Reactions after Cristiano Ronaldo leaves the stadium before the final whistle

Cristiano Ronaldo leaves the stadium (Old Trafford) before the final whistle during Manchester United against Rayo Vallecano.

Cristiano Ronaldo returned to duty for Manchester United against Rayo Vallecano, but it appears like he left Old Trafford before the final whistle.

Ronaldo has been absent from United’s preseason to this point due to rumors that he wants to leave the team.

The Portuguese superstar was seemingly given a good reception when he first emerged out of the tunnel to warm up at the Threatre of Dreams.

He played the first 45 minutes of the friendly before being replaced by Amad Diallo at halftime – the only substitution Erik ten Hag made at the break.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner looked lacking in match fitness during his 45 minutes – perhaps not too surprising considering most of the players had already played several friendlies before this one.

His replacement, Diallo, opened the scoring within a few minutes of being on the pitch.

However, United finished their pre-season campaign with a draw after Alvaro Garcia equalized with half an hour remaining.

But whether Ronaldo saw the second half is up for debate.

That’s because it’s being claimed that he left the stadium before the final whistle.
