s next match against Chelsea, was instructed to train separately from the team.
HE WAS NOT TAKEN INTO THE LOCKING ROOM
Erik Ten Hag took the situation one step further by not allowing Cristiano Ronaldo, who was working separately from the team during this period, to enter the dressing room to get his shoes.
The Portuguese star, who was not allowed to enter the dressing room, had to send an academy player to enter the dressing room for him.
MANU FOOTBALL PLAYERS WERE DISTURBED
While Ten Hag’s humiliating punishment method was even more challenging for a player like Ronaldo, other experienced players in the team were not happy with this attitude.
WHAT HAPPENED?
In the match where Manchester United defeated Tottenham 2-0 at home, Ronaldo, who remained on the bench, headed to the dressing room and left the stadium without waiting for the end of the match.
Although 37-year-old Ronaldo was sent to warm-up in the 40th minute by coach Ten Hag, he did not take part in the match. Asked about his player after the match, Ten Hag said: “I will deal with this situation tomorrow, not today. We are celebrating our victory right now.” he said.
