Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo addressed the fans on a social network, explaining his departure from the bench at the end of the match of the 12th round of the championship of England with Tottenham (2-0) a few minutes before the final whistle.
On Thursday, Manchester United did not include the Portuguese in the list of players to prepare for the upcoming Premier League match with Chelsea. Also, there were reports in the media that the football player was suspended from work with the general group of the team and he could terminate the contract with Manchester United.
Throughout my career, I try to treat my colleagues, opponents, and coaches with respect. It hasn’t changed. I haven’t changed. I am the same person and the same professional as I have been for the last 20 years. Respect has always played a very important role in my decision-making process.
I started at an early age, and for me, the examples of older and more experienced players have always been very important. Therefore, in the future, I always tried to set an example for the youth who were in all the teams that I represented. Unfortunately, this is not always possible, sometimes passions get the better of us.
Now I feel like I have to keep working hard at Carrington, support my teammates and be ready for anything in any game. Giving in to pressure is not an option. It never happened. This is Manchester United and together we must endure. Soon we will be together again,” wrote Ronaldo.
Ronaldo, 37, has made 12 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring two goals and providing one assist.
