Cristiano Ronaldo is still renegade on the Manchester United bench despite the fact that with Portugal he showed great physical condition. On this occasion, the Portuguese personally witnessed one of the most painful goals in an English city derby and, furthermore, was highly criticized for also being the absence of one of the most important players in the club’s history.
After seeing how Erling Haaland and Phil Foden scored a hat-trick each, the followers of the “Red Devils” could not explain how the Dutchman Erik Ten Hag did not look for a way to give Cristiano Ronaldo entry for at least generate danger. Even so, the Manchester United coach defended himself against his decision and reiterated that the Portuguese did not deserve to be part of that humiliation.
“I did not put him out of respect for him and for his career the. We were 4-1. And Anthony Martial needed minutes after his injury”, commented Erik Ten Hag.
Despite his decision not to put the Portuguese to play a single minute in a game that was lost from the first minute, due to the steamroller that Manchester City presented to the Spaniard, Pep Guardiola.
Likewise, the Portuguese’s new substitution also continues to show that he does not have the Dutchman’s confidence and that despite showing his respect for his career, it seems highly unlikely that Cristiano Ronaldo will play most of the season’s games.
In this way, it should only be expected that it will take place in the upcoming matches of the Premier League and of the same to the Europa League where the Portuguese scored his first goal on the last date via penalty.
