Summer is over for Manchester United and the three consecutive victories they have had (two in the Europa League and one in the Premiership) were interrupted by a car accident. 0-0 draw at home to Newcastle. The highlight of this game was the show of Cristiano Ronaldo: the Portugais he started, scored a goal that was disallowed and walked away when Ten Hag decided to replace him..
Christian replaced.
Ronaldo does not start from 13 August. (against Brentford; it was 12 games later) and this Sunday he returned in 11. He tried, fought and even scored a goal, but it was useless.. Things are not going well for CR7 in a season that has started, gone and stayed, and still doesn’t know how to get back on track. He seems lethargic in his kick and uncomfortable in his gestures.
Lisandro Martinez in action.
Manchester, which also had Lisandro Martinez from the beginningfound a goal at the beginning of the second half when Ronaldo deceived the Newcastle Pope goalkeeper on a free-kick, but it was disallowed because no one had put the ball into play. CR7 and teammates protested and warned that another player had moved the ball earlier, but nothing happened: 0-0.
Ronaldo’s Avivada: goal disallowed
The second time that Cristiano was the protagonist of the game was at 28 ‘of the ST, when the DT of United decided to eliminate him in the only change he made the whole game. (Entered Rashford.) There, Ronaldo looked at the sign that had his number on it and his face has changed. She clear anger, words in the air, the “no” with the head. and sit on the bench.
Cristiano’s anger when he was killed:
As for the game as a whole, United came closer to losing it than winning it. De Gea was saved more than once by post. Newcastle had the best flow of play and ideas to reach the opposing goal, but they lacked goals and luck. Manchester remain fifth with 16 points, one more than Newcastle, but that position could change as the game progresses.
