Cristiano Ronaldo ignores Gary Neville

Neville was critical of Ronaldo's actions last week, and it seems the legendary player listened to every word he said on television. Neville said the Portuguese star should leave the club, according to the Daily Star.

"When you look at whether Cristiano should be selected, Manchester United are better without him - and Erik ten Hag knows that. The only thing that Cristiano and the club can do is get together in the next week and end the relationship."

Ronaldo emerged from the tunnel during a live broadcast and greeted former United striker Louis Saha and ex-Liverpool star Jamie Redknapp, before completely ignoring Neville, according to Sky Sports.

Neville later made a cheeky comment.

"Think I'm off the Christmas card list!"
