Man United's loss saw the end of their Premier League record of going a staggering 29 unbeaten run away from home.

The 36-year-old was fuming at the full-time whistle and wanted to go straight back to the dressing room.

However, he was stopped by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who pointed to the away supporters.

Ronaldo then turned and clapped at the travelling supporters before making his way to the dressing room.

It is not the first time Ronaldo has shown his discontent this season and was upset after not securing a win for Man United.

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the 36-year-old was in no mood to stay on the pitch after his side's disappointing 1-1 draw against Everton at Old Trafford as he walked straight down the tunnel.

Ronaldo was left on the bench during the Saturday, October 2 encounter, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer surprisingly dropping him from the starting lineup.

The Portuguese was expected to lead the attack against the Toffees after scoring a last-gasp winner for the Red Devils against Villarreal in the Champions League earlier in the week, but Ole thought he needed rest to freshen up.

Anthony Martial was instead started up front, with the Frenchman repaying the faith in him by scoring United's opener and his first of the season in the first half of the clash.

However, Andros Townsend stunned the homes side with an equalizer in the second half as the tie ended in a 1-1 draw.
