Jamie O’Hara, a former star for Tottenham, criticized Cristiano Ronaldo for acting impolitely during Manchester United’s 2-0 victory over Tottenham.
After being relegated to the sidelines for the duration of the match at Old Trafford, Ronaldo made an early escape down the tunnel.
Before the end of the game, the 37-year-old returned to the locker room after failing to enter the game from the bench.

Cameras saw the legendary goal scorer stumbling down the tunnel after Fred and Bruno Fernandes scored.
The Portuguese international was described as a “shame” by O’Hara, who said, “Ronaldo walks down the tunnel in the 89th minute – it’s a disgrace!” He spoke with talkSPORT.
O’Hara believes that the Red Devils’ performance last night was their best so far this season and questions why Ronaldo acted in such an inappropriate manner.
And the tunnel at Old Trafford is virtually the entire length of the field away from the dugout. How inconsiderate of you to your teammates is that? Additionally, the former Premier League great.
It’s not acceptable, especially on a night like tonight — this is a significant victory for Manchester United.
Ronaldo, who netted 24 goals for Manchester United in all competitions last season, has only scored twice for the Red Devils this year, mostly as a result of his limited playing time.
Ten Hag has demoted him to a bench role, which he has passionately resisted, but the Dutch coach has made it clear that he is putting together a team for the long term.
