On the occasion of the 10th day of the Premier League, Manchester United carried out a great operation, and a great performance, dominating Tottenham (2-0). But the victory was partly overshadowed by the behavior of Cristiano Ronaldo who joined the locker room before the end of the meeting.
If Manchester United dominated Tottenham (2-0) this Wednesday in the Premier League, it is Cristiano Ronaldo that the English press should be talking about on Thursday. Not for his performance on the field of Old Trafford, he who did not come into play, but for his attitude at the end of the match. While elapsed time had just crossed the 89th minute, the Portuguese left the area reserved for substitutes to go directly to the locker room. A not very collective attitude, especially since Erik ten Hag had then only made three replacements, in two assignments, out of the five possible.
ten Hag: “Today we celebrate this victory”
Present at the microphone of Prime Video at the end of the Mancunian victory, the Dutch technician was obviously asked about this hasty exit from CR7. “I saw him yes. I didn’t talk to him afterwards,” ten Hag first answered when asked if he had given Ronaldo permission to act next. His answer and his attitude seemed to indicate that was not the case.
“I will take care of it tomorrow, not today. Today we are celebrating this victory and we have to recover for Saturday (at Chelsea, 6:30 p.m.)”, then replied the Dutchman under the watchful eye of the channel’s consultants Thierry Henry , Alan Shearer, Patrice Evra and Roberto Martinez. The tension should not fall in the coming days in the Mancunian locker room.
