Manchester United great Gary Neville slammed Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo following Ronaldo's benching for the team's World Cup match against Switzerland Tuesday.
"Well what happened at United, the suggestion was, it was because [Erik] Ten Hag was trying to make a move on him, he's trying to establish his authority. This is a manager [Santos] who's got an unbelievable relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo for eight years.
"And there are a lot of fans of Cristiano Ronaldo who aren't willing to tell him the truth. I think he does need to listen to the truth, that it's becoming a little bit of a scruffy end." Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal on the bench prior to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Round of 16 match between Portugal and Switzerland at Lusail Stadium Dec. 6, 2022, in Lusail City, Qatar.
Neville said it wouldn’t surprise him if Ronaldo entered the game, which he did in the 72nd minute during a 6-1 win over Switzerland. "The petulance, the stomping around, the sulking, it’s got to stop because it doesn’t reflect well on him at all," Neville added.
