Former Manchester United striker Dion Dublin was furious after Cristiano Ronaldo's behaviour at the end of victory over Tottenham.

Dublin says he would want to get Ronaldo round the throat if he was United manager after the forward stormed down the tunnel before full time of the Red Devils' 2-0 win over Tottenham on Wednesday night.

Ronaldo, who was an unused substitute in the game, left his position on the bench early. There's claims he may have even left the stadium before full time.

"I'd probably want to get him around the throat and say 'what are you doing?'" he said.

"It's out of order. I love Ronaldo, I've got a lot of respect for him. I think he should be getting more minutes and think he can make a difference more than most. However, the game's still going on, your team-mates are still playing.

"It basically says "I don't really care". For me in the dressing room it says 'I'm off' and 'I don't really care about my team-mate'. I know he does and I know he's passionate for playing for Man United, but tonight I think he's massively in the wrong.

"Myself and Tim (Sherwood) are very old school about this. We have very strong values about togetherness and how we would deal with it in the dressing room would be very different to how they deal with it now, however, I don't like a lack of respect for your team-mates."
