Cristiano Ronaldo will not play for Manchester United again.
That is the view of former Aston Villa and Liverpool midfielder Stan Collymore, who believes the Portuguese superstar’s recent decision to refuse to play and run out of the Old Trafford tunnel is enough to end his United career. .
Despite putting in his best performance of the season against Spurs in the form of Antonio Conte on Wednesday night, Ronaldo, who saw his team-mates go two-nil winners, didn’t stick around to celebrate.
Running out of the tunnel, the 37-year-old made his feelings clear. Since then, it has also been reported that he refused to be substituted on the pitch, despite his manager requesting his services, and the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s actions have not impressed Collymore.

“I’ve been saying it for a while now: Man United should terminate his contract and give him a free transfer in January after the World Cup,” the former Premier League player said in an exclusive interview.
“If it was Manchester United, before Ronaldo left for Portugal, I would tap him on the shoulder and say ‘thank you for everything you’ve done, good luck in Qatar, but you’re not coming back’.
“Either way, I don’t think I’ll play for Man United again. How can he and the club come back from this? How can a player, who also earns a lot, who refused to fulfill his duties and then left in a rage, be allowed to stay at the club? What example does that set for others?
