Manager ‘to deal with’ Ronaldo after early exit (VIDEO)

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag appears on a collision course with the star striker

Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag could be set for a major clash after the Dutchman said he would “deal with” the Portuguese football icon for leaving early during the team’s 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday.

After what was regarded as one of their best performances of the season, United moved within a point of the Premier League top four by beating third-placed Spurs at Old Trafford.

Goals from Fred and Bruno Fernandes decided the scoreline, but Ronaldo did not wait until the final whistle after watching the entirety of the match from the substitutes’ bench.  

The 37-year-old was filmed heading down the Old Trafford tunnel in the 89th minute while refusing to shake hands with fans.

The Athletic claims that Ronaldo not only left the pitch prematurely, but also departed the ground before the full 90 minutes were up.
