'Ronaldo a Manchester United menace, just like Pogba' - Reactions after Cristiano is dropped for Chelsea fixture

Just like Pogba, he is a menace and a destabilising force in the dressing room. He should leave ASAP. Club is bigger than him. - Dairo Saheed Ololade

The end is near just like it happened to Pogba, it’s even coming quickly than we envisage. Humility and selflessness is the key. - Vincent Brian

Nobody is bigger than his employer, Ronaldo is full of arrogance that is why Lionel [Messi] is rated above him any time any day, is good to be humble no matter your status, your achievement, your riches, your popularity in life. - Barry J Akharia

CR7 didn't do well with his attitude, it's disrespectful, he has been having game time and have been unproductive in the games he has played. He should realise he is 37 and have passed his prime and give room for the young stars. He can't be there forever. - Jude Nwogwu

The condition is getting bad... I blame Erik ten Hag because Ronaldo wanted to go but he said he is important and you are playing a big player like CR7... I believe CR7 biggest regret in his football career is going back to Man United. - Xeph France Jnr

Erik Ten Hag knows what he is doing. He feels disrespected by Ronaldo when preseason was on. Ronaldo didn't show up. He asked for excuse to attend to family issues but never spoke to Ten Hag. Now Ten Hag is giving it to him back. I like Ronaldo but he disrespected Man United, fans and coaches. Coaches will be scared to sign him. Ronaldo is not humble and matured in handling issues. This is where Messi is better than him. He is not a boy anymore but a man. - Chizzy Faith

How can the coach continue to put Ronaldo on the bench? The most disrespectful part was he tried to put him on in the 89th minute against Spurs. For what? We are talking about Cristiano Ronaldo here. He's not finished yet but the coach is treating him as if he is finished. He might be aged but still far better. So why treat him disrespectfully and always using preseason as an excuse. Ronaldo deserves more than he's getting from Manchester United. - Motolani Emmanuel

Ronaldo wanted to leave, but Ten Hag blocked the exit. Now he's not playing him. Has he planned to humiliate CR7 by not allowing him to go? How on earth will he play him as a sub at 89 minutes? That was disrespectful enough. He can't destroy the reputation CR7 has built over the years. - 'Segun Tugbiyele

I have absolute and tremendous respect for what CR7 has achieved in world football. Sometime in life, you face this kind of situation, CR7 need to be calm and manage this situation better. Age is no longer on his side and hasn’t been top notch this season. He should keep fighting to get into the team.

He really doesn’t need this attitude. His reputation is at stake. You can’t really complain if the team is playing well without you. Casemiro started on the bench at the beginning but he has fought his way into starting XI. - Saibu Olarleykan

Man United and Ten Hag or whatever his name is just want to spoil Ronaldo's reputation, because he never achieved what Ronaldo has achieved in his playing career. He is so jealous of him. Let Ronaldo go and join another promising team. You will see another version of him. - Prince Owomide Michael Titilola

Ronaldo has passed his prime and this fact he refused to know. He can't be playing for ever. The days he can single handedly win a match is past. Let him realise this is the better for him and his club. If he wanted to be playing regular football he must move to America, China or the Saudi Arabia leagues which are less competitive. - Olubode Adesomoju

The coach is very disrespectful. I personally supported CR7 for his action. Absolutely true, and if he don't need him in the team just let him go, don't forget he is on his way to sign for Man City but Sir Alex Ferguson and other club legends convince him to come back to Man United. He come to show his loyalty and respect for the club, he save the club several times last season, but now you are showing him disrespect and disloyalty, which kind of people are you🤚all support for CR7👑 - Islam Salah

Some Man United fans are ungrateful. The biggest mistake he made was returning back to Man United, when he had better chance of joining Man City. Even Messi had low impact for PSG last season but he was not treated like this. You can't be keeping Ronaldo on the bench and expect him to be happy. Leaving the field before fulltime against Tottenham was the best way he could show his feeling. - Niyi Melody

This is a good discipline and this is the kind of manager we need at Man United. He knows how to deal with anyone as [after the Spurs game], he said I will deal with that [Ronaldo walk out issue] tomorrow and today [Thursday] he keeps his words and take the action against disrespectful behavior thanks ETH. - Abba Ibrahim Muhammad

Stand with the manager! Regardless of the situation, Ronaldo should always support his team mate as a role model and not storming down the tunnel. - Moki Arap Jefa

Erik ten Hag should just let Ronaldo go but he fears that if another club in the Premier league buys Ronaldo then Ronaldo will be his worst nightmare and demolish Man United when facing them and that will demolish his career as a manager. - Tshepo Daniel Sibanyoni
