Ronaldo was not used as a substitute during the game, but in the 89th minute, he charged out of the tunnel.
He might have even left the stadium before the game was over, according to Sportsmail.
Ten Hag didn’t give an answer when he was asked if Ronaldo had been given permission to leave.
The United manager simply said:-
‘I have seen him, but I didn’t speak to him. I will deal with that tomorrow, not today. We are celebrating this victory.
‘I don’t pay attention today. I will deal with it tomorrow. I want to keep the focus on the team and a magnificent performance from all 11 players and the subs who came on. It was a squad performance.’
It is the second time Ronaldo has left a United game without permission under Ten Hag. In July, the 37-year-old exited Old Trafford at half-time after being substituted in a pre-season friendly against Rayo Vallecano.
Ten Hag described the incident as ‘unacceptable’ but pointed out that Ronaldo wasn’t the only United player who went early.
