After storming off before the end of Manchester United's win over Spurs on Wednesday, he has been dropped from the team for Saturday's game.

Fred and Bruno Fernandes scored in the second half to give United a 2-0 victory over Spurs and avenging their loss to them in the last meeting.

There was a public display of frustration as the 37 year-old walked down the Old United touchline and up the tunnel before the final whistle.

Speaking after the game, the United boss said he would deal with the player on Thursday.

"Cristiano will not be in the Manchester United squad for this Saturday's game." The rest of the squad is focused on getting ready for that game.

Man Utd reaching end of the road with Ronaldo?

Sky Sports has a football reporter.

Even though he had a tendency to grab the headlines, not even his departure could detract from the progress made by the players.

When United perform to such a high level, as they did against Spurs, his frustration is unwarranted.

From start to finish, United took a poor Spurs side to task, demonstrating their continued adaptation to Ten Hag's methods with an attacking display as comprehensive as any seen at Old United in the past.

Had it not been for the heroics of Hugo Lloris, the score would have been just as emphatic as it was for United's 28 attempts on goal.

It's clear that the club's transition to life without him is already under way, as evidenced by the games they've won without him. That will be speeded up by his petulance.

Ten Hag and Ronaldo
Dutch football expert Marcel van der Kraan discusses the approach that Erik ten Hag will take to the situation surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo

Sky sports has a Dutch football expert on it.

I don't believe it will be a calm discussion. When he was in Holland, he made sure who was in charge was known.

He's a very stable manager, he's never been up or down in all his roles, it's always been the same. His success comes from that location.

It's the first time in his career that he's dealt with a player of that caliber. He has never had a star act against him. In the summer, he said thatRonaldo was his most important player. He said he would always be there if he was fit.

He missed pre-season and Ten Hag said it was crucial. There's only one way to go and it's the way of the gods. Today's conversation will be about this.

Ronaldo walk-off 'hugely disrespecful'
Broadcaster Sophie Nicolaou and the Guardian's Jonathan Liew have their say on the future of Cristiano Ronaldo after the striker walked down the tunnel before the end of Manchester United's victory over Tottenham

He told us last night that he would deal with it tomorrow. He has confronted people before. Two years ago, Noa Lang, a Dutch international, gave him a mouthful on the pitch in a big cup game.

"Ten Hag came off the bench and made very clear that was not accepted by him, shouted to him on the touchline in front of every television camera so everybody could hear it" I decide what happens here and it's not your game. That was what it sounded like. It shows that it's all about the team.

Unless there is a big financial reason for the club to keep him, I don't think he'll be part of the squad.

It's not the first time: Ronaldo's previous early exits

Since he came back to the club 14 months ago, he has walked out on the team.

The unused substitute was seen walking down the touchline and up the tunnel at the end of the game.
