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 the 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.
Furious, he stormed into the catacombs after the final whistle and left Old Trafford in no time at all. Because he also knows: This is not how the title will work.
He gets support from United legend Rio Ferdinand (42). Ferdinand on “BT Sport”: “He is disappointed with the result. He has also scored five goals in the last five games. He wanted to expand that and shoot his team to victory – I understand his frustration. With the depth in the squad, United still has to win against a weakened Everton. Nine games not played to zero is pathetic from United’s point of view. “
Ex-national player and BT expert Jermaine Jenas adds: “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 are definitely not going to be any easier – ManUnited also failed against Young Boys Bern (1: 2).
In two weeks it goes to Leicester, then Liverpool comes to Old Trafford. If he is fit, CR7 will definitely be in the starting line-up. Otherwise the mood in Manchester could quickly change.
