According to the Dutch coach of Manchester United, Erik Ten Haag, Cristiano Ronaldo was temporarily removed from the first team. He trained individually. On Wednesday, Manchester United beat Tottenham 2:0 and the situation improved significantly. Ronaldo was a substitute. He refused to enter the field and left the stadium prematurely. It is unlikely that Cristiano will be brought back into the squad for Saturday’s game against Chelsea.

The Portuguese player responded to being cut from the first team and noted that he was never afraid of pressure and will soon be back with the first team.

“As I’ve always done throughout my career, I try to live and play respectfully with my colleagues, adversaries, and coaches. 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 an example for the youngsters that grew in all the teams I’ve represented. Unfortunately, that’s not always possible; sometimes the heat of the moment gets the best of us.

Right now, I just feel I have to keep working hard in Carrington, support my teammates and be ready for everything in any 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.” – Ronaldo wrote on his Instagram page.

37-year-old Ronaldo has scored only one goal in 8 Premier League games this season, and he has 1 goal and 1 assist in 4 games in the Europa League.
