Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at Manchester United’s training facility early in order to work out on his own, thus he did not participate in Friday’s squad workout.

Cristiano Ronaldo Has Been Handed A £720,000 Fine For Refusing To Come On Against Tottenham And For Leaving The Stadium Before Full Time

The Portuguese star left Old Trafford before the final whistle after refusing to come off the bench in Manchester United’s 2-0 triumph against Tottenham.

After the incident, the team issued a statement informing supporters that Ronaldo will not be playing against Chelsea on Saturday.

For refusing to leave the bench, Ronaldo was fined 720,000 pounds, or two weeks’ pay, and according to sources, none of his teammates have gone to his defense since the incident.

Erik ten Hag’s comment on Cristiano Ronaldo

Just a few months after the former Real Madrid star submitted a transfer request, head coach Erik ten Hag’s relationship with the 35-year-old Portuguese star has worsened.

After finally losing patience, Erik ten Hag wants Cristiano Ronaldo to leave Manchester United in January, even if it means ripping up the veteran’s contract.

After the striker rushed down the tunnel and out of Old Trafford before the finish of United’s 2-0 victory against Tottenham on Wednesday night, Ronaldo is now seen as the bad egg in the squad.

It has since been confirmed by Manchester United that Ronaldo will not be considered for this weekend’s match against Chelsea, and there is even a chance that the former Juventus player has already played his final game for the club. This is despite the fact that Ten Hag was hesitant to speak about the incident after the game.

Regardless of whether Ronaldo has any potential bidders lined up, Ten Hag now wants the forward out of the club in January. And it might result in United terminating Ronaldo’s contract, which is valid through the end of the current campaign, six months early.

According to the source, Ronaldo has now lost the support of the “few allies” he had at Old Trafford as a result of his extraordinary post-game tantrum in midweek. Ronaldo will practice alone this week in addition to being left off the United team that will visit Chelsea this weekend and receiving a hefty punishment for his most recent transgression.

United said in a statement issued on Thursday night: “Cristiano Ronaldo will not be part of the Manchester United squad for this Saturday’s game against Chelsea. The rest of the squad is fully focused on preparing for that fixture.”

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Half Baked Apology

Although Ronaldo sent a statement on social media on Thursday, he didn’t formally apologize for his behavior during the Spurs game.

Shortly following United’s update, Ronaldo issued a statement of his own. He acknowledged that he made a mistake in the “passion of the moment,” but he made no apologies.

“As I’ve always done throughout my career, I try to live and play respectfully towards my colleagues, my adversaries and my coaches,” the statement read. “That hasn’t changed. I haven’t changed. I’m the same person and the same professional that I’ve been for the last 20 years playing elite football, and respect has always played a very important role in my decision making process.”

“I started very young, the older and most experienced players examples were always very important to me. Therefore, later on, I’ve always tried to set the example myself for the youngsters that grew in all the teams that I’ve represented. Unfortunately that’s not always possible and sometimes the heat of the moment get’s the best of us.”

“Right now, I just feel that I have to keep working hard in Carrington, support my teammates and be ready for everything in any given game. Giving in to the pressure is not an option. It never was. This is Manchester United, and united we must stand. Soon we’ll be together again.”

How did Ten Hag handle the incident on Wednesday?

Ronaldo was forced to train alone after Ten Hag decided to leave him out of the team for the trip to Chelsea. The club has also backed Ten Hag in this decision.

The Dutchman wants Ronaldo to be a part of the changes he wants to make at United, but only under his management.

When asked if Ronaldo had received a fine for his activities, the coach declined to answer.

How do things look in Portugal And Cristiano Ronaldo before the World Cup?

When wearing a Portugal shirt, Ronaldo’s lack of form and match sharpness frequently feels unimportant.

Who would be courageous enough to drop their nation’s finest and most decorated player of all time? His Euro 2016 victory gave him god-like status in Portugal.

However, following a lackluster showing against Spain last month, Portuguese news source A Bola suggested that Ronaldo’s playing time for his country “may have to be restricted.”

Goals for United are hoped to inspire Ronaldo and, if not, at least keep him in form for Portugal’s World Cup appearance but that might be difficult for him with all the battles he is currently facing at the club.

On November 24, Portugal plays Ghana in Qatar before going up against Uruguay and South Korea in group H.

Diogo Jota, a forward for Liverpool, will not be traveling with the Portugal team after sustaining a calf injury during Sunday’s 1-0 victory over Manchester City. This development has made Ronaldo a more useful part of Portugal’s Qatar World Cup squad.
