Bruno Fernandes says Cristiano Ronaldo's early Old Trafford exit is for Man United to deal with 'on the inside' as he insists the club - and his Portugal team-mate - are more focused on winning matches

Bruno Fernandes has insisted the most important thing for Manchester United is that the team wins despite the ongoing drama around Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo was dropped from the Red Devils' matchday squad by manager Erik ten Hag for the game against Chelsea after it was revealed that he refused to come on as a substitute in the team's win over Tottenham Hotspur in mid-week.

The Portuguese striker then left pitchside before the final whistle, leading to a lot of criticism over his attitude at the club.
