Cristiano Ronaldo storming out of Old Trafford is all the rage over the last few days. The striker was asked to get ready to be subbed on by Erik Ten Hag during the last minutes of the game. 

However, the veteran refused Erik Ten Hag’s instructions and walked out of the stadium altogether. And as a consequence, he has been dropped from the travelling squad to London for Manchester United‘s game against Chelsea. 

Cristiano Ronaldo’s relationship with Erik Ten Hag at breaking point 

The 37-year-old has been excluded from the starting line-up for the majority of United’s games this season. His time on the pitch has been restricted to substitute appearances, and a handful of starts for the team. 

Erik Ten Hag has decided that the striker will not be training with the first team, and that he will be left out of the squad for the foreseeable future. This is not the first time that Cristiano Ronaldo has pulled off this act, since he walked off before full-time during the friendly against Rayo Vallecano as well. 

And this time, Ten Hag is expected to take strict action against Ronaldo. The Dutchman is trying to build a strong team at Old Trafford, and behaviour like that shown by Ronaldo is simply unprofessional and disrespectful. The club is fully backing the manager, who is handling the situation very well – considering that United are getting a good run of form on the pitch once again.
