 AS: 'Ronaldo leads the group of players dissatisfied with coach Rangnick'

The Portuguese superstar has a bad relationship with the current MU interim coach.

According to AS, coach Ralf Rangnick is without support from the pillars of Manchester United, led by Cristiano Ronaldo. "This group of players is dissatisfied because they think that the German military leader is not qualified to lead MU," AS reported.

Conflict with Ronaldo has also been expressed by coach Rangnick in recent interviews. MU's interim coach criticized CR7's performance after the player went through a series of 6 games without scoring for the first time since 2009.

Under coach Rangnick, this superstar has only scored 2 goals after 10 appearances in all competitions, a modest number compared to when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was still in office (9 goals in 13 games).

Before the match against Southampton, coach Rangnick publicly asked Ronaldo to score more goals. After witnessing the forgettable performance of the superstar born in 1985 in the 25th round of the Premier League, the leader continued to express his dissatisfaction about Ronaldo's missed phase in front of an empty goal. According to coach Rangnick, this is MU's best chance in the match.

Not stopping there, this military leader also announced that he would buy more strikers in the summer transfer window of 2022. This means that he does not trust Ronaldo's ability.

According to AS, these actions added to Ronaldo's discomfort with coach Rangnick. "Irreversible rift" is the phrase that the Spanish newspaper used to talk about the relationship between the two characters who received the most attention at Old Trafford at the moment.

Ronaldo is unhappy, but he has no intention of leaving Old Trafford. The Portuguese superstar and his family have settled into life in the UK. The eldest son Ronaldo Junior has also signed a contract with the "Red Devils" U11 team. This player will patiently wait for the arrival of a new strategist in the 2022/23 season.

For an ordinary player, it is normal to miss six consecutive matches at the age of 37, but Ronaldo is under great pressure.

British media also reported that PSG wanted Ronaldo to replace Kylian Mbappe. However, no offer has yet been sent by the capital team to Old Trafford. The future of the Portuguese captain will only be decided after the 2021/22 season ends. In the event that MU cannot find a new captain more suitable than Rangnick, CR7 is likely to leave the club.

On the morning of February 16, MU will face difficulties again when encountering Brighton in the match for round 18 of the English Premier League. "Seagull" is standing in the top half of the rankings with an annoying pressing game. In the context that Cavani has not recovered from injury, Ronaldo is likely to continue to lead the "Red Devils" attack.
