Ronaldo was not used as a substitute during the game, but in the 89th minute, he charged out of the tunnel. He might have even left the stadium before the game was over, according to Sportsmail.
When asked if Ronaldo had been given permission to leave, Ten Hag remained silent. The manager of United only stated, “I saw him, but I didn’t speak to him. I won’t deal with that today; I’ll do it tomorrow. We are rejoicing in this triumph.
“Today, I don’t pay attention.” I’ll take care of it tomorrow. I want to maintain the spotlight on the team and the outstanding effort put forth by all 11 players as well as the substitutes who were added. It was a group effort performance.
Ronaldo has left a United game against Ten Hag twice now without getting permission. The 37-year-old left Old Trafford at halftime in a preseason friendly against Rayo Vallecano in July after being substituted.
Although Ten Hag called the event “awful,” he also noted that Ronaldo wasn’t the only United player to leave the game early.
