Patrice Evra’s Bizarre Theory on Why Cristiano Walked out Before Full Time in Man United’s Win Over Spurs

• Patrice Evra had an interesting theory on why Cristiano Ronaldo went to the dressing room before full-time on Wednesday
• Ronaldo, 37 was an unused substitute and was visibly discontent during United’s 2-0 win over Tottenham
• Erik Ten Hag said after the game that he would deal with Ronaldo later

Patrice Evra has theorized that Cristiano Ronaldo could have been going through something unrelated to Manchester United’s emphatic win over Tottenham, hence his antics on Wednesday, October 19.

Ronaldo was dropped off the starting XI by Ten Hag, who preferred Marcus Rashford up front for the clash.

The Red Devils dominated their rivals on the night, and eventually made their superiority count thanks to second-half goals by Fred and Bruno Fernandes.

But the win was partly eclipsed by Ronaldo’s antics, as the United forward was seen making his way down the tunnel with four minutes to go.

As reported by Express Sport, Evra and Thierry Henry, who were on punditry duty on Wednesday, refused to read too much into the situation.

In fact, Evra seemed to subtly come to the defence of Ronaldo, suggesting the forward might have departed before full-time for completely different reasons.

"I think everyone is different, I want to stay on the performance, it's not to protect Cristiano or whatever. We don't know if he even said to Ten Hag, I'm going in and we're going to make a story just showing him walking,” he said as quoted on Metro.

"Maybe he said to Ten Hag I'm going inside to do some treatment so I don't want to find any excuse but I want to be focused more on the performance of Man Utd, we need to stop talking every day about Cristiano."
