  • Cristano Ronaldo appeared to snub a fan who wanted a photo in the Europa League clash against Sherrif Tiraspol
  • A video doing rounds online shows the fan looking stunned by the snub
  • Ronaldo, 37, scored his first goal of the season as United cruised to a 2-0 win

Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo appeared to refuse to take a photo with a member of the medical staff as he walked down the tunnel at halftime during Manchester United’s clash with Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League.

The Red Devils were looking to bounce back from their opening day shock defeat to Real Sociedad as they travelled to Chisinau to face the Moldovan champions.

And they gave the perfect response as Jadon Sancho opened the scoring with a brilliant cut and finish to round off a beautiful team move.

Ronaldo then made it 2-0 in the first half on the penalty spot after Diogo Dalot was felled in the box for his first goal of the season.

At half time, however, Ronaldo was clearly not in the mood for photos as he completely snubbed a member of the medical staff at the Zimbru Stadium.

In a video doing rounds online, the lady attempted to stop Ronaldo to perhaps get him to take a picture but the 37-year old barely have her a glance as he continued his strut down the tunnel.

She was then pulled back by another member of the medical staff but it was clear the snub left her quite shocked.

This is not the first time the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has come under scrutiny for his behavior towards fans.

Last season, he courted controversy after appearing to slap a phone out of a 14-year old boy’s hand.

Jadon Sancho dedicates goal to young fan

Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho celebrated with the personalized shin-pad given to him by a young Manchester United fan.

Sancho continued his new-found form in the Europa League when he opened the scoring as Manchester United sealed a 2-0 win over Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday night.

After he broke the game's deadlock, Sancho held out the mini shin pads that were gifted to him by a young fan prior to the game in a form of dedication and appreciation to the kid.
