Former Premier League defender, Danny Mills has criticized Cristiano Ronaldo’s attitude in Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Tottenham on Wednesday night.
Recall that Ronaldo could not hold his frustration any more after he was an unused substitute as he stormed down the tunnel, even though there was still a chance that he could be subbed on.
In a chat with Sky Sports, Mills stated that the Portuguese international has disrespected the club.

“It’s a little bit of a selfish act to go, ‘oh actually I’m not involved’, he knows full well that everybody’s going to see it.
“You know what it’s like at Old Trafford, you’ve got to walk all the way down the touchline, not just sneaking down at the halfway line. He knows everyone’s going to watch him.
“And I feel sorry for United now, and Ten Hag because that’s an outstanding result against a top side and all it’s going to be about is Ronaldo.
“It’s an absolute disgrace, I think it’s incredibly disrespectful to the team, to the manager, to the fans.
“They were winning 2-0, what complaint can he have? If they were losing 2-0 it still wouldn’t be right, but I would sort of understand it. He clearly thinks he’s bigger than the football club.”
Style of play
A versatile attacker, Ronaldo is capable of playing on either wing as well as through the centre of the pitch, and, while ostensibly right-footed, is very strong with both feet. Tactically, Ronaldo has undergone several evolutions throughout his career. While at Sporting and during his first season at Manchester United, he was typically deployed as a traditional winger on the right side of midfield, where he regularly looked to deliver crosses into the penalty area.
In this position, he was able to use his pace and acceleration, agility and technical skills to take on opponents in one-on-one situations. Ronaldo became noted for his dribbling and flair, often displaying an array of tricks and feints, such as the step overs and so-called ‘chops’ that became his trademark;[ he has also been known to use the flip–flap.

Abeg Cut the GOAT CR7 some slack

The man is a legend of the sport and at Manchester United but his attitude is awful. They should release him and let him go. No one is bigger than the club and a great club for that matter with great history!
