EPL: Unacceptable, you made it all about you – Lineker, Micah Richards slam Ronaldo

Gary Lineker and Micah Richards have hit out at Cristiano Ronaldo after he stormed away during Manchester United’s win over Tottenham at Old Trafford before full-time.

Ronaldo responded to being left on the bench as an unused substitute by disappearing down the tunnel in the 89th minute.

United boss, Erik ten Hag, has already said he will deal with the 37-year-old’s latest behaviour.

But Ronaldo was strongly criticised by Lineker and Richards on Match of the Day following the incident.

“We all know what a great player he has been but walking off the pitch as a substitute two minutes before the game has finished…I’m sorry, that is unacceptable. That is poor,” Lineker said.

Richards added, “It is so poor. For someone we have looked up to for so long, one of the greats of the game.

“To do that when your team is winning, making it all about him. It is unacceptable.”
