Cristiano Ronaldo bizarrely runs straight to Man Utd dressing room after being subbed off in 3-2 win over Arsenal

CRISTIANO RONALDO bizarrely run straight to the Manchester United dressing room after being subbed off in the 3-2 win over Arsenal.

The Portuguese superstar, 36, had scored twice – the 800th and 801st goals of his glittering career – to hand the Red Devils their first Premier League win in a month.

But there was some confusion over his substitution late in the game.

Ronaldo signalled to the bench that he wanted to come off, sparking some concerns that he had picked up an injury.

However, rather than limping off, Ronaldo headed straight for the tunnel – with cameras picking him up running towards the United dressing room.

After the game, Ronaldo wrote on social media: “Our minds are already set on the next game, there’s no time to celebrate!

“Today’s win was very important to get back on track, but there’s still a long road to go until we reach our destination…

“Congrats to all my team-mates, great spirit tonight!”

Carrick hailed Ronaldo after the win – especially his attitude in the wake of his high-profile decision to drop him to the bench for the 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

He said: “I know he wasn’t happy I left him out but he came on and changed the game and made a difference for us.

“Cristiano has been unbelievable for us. It wasn’t a big deal for us, he was on board with it, the way he was around the group and came on.

“He’s incredible, the way he goes about his business. There was no drama.”

After Emile Smith Rowe’s ridiculous opener, United hit back just before half-time through Bruno Fernandes.

The home side then took the lead with Cristiano Ronaldo sweeping in a Marcus Rashford cross to score the 800th goal of his glittering career.

But Martin Odegaard levelled for the Gunners just two minutes later, before turning villain, giving away a penalty for a clumsy foul on Fred.

Ronaldo stepped up and blasted down the middle, giving United their first Premier League win in a month.

But there was yet more drama to come at Old Trafford, as Michael Carrick announced he would leave the club with immediate effect during his post-match press conference.

‘NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME TO LEAVE’

United legend Carrick said: “My time at this great club will always rank as the best years of my career.

“When I first signed over 15 years ago, I never in my wildest dreams could have imagined winning so many trophies and I will certainly never forget the fantastic memories both as a player and as a member of the coaching team.

“However, after a lot of thought and deliberation, I have decided that now is the right time for me to leave the club.

“I want to place on record my thanks to all of the players and a special mention goes to the backroom staff, working long hours with such a great group of people has been a real pleasure and I have made some long-lasting friendships.”
