Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronald has issued a statement in response to his banishment from the first team which was raised with him by Erik ten Hag.
A flurry of reports from reliable journalists has emerged explaining how the Portuguese has been exiled by Ten Hag for his disgraceful behavior last night against Tottenham.
As a result of bursting into the tunnel and even leaving Old Trafford before the final whistle, the 37-year-old received a penalty.
He has been dropped from the squad to face Chelsea at the weekend.
In addition to this, Ronaldo will be forced to train alone. It is not clear if he has been or will be fined by the club.
In response to this development, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner wrote on his Instagram account: “As I have always done throughout my career, I try to live and play with respect towards my teammates, my opponents and my coaches. That has not changed. I have not changed.
“Respect has always played a very important role in my decision-making process. I started very young, the examples of the older and more experienced players were always very important to me”.
“That is why, later on, I have always tried to set an example myself to the young people who grew up in all the teams I have represented. Unfortunately, that’s not always possible, and sometimes the heat of the moment gets the better of us.”
In the sincere apology, Ronaldo added that he would continue to work hard at Carrington.
This strongly suggests that he has accepted his exile and will serve his time graciously until the Dutch boss allows him to return to the senior team.
He stressed that he will not give in to pressure and will support his teammates as best he can.
He completed his impassioned statement by calling on fans to stick together and vowing to play in front of them again soon.
