Cristiano Ronaldo was in no mood to hang around, as he headed straight down the tunnel, after Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Everton at Old Trafford.
The Portugal international was left on the bench for the game, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer explaining before the start of the game that he needed to freshen up his team after their exploits in midweek.
Ronaldo had scored a late winner for the Red Devils against Villarreal on Wednesday night and had to settle onlybfor a role on the sidelines on Saturday.
Anthony Martial put United a goal ahead in the first half, but Andros Townsend’s equaliser means Solskjaer’s team are now without a win in their last two Premier League matches.
Although he came on for Edinson Cavani in the 57th minute, Ronaldo was unable to inspire his side to victory like he did in midweek.
The 36-year-old stormed off straight down the tunnel as soon as the full-time whistle went, visibly frustrated and muttering to himself.
‘Disappointing the result, I understand that, we’ve all been there,’ former Manchester United player Rio Ferdinand told BT Sport of Ronaldo’s actions.
‘He scored five in five, he’s a man in form who wanted to continue that vein in form and get goals – shoot his team to victory on a day like today.
‘I understand frustrations and it comes out sometimes like that, [Paul] Pogba was straight down the tunnel after him, both probably disappointed.’
