'This is unacceptable, you have to stay until the end': Ten Hag slams Ronaldo for leaving pre-season game early

He was subsequently spotted leaving Old Trafford before the final whistle. 

 responded to his actions, claiming they had no problems with it.

 has now come out to respond to Cristiano's early exit, calling it 'unacceptable'.

When told that Ronaldo had left the game early in an interview with Viaplay Sport, he replied: "There were more who did this." 

He then responded to the question of whether it was okay for them to do so: "Absolutely not. This is unacceptable. I tell them this, that's unacceptable. We are a team, we are a squad. You have to stay until the end."

Man United respond to Ronaldo leaving Old Trafford early before end of Rayo Vallecano game

 did leave Old Trafford early even before the 

While they refused to comment on it initially, the club have clarified that they have no issue with him doing so.

The Portuguese forward was one of the many players to leave the game before the final whistle blew, with many non-playing stars also doing so.

Ronaldo did play in the game, playing one half before being substituted at half-time. After that, he 

took very little time darting away to his home

The 37-year-old is still trying to orchestrate a move away from Old Trafford, but has reportedly promised to stay professional as long as he is a United player.

Ronaldo seemingly leaves Old Trafford before end of Rayo Vallecano clash – United fans are livid

Cristiano Ronaldo did not take much time to leave Old Trafford after being substituted at half-time in Man United’s 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano.

The Portuguese forward was not pictured back on the ground in the second half and it looks like he quickly went home even before the final whistle was blown.

A United fan, Gaz, pictured Ronaldo going away before the end of the game all alone by himself.

It’s not sure yet whether he took Erik ten Hag’s permission to do so, with his acts annoying some United fans who reacted on Twitter.

FourFourJordan: “If this wasn’t approved by ten Hag he needs to be removed from the first-team set up completely until he finds a move. Can’t do another season of a broken dressing room.”

Proph: “I want him out already, he is gradually becoming a negative influence.”

Jacob Jarvis: “pathetic, let him go, waste of space genuinely.”

I said before that since ETH said he is ready to welcome him back, he will be able to handle Ronaldo professionally. It's now left for Ronnie to reciprocate it or know his fate under TH🤷

What ever happened to our Siege mentality in the camp we all know most people hate us fans and as a club so why do we keep fuelling their fire with all the washing our dirty linen in public ETH should keep his views to himself and only talk to the individuals involved and not give the hater’s any more ammunition we are already a laughing stock with the whole DeJong DEBACLE

Stephen McInerney

if you read his comments ..never picked on an individual...purely discipline across the Board..I'm happy with that.. singling out an individual I do not agree with.

Swerve........⚽⚽⚽⚽

The only headline’s I see is ronaldo being disrespectful I don’t see why so he left early so what and I was there and I saw loads of people leaving early it was a game that was going nowhere what do you want him to do stay and do what if he does it when the real games begin then maybe

yes ...but he did not say Ronaldo... apparently a few players left early .

We all know who it was aimed at after last season we should all be as one and stick together so Ronaldo gets frustrated with what he sees going on at the club no more than any true fan when we see the team that play Brighton i can name at least four who would get a game in the reserves

your blind love for CR7 won't let you see reason beyond haters criticising united.. let fix our room first before given shit about what others would say

Sopheddy

I thought it was only Ronaldo that left after the first half.

Solomon O

No I haven’t got a blind love for Ronaldo what i do recognise is he still is the best player we have and slagging him off is ludicrous if it wasn’t for him last season we would be lucky to finish top half of the table

that's it ETH.. stamp down your authority.  Team.first. play as one

Not only Ronaldo left before the final whistle, Other player did. But everybody’s talking about only him

ronaldo does think he's bigger than man united and no1 is bigger than man u just like Paul pogba did the same he thought he was bigger so we let him go twice on a free so let get rid off ronaldo

ghost24

But he was the only that was in the match day squad... That is the difference he should have been there to sit and observe his new teammates to learn how the New manager is setting the team out to play... Remember he has not had many days with this new system of play... Stop the madness of giving him special privileges because of his name.. The new manager is trying to set Standards for the team and this clown is gonna do everything to upset what ETH is doing..

Raymond GGMU

Ronaldo is trying to behave like he’s bigger than man United

Soolerym

Yes but CR7 is the "True Professional" remember? This is the guy who's behaviour you folk are defending but I wonder if this was Pogba what the response would've been from the CR7 fan club. Then again, we all know how that would go.

1978 Mannucian

i think some of you guys can just follow Ronaldo or any other player out of the door. i am a united fan period. i have no affiliation to any player. most of the players that left where not in the match day squard but Ronaldo was and that is the difference. the Question was asked in a general terms so ETH answered it as such but we all know Ronaldo is the main talking point. this guy wants to disrespect the club and that is unacceptable period!!!.

Slim

I would be saying the same thing… why is 1 player being attacked when multiple different players did the same

Gallagher Connor

Of all people, Ronaldo knew that leaving before the end of the match was unacceptable and unprofessional but because he wanted the make a point, he left. He is using every little thing to make his presence felt and not the team or the club. That’s exactly what Pogba was doing. When Ronaldo was not playing, he never posted an apology or a supporting message for the team then Sunday, he goes on social media to say 'Sunday the king is playing" and then during the match he was seen refusing the coach instructions... Let him go

BenjKif

How is he disrespecting the club. He wants to leave bc the board and the owners r showing no ambition and he doesn’t want to waste another year of his career. Personally I’m angry with the owners bc of how they r running the club, running this situation and running the transfers and I agree with Ronaldo and how he says no ambition is being shown as it is not. How and y has it taken 2-3months to “sign” de jong but now theres a chance Chelsea will get him… that’s just unacceptable

Ronaldo and the whole world knows that the club has no ambition bcoz there were so many protests by fans and complains by previous managers before Ronaldo came yet he signed for us. he has a contract with the club, if he wants out he should discuss it with the club and manager in private instead of missing training and preseason and leaving the game before the end. that is not how true professionals behave. lukaku did that and we were all over him for that so Ronaldo is no different. i hate the way the Glazers are running the club but i don't have a contract with the club so i can either stay and protest or leave but Ronaldo has a contract so if he wants to leave he needs to negotiate his way out but noto misbehave that is disrespectful simple and short.

Roystain

bcoz the one player was in the playing squard whiles the others were not named in the playing squard period. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE RULES.

Check the reports on the incident. The others that left were not part of the team and were seated in the press box so don't go there, CR7 started!!

I agree. I knew his return would create havock. He's selfish and self centered and has always been.

HE SAID IT TO ALL THE PLAYERS WHO LEFT NOT JUST RONALDO
