It seems that the relationship between the German Ralph Rangnick, the interim coach of Manchester United, and the Portuguese star, Cristiano Ronaldo, reached its worst state, before the United match against Manchester City in the 28th round of the English Premier League, which ended with City winning 4-1, as the interim coach excluded the “Don”. From the team’s list for this match, on the pretext that he was injured, and justified his decision that the team doctor informed him last Friday that Ronaldo suffers from an injury in the upper thigh from the back, and that he cannot train with the team and remained in this condition on Saturday, which is why he was excluded from the group.
Rangink’s decision opened fire on him and put him under accusation, especially by Old Trafford fans who love “Don”, and also raised the astonishment of his teammates, and Ronaldo’s sister Katia Aveiro wrote through her account on Instagram saying: Ronaldo was 100% healthy and his exclusion was for technical and tactical reasons from Temporary coach.
And the newspaper “Sun” reported that when Ronaldo learned that he was not in the group, he did not meet the team on Saturday evening on the eve of the match, but rather traveled directly to Portugal.
The newspaper added that Ronaldo’s teammates were shocked by his absence and believed that he would join them before this important match. The newspaper pointed out that Ronaldo felt completely ready to participate in the match, and proved his readiness in the last training before the match. That is why he was very angry at his coach’s decision not to include him in the team’s squad.
However, some sources close to the player stated that Ronaldo traveled urgently to Portugal in order to check on his injury and treat it there!
And the newspaper concluded its report by saying: What a weekend in which the relationship between Ronaldo and Rangnick reached its lowest level.
