After Ronaldo left the game early in the match between Tottenham and Tottenham, Manchester United manager Ten Hag said that "this matter will be dealt with tomorrow". In the early morning of October 21, the punishment of Ronaldo came as scheduled. Manchester United officially announced that Ronaldo has been temporarily excluded from the team and will not play in the weekend's game against Chelsea. In addition, he will not be allowed to train with the team for the next 3 days. This kind of suspension + suspension penalty is likely to make Ronaldo lose his last chance to say goodbye to Manchester United.
After learning of the penalty, Ronaldo responded on social media for the first time, but praised himself for respecting teammates, coaches and opponents, and said that he would continue to work hard in Carrington. But at the same time, it claims that "giving in to pressure is not an option". Clearly, the Portuguese superstar did not mean to apologize for his unprofessional departure early.
In addition, a number of media, including TA, broke the news that made Ronaldo worse, that is, before he left the field early, he refused Ten Hag's request to let him come off the bench, which is obviously more serious than early departure. Britain's Robertson said that Ronaldo may not even play again before the World Cup. Another celebrity, Peter Hall, revealed that if agent Mendes is unable to find a home for Ronaldo, Manchester United are willing to terminate his contract with the Portuguese superstar in January to make him a free agent. In other words, a match against Tottenham may be the last time Ronaldo will be in the same frame as Manchester United.
From the crowd when he returned to Manchester United last summer, to the complete break and now without even a dignified farewell. Ronaldo's biggest mistake may have been to seriously underestimate manager Ten Hag's ruthlessness.
As a superstar of Old Trafford, Ronaldo has a special place in the hearts of Manchester United fans. So when he had an affair with Manchester City next door last summer, Manchester United fans were enthusiastic and asked the club to sign Ronaldo quickly and prevent him from wearing the shirt of the opponent next door. Although it was later reported that this was just a double reed sung by Ronaldo and agent Mendes using Manchester City, the purpose was to force Manchester United to sign him. But at least in this matter, it shows that Manchester United has special feelings for Ronaldo. Even if he ran away for half his life, he was still the wind-chasing boy of the Dream Theater when he returned, and he did not change in the slightest.
However, the support from fans, Manchester United celebrities and mentor Alex Ferguson also allowed the returning Ronaldo to overwhelm then Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and later interim manager Rangnick in influence. Although Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also claims to have Manchester United DNA, his super substitute role as a player is clearly not comparable to that of Cristiano Ronaldo. So even if he only rotated Ronaldo in a certain game, he was accused by a group of Manchester United celebrities, including Alex Ferguson, and after that, until the end of class, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer never dared to make Ronaldo a substitute. After that, the unbelieving Rangnick arranged Ronaldo to substitute, and as a result, the Portuguese superstar directly chose to go on vacation, not even leaving a back of the head for the German famous coach.
However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is used to him, and Rangnick can't do anything with him, which does not mean that Ten Hag will also be afraid of three points against Ronaldo. The Dutch boss is not a good-tempered person, he is assertive and goal-oriented, and once he identifies a goal, he will not change easily. At the same time, he is also very strict with his players and adheres to the theory of state-only. Manchester United captain Anthony Martial was completely reduced to the fringes by him on the bench, and the love he brought in this summer was the main player from the start, leaving England international Luke Shaw as a substitute, but only in a poor performance in the Premier League with Manchester City and subsequently in the Europa League match with Omonia, Malaysia was knocked out by Ten Hag and Luke Shaw returned to the top.
In fact, the reason why Ten Hag dared to take over Manchester United must have received some commitment from the top of Manchester United, so he dared to do what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did and Rangnick did uselessly, and put Ronaldo on the bench. In addition, it should be noted that even if Ronaldo was rubbed on the ground by Ten Hag this season, the latter's mentor Ferguson has always remained silent, and although Scholes, Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville and others shout a few words from time to time, they want to rub Ronaldo's traffic, and Ten Hag does not care about it at all.
Of course, the most important thing is Ronaldo's own indisputability. With just two goals and one assist in 12 appearances this season, the stats are falling off a cliff. Without him, United played well, especially against Tottenham Hotspur, who played one of the most dominant games of the Ten Hag era. Ronaldo is a demon in this situation, which is equivalent to handing his neck to Ten Hag's big knife. The moment he walked out of the pitch, Ten Hag had got everything he wanted.
