The Ronaldo Saga: A Walkout, Consequences, And The End Of An Era At United

Cristiano Ronaldo made his stance clear on Erik ten Hag after a dramatic exit during the Manchester United vs. Tottenham match. In October 2022, during the last home game against Spurs, Ronaldo attracted attention as he walked out before full-time, having been left as an unused substitute by manager Erik ten Hag. Despite United securing a 2-0 victory with goals from Fred and Bruno Fernandes, Ronaldo’s actions took center stage. Video footage from Amazon Prime Video captured Ronaldo crossing the touchline, glancing back, removing his bib and training top, and heading to the home changing room. Following the game, Ten Hag acknowledged the incident and mentioned addressing it the next day.

Ronaldo faced consequences, with Ten Hag suspending him for the subsequent match against Chelsea and instructing him to train with the Under 21s. Despite the temporary setback, Ronaldo returned to the squad for the Europa League clash against Sherriff, scoring in a 3-0 win. Ronaldo’s departure from Manchester United was officially confirmed on November 22, 2022, following an explosive interview with Piers Morgan. During the interview on Talk TV, Ronaldo discussed the incident against Tottenham, questioning the decision to not bring him on against Manchester City out of respect, only to be considered for a brief appearance against Tottenham
