EPL: Pathetic, loads of nonsense – Pennant slams Ronaldo for refusing to apologise to Ten Hag

By Adeleye Kunle

Former Liverpool winger, Jermaine Pennant has slammed Cristiano Ronaldo for failing to apologise to his manager, teammates and fans over his ‘arrogant’ behaviour during their 2-0 win over Tottenham.

The club released a statement immediately and said a disciplinary action would be taken.

Ronaldo was said to have refused to come on as a substitute during the game and later walked down the Old Trafford tunnel before the end of the match and left the stadium straight away.

Manchester United’s statement on Thursday said that the Portuguese would be dropped for the match against Chelsea this weekend as part of his punishment.

The former Real Madrid and Juventus star himself then released a statement in the hours after that saying ‘sometimes the heat of the moment gets the better of us’.
