Manchester United striker, Cristiano Ronaldo has come out to break his silence after storming out of Old Trafford shortly following his refusal to come to be brought on against Tottenham on Wednesday, October 19.

He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, sometimes the heat of the moment gets the best of footballers, and he just wants people to know that he remains a respectful professional.

Ronaldo added that giving in to pressure will continue to never be an option for him.

His words, “I haven’t changed. I’m the same person and the same professional that I’ve been for the last 20 years playing elite football.”

“I started very young, the older and most experienced players examples were always very important to me. Therefore, later on, I’ve always tried to set the example myself for the youngsters that grew in all the teams that I’ve represented. d respect has always played a very important role in my decision making process.”

“Unfortunately that’s not always possible and sometimes the heat of the moment gets the best of us.”

“Right now, I just feel that I have to keep working hard in Carrington, support my teammates and be ready for everything in any given game. Giving in to the pressure is not an option. It never was. This is Manchester United, and united we must stand. Soon we’ll be together again.”
