Cristiano Ronaldo looks fuming as he leaves Carrington after training alone following Man Utd axe

CRISTIANO RONALDO looked fuming as he left Carrington after training alone on Friday with his Manchester United career all but over.

The Portuguese forward, 37, could have played his last game for the club after refusing to come on as a late substitute against Tottenham.

He then stormed down the tunnel and left Old Trafford before the full-time whistle of Wednesday’s win.

That proved the final straw for many because, as revealed by SunSport, he has NO more allies at United and is wanted out by most – including Erik ten Hag.

Now the boss is forcing him to work on the pitches on his own after axing him from the squad to face Chelsea on Saturday.

Ronaldo drove in alone in his Bentley Flying Spur at 8.40am this morning followed by his security guards.

He had another day away from his team-mates but may be allowed to link up with them again after the trip to Stamford Bridge.

Stoney-faced Ronaldo, wearing a white hoody, was then spotted exiting the training ground less than three-and-a-half hours later at 1pm – in which time Ten Hag confirmed he declined to come on at Old Trafford and slammed his problematic forward.

Ronaldo will also be fined £720,000 – two weeks’ wages – for defying the manager.

Ten Hag now wants either the player’s contract, that runs to the end of the season, ripped up or for the Portugal ace to be dumped in the January transfer window.

HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON FOOTBALL

Ronaldo had already angered some fellow United stars by trying to force a summer exit before no suitors came forward.

The Portugal captain, who has only started the Premier League clashes against Brentford and Newcastle this season, issued a statement on Thursday night but did not apologise for his strop.

He wrote: “As I’ve always done in my career, I try to live and play respectfully towards my colleagues, my adversaries and my coaches.

“That hasn’t changed. I’m the same person that I’ve been for the last 20 years playing elite football and respect has always played a very important role in my decision-making process.

“I started very young and the older and most experienced players’ examples were always very important to me.

“Therefore, later on, I’ve always tried to set the example myself for the youngsters in the teams I’ve represented.

“Unfortunately that’s not always possible and sometimes the heat of  the moment gets the best of us.

“Right now, I have to keep working hard in Carrington, support my team-mates and be ready for everything in any game.

“Giving in to the pressure is not an option. It never was.

“This is Manchester United and united we must stand. Soon we’ll be together again.”
