The Portuguese didn’t greet his former team-mate as the latter worked as a commentator on the pitch ahead of the duel against West Ham. CR7 reports to his detractors.
Cristiano Ronaldo pays the bills. Every weekend, the Manchester United star gets the English press talking. Either because he leaves the field of play before upset not to play, because he does not add minutes or simply because he is involved in controversies with former teammates who now serve of commentators.
It’s that if a few months ago he denied the greeting to Jamie Carragher in full transmission, now it was his former partner Gary Neville’s turn. With the approach of the duel against West Ham, in the match which marked the return to possession of Cristiano Ronaldo, the footballer came to greet the commentators of the official broadcast of the duel. He skipped Gary Neville.
It is that the luso seems to be attentive to all the criticisms against his person. Neville commented throughout the week that Cristiano and Manchester United should part ways as soon as possible and called the Portuguese attitude ‘unacceptable’.
“Cristiano Ronaldo will have to go somewhere else and play every week because he cannot accept being on the bench” said the former England national team. “Finish it this week or take a break to go to the World Cup and then finish it. But it has to stop (…) Manchester United are better off without him and Erik ten Hag (manager of this team) the knows. The only thing Cristiano and the club can do is meet next week and end their relationship.”
The words bothered Cristiano Ronaldo. Because of this, the striker didn’t greet his former partner and only managed to greet Micah Richards, the usual commentator. The latter questioned the former English national team on the snub of his partner.
“He looks at everything… I think if I had 570 million followers on Instagram, Gary Neville wouldn’t mind me.” ironically condemned the commentator and former partner of Cristiano.
