Gary Neville thinks that Manchester United should end their relationship withRonaldo, but Roy Keane thinks that the player is not a bad person.

After refusing to come on as a late substitute against Spurs, as well as walking out before half-time during a pre-season friendly against Rayo Vallecano, he was left out of the starting XI for the first game of the season.

If you want to go to the World Cup, you have to end it this week. "This has to come to an end."

Without him, they score more goals and get more points. Without him they are a better team.

According to Ten Hag, he doesn't expectRonaldo to leave the club during the January transfer window and that he expects him to stay at the club for the rest of the season.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says Cristiano Ronaldo refused to come on as a substitute against Tottenham.

There was no other option for me. The first time, he left before his teammates got into the changing room. That's not right.

"As always, he can score goals and he has value for us. We need him, it’s clear and you see it also in this game. He can finish off, that’s quite obvious. "I think I have said enough about that situation. Let’s focus on this game, it was a good game for my team and I have to compliment my team.

"If you can deliver this after four games in ten games and then dictate this first half, the second half we were really well organised and you fight back, I think that has to be the focus."

"Ronaldo's main problem at the moment is that he's not playing as well as he's been, so Manchester United are better without him."

The only way the club can end the relationship is if they get together in the next week or two. The club have to move on because of the character and quality of the player.

"Ronaldo will have to leave Manchester United because he doesn't want to be the star man in the team."

Roy Keane, Cristiano Ronaldo
Roy Keane gives his thoughts on Cristiano Ronaldo following Wednesday's incident against Tottenham, where the forward refused to come on the pitch.

In what was widely considered to be United's best performance of the season, goals from Fred and Bruno Fernandes gave them a deserved 2-0 victory over Spurs, but that wasn't good enough for the man in the middle.

Sky Sports' Keane sympathizes with his former teammate but is unsure if there is a way back for him at the club.

Paul Merson, Erik Ten Hag, Cristiano Ronaldo
Paul Merson believes Cristiano Ronaldo's actions during Manchester United's game against Tottenham Hotspur has made Erik ten Hag's job much easier.

From the player's point of view, he's had enough. He's losing his mind. It has been happening over the last few weeks.

I'm going to fight back. He has flaws and feels frustrated that he isn't getting opportunities and has had enough. The players at Manchester United have done worse things than he has.

'Ronaldo has to take his medicine'

After the Spurs game, everyone said it was Manchester United's best performance in a long time. Absolutely garbage. They were awful. When United beat Spurs at home last season, they got a hat-trick fromRonaldo, so he is more than capable of making a difference.

Jaap Stam believes Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo leaving a game early was unacceptable and says Sir Alex Ferguson would not have tolerated it within his side.

He has to be punished. There is a way back for him. I don't know. If he was laughing on the bench and not paying attention, I would be worried. I think he's interested in what's going on. He is not a bluffer in this game. He is interested in playing. He needs to be a great player. He was the leading scorer for United last season despite not being the player he was 10 years ago.

They should have asked the manager when he was going to put the player on. Did you see it late in the game? I don't think that was a smart move. He needs to take his medication. He should not have done that. Can he return to the team before the World Cup? I don't know what it is.

"I wouldn't say that Man United are better without the best player in the world," said the Irishman. Are you going to hang your hat on either player?

He is 37 years old and still wants to be the best. He has scored a goal in every game for Man United. They got hammered against Man City without him and lost to two other teams, but celebrated like they won the league. Man United is in the top five.

They thought they had won the European Cup after beating Spurs. Last year, they beat Spurs. I don't care if he's young or old, he'll score for me.
