Speed finding out Cristiano Ronaldo has been dropped from the Man Utd squad is comedy gold

Speed discussed the drama involving Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo with Mark Goldbridge on a recent livestream - it was chaos.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner refused to come on as a substitute in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, storming down the Old Trafford tunnel before the final whistle.

United manager Erik ten Hag has reacted by making Ronaldo train alone. He will also not be involved in Saturday's trip to Chelsea.

Naturally, it's sent shockwaves across the footballing world and one man, in particular, isn't happy with the news. Speed, a popular internet personality and the biggest Ronaldo fanboy ever, was told the news by United Stand presenter Goldbridge on Thursday. You can check out a snippet of their chat, with strong language, below:

"Who the f**k is this Erik ten... who is that?" Speed asks not knowing it's the Red Devils boss. Goldbridge then explained the 52-year-old has the full backing of United fans after a strong start to the season, including wins over Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs.

The two online stars met during last month's Sidemen charity football match and quickly became friends. Goldbridge was manager of the YouTube Allstars and Speed was one of his players.

He substituted the teenager during the game, who was furious with the decision. Goldbridge claimed that decision was similar to the one ten Hag made with Ronaldo.

Speed then said: "Bro, why should a bald man tell Ronaldo what the f**k to do? Do you know who Ronaldo is? You know who he is, right? He's the king.

"Nobody should tell him what to do and that's what it is bro. Nobody should tell Ronaldo what the f**k to do."

The American then claimed Ronaldo had a doctor's appointment for his son, which is untrue.

"He had a doctor's appointment for his son so he had to leave the game early. He had an excuse and you're laughing," Speed said as Goldbridge smiled along.

The Portugal international didn't have a doctor's appointment to attend, but released a statement on Thursday apologising for his behaviour.

Ten Hag confirmed Ronaldo refused to come on during a press conference on Friday, stating: "What the talk - if you ask about that - is between Cristiano and me.

"The statement is also clear, I think. He remains an important player in the squad.

"I am the manager, I am responsible for the culture here and I have to set standards and values and I have to control them.

"In the team, we have values and standards and I have to control that."

United have the chance to overtake fourth place Chelsea in the table if they win at Stamford Bridge this weekend.
