A heavy defeat at the time, then a controversy to prolong the displeasure. Widely beaten (1-4) on the ground of City, Sunday, Manchester United was deprived of Cristiano Ronaldo, whose absence due to injury made people talk. “We talk about Ronaldo being a machine and getting injured very rarely… I don’t believe that”ex-Red Devil Roy Keane told Sky Sport.
Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick answered him. “My doctor came to me on Friday morning before training and told me that Cristiano Ronaldo couldn’t train due to problems with his hip flexor and the same was true on Saturday. That’s why he couldn’t be part of the group., said the German technician. However, this choice was criticized, in particular by the sister of CR7, Katia Aveiro, who sowed doubt by liking an Instagram post which challenges this decision. “Ronaldo was 100%, he didn’t just play for technical and tactical reasons”reads the caption of this post.
