Breaking news : Ronaldo storms straight down the Tuchel and had misunderstandings with carrick .
Cristiano Ronaldo stormed down the tunnel in frustration after Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.
The Portugal international started the game
on the bench after being dropped by United's
caretaker manager Michael Carrick.
Ronaldo did make an appearance in the
64th minute of the game but struggled
to make an impact and vented his frustration
after the final whistle.
The 36-year-old was visibly frustrated with
United's performance during the game and
was captured shouting at his team-mates
on the pitch.
Ronaldo was also booked in the 90+2
minute of the game for arguing with the referee
after Scott McTominay went down injured.
However, it was after the final whistle that
highlighted Ronaldo's frustration. The
Portugal international refused to shake hands
with the Chelsea players and ignored the
United fans.
Instead, he headed straight for the tunnel
and muttered to himself as he made his
way to the changing rooms at Stamford Bridge.
This is not the first-time Ronaldo has stormed
down the tunnel - having previously left the
pitch in frustration following United's 1-1 draw
against Everton.
Ronaldo had been dropped to bench for
the game and watched on as Anthony Martial
provided the opening goal of the game.
However, United struggled to find a winner
after Andros Townsend scored a second
half equaliser to end the game 1-1.
Manchester United's fixture against Chelsea
marked just the second time Ronaldo has
not started in the Premier League this season.
Speaking about this team selection before
the game, Carrick said: 'A few tweaks and
changes from the other night, to change
things up a bit.
'Cristiano is probably our standout name,
but it's just game plan, ideas. I had a good
chat with Cristiano actually, he was great,
and we've decided to go like that today.'
Former United captain Roy Keane was left
'surprised' by Carrick's decision, telling Sky
Sports: 'Ronaldo's one of the great players.
Carrick has a plan. Ronaldo's come back
to United to play these games.
'
He's a big player for the big occasions,
his stats against Chelsea aren't great but
I'm surprised with the decision to leave him
out.'
United fans were also shocked by the
decision to start Ronaldo on the bench given
the importance of the clash against the
Premier League leaders going into the weekend.
According to me Carrick did a right dicideci to bench Ronaldo because Chelsea were one of the high pressing teams in the league and Ronaldo will never manage a game like that if my Carrick I would have bench him for full time and wait maybe Arsenal game
