Cristiano Ronaldo responds to criticism for storming off after Man Utd draw with Burnley

Cristiano Ronaldo has posted a message on social media after being criticised for storming down the tunnel after Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Burnley.

The Portuguese icon went straight to the changing rooms at Turf Moor after the Premier League game on Tuesday, not clapping the travelling fans as per tradition.

Ally McCoist expressed his disappointment at Ronaldo on Wednesday morning, with Gary Neville previously criticising his former team-mate on the issue.

"I do feel he should be acknowledging the fans, that should always be done," said McCoist.

"The travelling fans in particular, certainly in my experience, can be the more vocal of your team's support and they travel long distances and spend an awful lot of money.

"I can understand that sometimes the overall disappointment of defeat [or a draw, in this instance] getting to you and just wanting to get off the park.

"However, I think you should always go over to your travelling support and give them a thank you."

Former Premier League goalkeeper Shay Given added: "Ronaldo's a superstar, and he doesn't look overly happy at the moment.

"He stormed down the tunnel last night again; that doesn't sit well with away fans who've travelled to Burnley on a wet and cold night.

"It's not difficult to go and clap your own fans, so there's a lot of issues there at the minute."

Tuesday evening's result leaves United fifth in the Premier League, one point behind West Ham in fourth with a game in hand.

Arsenal and Tottenham, however, are just three points behind the Red Devils. The Gunners have two games in hand on Ralf Rangnick's side, while Spurs have three.

Ronaldo appeared to indirectly respond to the criticism on Wednesday afternoon, posting a picture of himself
