In response, Man United manager Erik Ten Hag has also dropped Ronaldo from the squad to face Chelsea on Saturday.

Cristiano shared a statement on his socials after he was dropped from squad and banned from training with the first team.

The situation has certainly gotten ugly. There is strong possibility of Cristiano leaving United in January transfer window.
