 "I will deal with that tomorrow, not today.

Ronaldo sat on the sidelines as his United teammates overcame Antonio Conte's squad with goals from Bruno Fernandes and Fred. With over four minutes of added time still to play, the Portugal international made his way down the tunnel but chose to leave the stadium rather than go to the locker room.

Now, as reported by UK football site The Athletic, Cristiano Ronaldo is set to be separated from the rest of Erik ten Hag's squad, due to his refusal to enter the game as a substitute. The decision was taken by Erik ten Hag as a preliminary step while the situation is dealt with.

Additionally, the Portugal star won't be a part of Manchester United's trip to Chelsea on Saturday night. A statement publish by the Old Trafford club reads:  "Cristiano will not be part of the Manchester United squad for this Saturday's game against Chelsea. The rest of the squad is fully focused on preparing for that fixture." The way Manchester United see it, Erik ten Hag is in charge of maintaining order in the first team, and the club fully supports him.

Could this be the last time we see Cristiano Ronaldo in a Manchester United shirt?

During a pre-season game with Rayo Vallecano, the Portuguese was replaced at halftime and was subsecuently seen leaving the stadium."I certainly don't condone this. This is unacceptable, for everyone. We are a team and you have to stay until the end", said Erik ten Hag at the time.
