Before the Premier League meeting between Manchester United and West Ham Sunday (1-0), Cristiano Ronaldo went to greet Sky Sports consultants on the grass. The Portuguese, however, deliberately ignored Gary Neville, whom he particularly criticized recently.
Jimmy Carragher must now feel less alone. After a little more than two months of deliberately ignoring the former Liverpool defender, Cristiano Ronaldo did it again on Sunday before the Premier League match against West Ham (1-0). Except that, this time around, it’s a former glory of Manchester United that he has shrugged off.
Before kick-off, the five-time Ballon d’Or decided to salute the Sky Sports consultants at Old Trafford Park. After a warm hug with Louis Saha, a teammate of the Red Devils between 2004 and 2008, CR7 also greets Jamie Redknapp (former Liverpool). In the back, Gary Neville is still waiting.
Neville: The team is better off without him
The former Manchester United defender may have directed his last criticism of Ronaldo, with whom he played between 2003 and 2011. A few days ago, after the Portuguese bloodshed against Tottenham, Neville had already paid his former teammate.
The Englishman said: “The team is better off without him and Eric ten Hag knows that. I think the only thing the club and Cristiano can do is come together over the next week and put an end to this relationship. I think we have to move on. Cristiano has played hundreds of games in the past 10 years and the players have had to Sit on the bench and watch it. Now it’s his turn,” he added, in a very tense discussion with Roy Keane. Which obviously did not satisfy Cristiano Ronaldo at all.
