Man Utd fans boo Ronaldo before Brighton kickoff

Manchester United fans booed Cristiano Ronaldo before kickoff against Brighton today.

The 37-year-old was left on the bench by manager Erik ten Hag having spent the summer pushing for a move away, and a section of supporters gave him a frosty reception when he first appeared.

On social media, fans were split over the crowd's response.
