Manchester United's Fred said he was 'surprised' by Cristiano Ronaldo's early exit from their recent match against Tottenham Hotspur, but added the 'important thing' was that the situation had been diffused.
Ronaldo left early from the Spurs game after a dispute with Erik ten Hag by refusing to come on as a substitute, and the Red Devils boss promptly dropped the Portuguese star.
However, the 37-year-old returned to the Man United side to score against FC Sheriff before getting the assist for the only goal as they beat Real Sociedad 1-0 on Thursday.
