After scandal against Tottenham |
United suspend Ronaldo!
Bang at Manchester United!
The “Red Devils” suspend Cristiano Ronaldo (37)! The club announced this on its website on Thursday evening. It said in a nutshell: “Cristiano Ronaldo will not be in the Manchester United squad for the Premier League game against Chelsea next Saturday. The rest of the team is fully focused on preparing for this game.”

The background to the expulsion is the action of the noble kicker on Wednesday: In the game against Tottenham (2-0), coach Erik ten Hag (52) had only put him on the bench again. Shortly before the end of the game, the frustrated Portuguese made his way from the touchline to the dressing room – although he could have been substituted on. A scandalous departure!
The “Daily Mail” even reports that ten Hag actually wanted to bring Ronaldo into play in the 87th minute. But CR7 refused. Instead, Elanga and Eriksen came in.
The reactions followed promptly, numerous ex-professionals such as Michael Owen or Gary Lineker spoke up. “It’s not very professional,” criticized Owen, who nevertheless showed understanding: He could understand Ronaldo’s frustration, “it must be difficult for him”. Lineker chose more drastic words: “I’m sorry, but that’s unacceptable, that’s so pathetic,” said the TV expert about Ronaldo’s escape.
Head coach ten Hag avoided the explosive topic after the game. “I’ll deal with that tomorrow, not today. Now we’re celebrating this win,” said the Dutchman on Wednesday evening. “I saw him, but I didn’t speak to him.”
Ronaldo’s scandalous departure – now ten Hag and the United club management have drawn the consequences. How and if the superstar will continue after the Chelsea game? Uncertain.
