EPL: Former Alex Ferguson’s assistant, Phelan gives verdict on Ronaldo’s latest situation

By Adeleye Kunle

Mike Phelan, a former assistant to Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United has given his verdict on Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest tantrum

Ronaldo scored a hat-trick against Tottenham last season but was left on the bench for their Premier League clash against Spurs on Wednesday.

Visibly angered by Erik ten Hag’s decision, the Portuguese decided to leave Old Trafford before the end of the 2-0 win over Tottenham.

Erik ten Hag’s team’s success was somewhat overshadowed by Ronaldo’s early departure from the stadium.

Ronaldo has since been punished. He won’t be taking any part in the game against Chelsea on Saturday and has been banned from training with the first team.
