Cristiano Ronaldo in fuming Al Nassr bench spat during latest post Man United reality check

Raging Cristiano Ronaldo launched a scathing rant at Al-Nassr's coaches with the struggling Saudi outfit trailing 1-0 at half-time to Al-Wehda in the King Cup of Champions semi-final.

The 38-year-old left Manchester United by mutual consent last year and landed a bumper payday by leaving the Premier League for a move to the Middle East, and while the legend of European football may be scoring for fun for Al-Nassr, the short spell hasn't been straightfoward for the veteran forward. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was involved in a furious post-match spat after his side were held to 0-0 draw by by Al-Feiha in the Saudi Pro League, and the bad blood is now boiling over onto the pitch.

As Ronaldo and his Al-Nassr teammates trudged off the pitch at the break during the cup clash Ronaldo was seen trudging towards the bench before the TV cameras caught the Portuguese international in a heated debate with the coaching team. The spat failed to inspire a comeback in the second half as 10-man Al-Wehda reached the showpiece final.

Al-Nassr are currently without a manager after parting company with previous boss Rudi Garcia earlier this month after less than a year at the club. Former Al-Nassr youth coach Dinko Jelicic is currently in interim charge of the club.
