Watch: Cristiano Ronaldo creates drama; dashes through tunnel four minutes before final whistle in United’s 2-0 victory over Tottenham

Cristiano Ronaldo has once again become the center of the conversation after his team Manchester United thrashed Conte’s invincible Tottenham Hotspurs.

However, the discussion around the player is not for his contribution to the team. In fact, the red devils did not even require the Portuguese striker’s services. And that is exactly what caused all the ruckus.

The 37-year-old striker was left frustrated during his side’s encounter against Tottenham. It’s very well-known fact that Ronaldo wants to play more football. Hence when he was not brought on to the field against Tottenham, the player got irate.

As a result of this, he was seen running into the tunnel in frustration even before the referee blew the full-time whistle for the match.

Bruno Fernandes, and Fred were the two scorers for the Manchester United.
