"Messi would never" "Biggest crybaby in football history" - Manchester United fans brutally troll Cristiano Ronaldo for 'disrespectful and unprofessional' conduct in 2-0 Tottenham win 

Fans react angrily towards Cristiano Ronaldo
Fans react angrily towards Cristiano Ronaldo's behavior

Manchester United supporters were left shocked by Cristiano Ronaldo's decision to walk down the tunnel before full-time during the Red Devils' Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday.

The superstar forward was an unused substitute during United's impressive 2-0 victory over Spurs as they moved to within a point of fourth-placed Chelsea.

Following a frustrating first half, United took the lead shortly after the break when Fred's deflected strike went past Hugo Lloris. Manchester United secured the victory after Bruno Fernandes scored from an excellent curled effort in the 69th minute.

However, the team's performance on the pitch was eclipsed by Cristiano Ronaldo stealing the headlines towards the end of the match. Before the full-time whistle, the Portuguese icon was seen walking down the tunnel.

The striker's facial expressions suggested he was incredibly unhappy about not being used, despite his team securing a vital victory. Cristiano Ronaldo has endured a frustrating campaign so far, in which he has started just two of Manchester United's 10 Premier League games.

Ronaldo failed to attend the club's pre-season tour and has netted just twice in 12 appearances this term and clearly does not feature in Erik ten Hag's plans. The Dutch manager's style of play doesn't seem to suit the forward at the moment.

After seeing Ronaldo exiting the game before the final whistle, supporters took to Twitter to slam the five-time Ballon d'Or winner for his unprofessional behaviour:


Alan Shearer believes Cristiano Ronaldo has created a 'difficult situation' at Manchester United

The Portugal captain made it clear in the summer that he had no intentions of staying at Manchester United and the latest incident suggests he could be heading towards an exit.

Premier League's all-time record goalscorer Alan Shearer said after the game (via BBC Sport):

"I understand Cristiano Ronaldo's frustration but look at the bigger picture and the team put in a really good performance. The manager had a big call to make and it turned out to be the right decision.
"It is a difficult situation, we are talking about best player in the word, the best player we have ever seen. It is tough but makes things difficult for the manager."
