The next mistake by ManUnited in the Premier League and one was really served: Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo (36)!
For 57 minutes, CR7 stewed on the bench in a 1-1 draw against Everton. After his substitution, the “Red Devils” collect the compensation. After the 0: 1 against Aston Villa, the second home mistake in the league in a row.
In a rage, CR7 storms into the catacombs after the final whistle and leaves Old Trafford in no time at all. Because he also knows: This is not how the title will work.
One who disagreed with Ronaldo’s departure is Gary Neville, 46, former United defender: “I watched the game and saw him leave the field. I can’t say that I thought that was a good thing. “
The first Ronaldo trouble after his return
Neville, who won the United Champions League in 1999, added: “Is Cristiano angry when he doesn’t play? Yes. Is Cristiano mad if he doesn’t score? Yes. Is Cristiano really angry when his team doesn’t win? Naturally. We already know everything. He doesn’t have to show us that again. “
Ex-national player and BT expert Jermaine Jenas (38) explains CR7’s ambition: “He wants the championship title, he understands the importance of such points, he is seething. It’s a blessing for the coach, he’ll be pissed off. ”The next few weeks will show whether that is really a blessing.
In addition to Ronaldo, world champion Paul Pogba (28) was also not in the starting line-up – to the incomprehension of the fans. This criticized United coach Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer (48) heavily on social networks.
Solskjaer defends his starting line-up after the game: “During a long, long season you have to make decisions and regulate the players’ workload. The decision was the right one for me today. “
The Norwegian has to deliver after the international break. The tasks in the Premier League and the Champions League will definitely not be easier – ManUnited also made a mistake at Young Boys Bern (1: 2).
In just under two weeks (October 16) they will go to Leicester, then Liverpool will go to Old Trafford (October 24). If he is fit, CR7 will very likely be in the starting XI. Otherwise the mood in Manchester could quickly change …
