EPL: Lisandro Martinez comments on Ronaldo walking out against Tottenham

Manchester United centre-back, Lisandro Martinez, has claimed that he didn’t notice teammate Cristiano Ronaldo heading down the tunnel during the Red Devils’ Premier League 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday.

Ronaldo is rumoured to have refused to come on as a late substitute in the contest at Old Trafford.

The Portugal captain was seen entering the tunnel before full-time and reportedly left the stadium altogether as well.

However, Martinez was asked about Ronaldo after the match and the former Ajax star denied seeing the five-time Ballon d’Or winner walk down the tunnel, stressing that he was busy celebrating Man United’s win over Tottenham.

“I didn’t see anything. I don’t know,” Martinez said (via Mirror).

“I only enjoy with the people, we won, and that is important.”

Meanwhile, Ronaldo has since been left out of Man United’s travelling squad to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
