In the post-match press conference, Ten Haag added: “I don’t pay attention to it, I’ll deal with it tomorrow. I want to keep the focus on the team. “It was great from all 11 players. I have to correct myself. It was also a performance from the substitutes who came in. Once again, it was a team performance. I think what we saw is 11 players who defend and 11 who attack. I was pleased.
“Ronaldo thinks he is bigger than the club”

Former England and Premier League defender Danny Mills said Ronaldo’s behavior is reprehensible if true. “If Ronaldo has done that, it’s an absolute disgrace,” Mills told Soccer Special. “This is disrespectful to the team, the coach, the fans. “They’re winning 2-0 – what complaint can he have? If they lost 2-0, it wouldn’t feel right, but I would kind of understand. “He clearly believes he’s bigger than the football club… It’s a selfish act not to get involved. “He knows very well that everyone will see him walking to the end of the line at Old Trafford, it’s not like he can sneak out. “I feel sorry for United and Ten Hag because it will all be about Ronaldo instead of a great performance against a top team.”
