And for former Chelsea centre-back Franck Leboeuf (1996-2001), the five-time ballon d’or was ‘wrong’ and disrespectful’ in what he did.

“It is (wrong) for me. It’s not professional with all due respect and the fact I appreciate the player and what he achieved in his career but it’s not professional and disrespectful towards the club”, he told ESPN.

“You have to stay, you have to show respect to the other players, to the fans that came, you still belong to the club, you signed for it, you have to play for them, didn’t make any mistakes, they want to keep you so the only thing you have to say is at least sit on the bench and wait until the end of the game.” 

Meanwhile, Manchester United reacted on saying the see ‘no issue’ in Ronaldo leaving the stadium before the end of the game as other players did the same, as per Sky Sport.
