Manchester United won't feature Cristiano Ronaldo in their next game, the club announced a day after the disgruntled Portuguese star left the bench early during a Premier League match.

"Cristiano Ronaldo will not be part of the Manchester United squad for this Saturday’s Premier League game against Chelsea," read a statement from the Premier League club Thursday. "The rest of the squad is fully focused on preparing for that fixture."

The 37-year-old said in a statement that he had acted in the heat of the moment and that he'd remain committed to the club.

"Right now, I just feel that I have to keep working hard in Carrington, support my teammates, and be ready for everything in any given game," Ronaldo wrote on Instagram. "Giving in to the pressure is not an option. It never was. This is Manchester United, and united we must stand. Soon we’ll be together again."
