Erik ten Hag: “I will deal with that tomorrow, not today. We are now celebrating this victory”.

There was a game, a magnificent game for Manchester United, the story shouldn't be Ronaldo walking off. [No he doesn't make the story], not for me, not for me." While the Arsenal legend refused to make a big deal of the Ronaldo incident, Evra felt people shouldn't jump the gun as it's unclear as to what happened. He said: "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. "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." Manchester United overcame Tottenham 2-0 at Old Trafford on Wednesday, courtesy of second-half goals from Fred and Bruno Fernandes. With 19 points from 10 games, the Red Devils are in fifth in the Premier League table, while Spurs are up in third with 23 in 11.
