Manchester United have confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo has been dropped from the squad to face Chelsea on Saturday.
Ten Hag To 'Deal' With Ronaldo After Early Old Trafford Exit
Ronaldo was an unused substitute in United's 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday evening, but he grabbed the headlines after he was seen leaving the bench before the full-time whistle.
United coach Erik ten Hag revealed on Wednesday that he would "deal" with Ronaldo on Thursday, with the club now confirming he has been dropped from the squad, seemingly as a result of his actions.
Statement:
Cristiano Ronaldo will not be part of the Manchester United squad for this Saturday's Premier League game against Chelsea.
The rest of the squad is fully focused on preparing for that fixture.
The 37-year-old has only made two starts in the Premier League this season, with new reports suggesting the 37-year-old refused to come on before heading down the tunnel.
