Cristiano Ronaldo did not appear in the Manchester derby, which caused a lot of controversy. Is it just an injury or is it something else?
Namely, almost the whole world was expecting the Portuguese football player in the starting lineup. Mostly because of the quality and experience that Ronaldo brings.
However, before the match, there was information that Ronaldo had an injury, which Ralph Rangnik tried to explain at the press conference.
– I have to trust the club’s medical service. The doctor informed me on Friday that Cristiano Ronaldo could not train due to a problem with his hip flexor, it was the same on Saturday and because of that, he was not part of the team.
The United coach does not hide that he was frustrated with that information, but that he believes that the injury is not fake.
– What good is it if I tell you I’m frustrated? That is a fact, if football players tell a doctor that they are injured and cannot play, I have to accept that as a coach. I can’t make a player play if he thinks he’s not available due to injury.
What is striking is that Ronaldo was not even in the stands to cheer on his teammates, and immediately after the game, information appeared that the Portuguese had traveled to his homeland?!
Allegedly, Ronaldo is in a quarrel with Rangnick and due to a huge disagreement with the German, he just decided to leave both the team and the Island…
However, the truth of this information has not been confirmed, so it will be very interesting to see if Ronaldo will be on the field on Saturday when Tottenham arrives at “Old Trafford”.
