Cristiano Ronaldo at the center of criticism for spitting that would have fallen on his Manchester United teammate

More problems for Cristiano Ronaldo in England. A new incident has been added to the goalscoring drought, the bad collective moment of Manchester United and the harsh criticism from the local press. A video is circulating on social networks in which the Portuguese apparently spits on his partner Anthony Elanga.

After the bitter draw against Southampton (1-1) at Old Trafford for matchday 25 of the Premier League, the players from both clubs said goodbye on the pitch. Then, as the official signal corresponding to the BT Sport chain shows, the Portuguese appears on the scene surrounded by opponents.

Cristiano Ronaldo is located near Anthony Elanga, who walks away from the place. As the 19-year-old leaves the frame, the top star of the ‘Red Devils’ expelled saliva and the camera angle leaves the impression that fell on the academy graduate of the cast of ‘Theatre of Dreams’.

What’s more, Elanga doesn’t even notice what happened behind him. The truth is that Cristiano Ronaldo has been harshly questioned. Regardless of whether the spitting was accidental or deliberate, users on social networks called for a review of the English Federation to punish the number 7 of the ‘Red Devils’.

“I’m sure the FA has seen Ronaldo spit on Elanga. And I expect a deserved punishment. That’s really unnecessary deliberate or not.”says a comment on the Internet. “This needs an explanation, did Ronaldo really spit on Anthony Elanga? Did United play so badly?, expressed another. And so, more demonstrations pointing to the captain of Portugal.

English press charge against Cristiano Ronaldo

Being left out of the call or starting among the substitutes has been the topic of conversation on English television. The journalist Richard Keys, from the Bein Sports channel, focused on the Portuguese’s attitude every time he goes through situations like this. So, the communicator proposed that he leave Old Trafford soon if he wants to have more continuity.

“My own take on that is that he should go now. I’ve been of the opinion all season that I think he’s part of the problem, not the whole problem.”, expressed the communicator in the international chain. Later, Keys recalled that Jorge Mendes, agent of ‘CR7’, spoke with the club to speed up his departure.

“The other night, when he ran out of the tunnel on Turf Moor, having lectured everyone about being the leader he thinks he is and that young people don’t do the kind of things he does… how does he encourage Is that the team spirit in the locker room?he added in relation to the attitude of Cristiano Ronaldo.

So, to close, Keys suggested to Cristiano Ronaldo that, if he wants to add more games, he should think about signing for a lower-ranking club and even ironically mentioned one of the promotion in England. “Okay, then go and sign for Bournemouth and you’ll play every week.”concluded the experienced journalist.
