The fixture came days after Ronaldo was left out of the squad to play Chelsea because he refused to come on as a substitute against Spurs. After the Chelsea game, Neville — who shared a dressing room with Ronaldo for seven years — said: 'We know him, we love him but he can't accept not being the star man. He's going to have to leave, that's it.' Ronaldo responded: 'To listen as ex-colleagues or team-mates criticise you, when they only see one point of view. It's easy. "It's easy to criticise, I don't know if you have a job in television that they must criticise to be more famous. I really don't understand it. 'It's hard when you see people who was in the dressing room with you criticising that way.' When asked if Neville had used his name to get attention, he responded: 'I think they take advantage of that because they are not stupid. 'I'm the number one followed guy in the world. It's not by coincidence.' Neville was mocked in a tweet by fellow Sky Sports colleague Jamie Carragher after Ronaldo ignored him but greeted other pundits Louis Saha and Jamie Redknapp at Old Trafford.
