Amid speculation over whether he would be departing United over the summer, Ronaldo and other players left a preseason friendly against Rayo Vallecano before full-time – something new boss Ten Hag had labelled “unacceptable”.
Ronaldo – who did not feature for the next Premier League match against Chelsea – claimed his reaction had been a result of Ten Hag’s comments about not wanting to send him on for the closing stages of the humiliating 6-3 defeat to rivals Manchester City. “I think he did it on purpose. I felt provoked not only because of that game, but before. He doesn’t respect the way I should deserve.Ronaldo, who is currently on World Cup duty with Portugal, added: “I think it was a strategy from the club for me to react that way.“To be honest, I never had a problem with any club, with any coach. And they suspend me three days, which I felt was a lot – and the level of sport, clubs, I felt a lot. It was a shame.
“When I arrived at Manchester United, I always be available to help the team to do the good things, to put in the right spots, to compete with the best teams,” he said.
