Cristiano Ronaldo’s big sister has launched a new attack on Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag by claiming ‘Karma exists’ and warning him: ‘God never sleeps’
The Old Trafford striker’s chief cheerleader Elma Aveiro did not name the Dutchman in her fresh tirade. But she left followers in no doubt about who she was referring to by claiming her footballer brother was being shown “disrespect” in an angry social media post.
The Madeira-based designer added after her Karma message alongside a photo of her grim-faced younger sibling sat on the bench in his United strip: “Don’t do what you don’t want done to you” before her ominous ‘Deus nao dorme’ sign-off - Portuguese for ‘God doesn’t sleep.’
She also described Ronaldo, axed from the United squad for Saturday’s clash against Chelsea after his tantrum against Spurs, as her “great hero and love of her life”, gushing: “I will be with you until death parts us.”
Elma, who earlier this week wrote: ‘Too late’ as she shared a news article indicating a possible January exit for ten Hag, also posted gushing fan page social media articles about her brother claiming he had been humiliated by his manager in the Spurs match.
Her new attack came amid reports the five-times Ballon d’Or winner could face a £1million fine for storming down the tunnel and leaving Old Trafford before full-time. The 37-year-old dad-of-five, who has started just twice in the Premier League under ten Hag after top-scoring with 24 goals in all competitions last season, was an unused sub in the game.
Piers Morgan has blasted the Dutchman as ‘pathetic’ for making Ronaldo warm up on the sideline but then not bringing him off the bench, although it has since been reported the Portuguese international was told to go on by his manager and refused. Cristiano’s family have regularly used their social media to support him in recent years.
United released a statement on Thursday evening revealing their decision to remove the forward for the squad that will tackle Chelsea on Saturday. It read: " Cristiano Ronaldo will not be part of the Manchester United squad for this Saturday’s Premier League game against Chelsea. The rest of the squad is fully focused on preparing for that fixture."
Ten Hag has also banished Ronaldo from training with the rest of the squad for the remainder of the week. The forward is also set to be slapped with a significant fine.
When asked for his thoughts on Ronaldo's strop, Lisandro Martinez gave a neutral answer. "I didn't see anything," he said at full-time. "I don't know. I only enjoy with the people, we won, and that's important."
