The only player confirmed to have left the ground who was in the match day squad is Ronaldo.Figured this should have its own thread seeing as it wasn't just Ronaldo

All players dropped from the match day squad v Brighton?
Fernandes, Dalot, Martial.Ronaldo is the obvious one but who else left?
This is correct.The only player confirmed to have left the ground who was in the match day squad is Ronaldo.
Its not gotten to this though, beside only Ronaldo was in the matchday squad.feck them all. If it's players vs Ten Hag. Hopefully the club don't make the same mistake as with Jose and Ralf.
Dalot was literally right next to himThis is correct.
Was he in the matchday squad?Dalot was literally right next to him
Ok good point. Its on Ronnie. I think we should sell him anyway.Its not gotten to this though, beside only Ronaldo was in the matchday squad.

The other players weren't in the squad.Dalot was literally right next to him
Was Dalot in the match squad? Not sure, but if he was, he should be reprimanded as well.Dalot was literally right next to him
Not in the squad. Literally a spectator that day.Dalot was literally right next to him
Didn't realize, I didn't see that match. Cheers.The other players weren't in the squad.
Is this what they used to do? If not, why would they think it was ok?Fernandes, Dalot, Martial.
Yeah, that has me a bit confused too. I think it’s possible he was trying to defuse the whole “ETH vs Ronaldo” shit show in the media if he acknowledged that Ronaldo was the only player from the matchday squad to leave early. Saying “there were others” makes his comments feel like less of a personal attack on Ronaldo.In the interview he seems to say there were multiple players who left early.
However, given that several players weren't at OT at all, it seems a bit odd if ETH expected those who weren't in the squad (but attended the match) not to leave early.
Ronaldo is in another category: he was in the squad, and as such ETH would - of course - expect him to stick around unless he was given permission to leave (which he wasn't).
So - is he actually referring to other match squad members (other than Ronaldo) leaving early?
Dalot was literally right next to him
Was Dalot in the match squad? Not sure, but if he was, he should be reprimanded as well.
God i hope Ronaldo leaves UTD.

Ronaldo was the only player in the squad who left at half-time. He was the only player substituted at half-time. It would be extremely stupid for any of the other players in the match day squad to leave at half time when they could be required in the second half.Read that it was Ronaldo, Martial, and Dalot. I wouldn't go as far as dropping them because that hurts us more than it hurts them. I'd just make it clear for them that it wasn't acceptable and move on. No need to start the season with so much drama.
He was definitely trying to defuse it without creating more Ronaldo drama. Ronaldo was the only one subbed off. The substitutes aren’t just going to suddenly go home at half time.Yeah, that has me a bit confused too. I think it’s possible he was trying to defuse the whole “ETH vs Ronaldo” shit show in the media if he acknowledged that Ronaldo was the only player from the matchday squad to leave early.
They came to watch as spectators though, they played the previous day in a different country.Is this what they used to do? If not, why would they think it was ok?
I have a feeling the non-playing Utd players who were just watching the game were probably given permission by a club official (coaches possibly) that they could leave early if they wished. Ronaldo probably took it upon himself to leave too. That’s where the 2 conflicting stories may have developed from.Hopefully it's not a thing for those who weren't part of the squad. But either way - they should get a talking to. Disappointed in Bruno, martial and Dalot if true, but not surprised as the 2 Portuguese guys can easily be swayed by Ronaldo as they idolize him, and Martial is good friends with Bruno, so that's how that probably happened. Hopefully though they understand they fecked up and then hopefully Ten Hag leaves out Ronaldo from the squad entirely.
Yes - that's what I suggested in the other thread.Saying “there were others” makes his comments feel like less of a personal attack on Ronaldo.
