It wasn’t perfectly clear what he did say, but the main assumption from fans on social media was that he was claiming he wasn’t finished.
It will be interesting to see if Ronaldo does come out and explain what he says, as it was clear that he was trying to give a message to the fans, by the way he glanced to the camera.
The game was Manchester United’s last home match of the season, and with new manager Erik ten Hag coming in next season, it will be intriguing to see whether the Dutchman believes Ronaldo should have a place in his squad.
