Manchester United news: Cristiano Ronaldo received selection warning as Glazers outline sale demands
Manchester United news: Cristiano Ronaldo received selection warning as Glazers outline sale demands: Erik ten Hag had a rough start at Manchester United, but the former Ajax chief has been active and running.
United has made a come-back with four consecutive wins. They received back-to-back defeats at the hands of Brighton and Brentford. On the other hand, Ten Hag’s team is up to the fifth position in the Premier League rankings. They achieved this ranking because of Sunday’s impressive 3-1 triumph against Arsenal.
United’s performance against the Gunners has sparked positivity. The optimism is because the club has turned a corner ahead of their Europa League opener against Real Sociedad. Gunners had won every single one of their league games before the weekend.
Ronaldo received a selection warning
Cristiano Ronaldo received a warning from Garth Crooks. The warming reflects the idea to get used to warming the bench in the wake of Marcus Rashford’s impressive two-goal haul against Arsenal.
Ronaldo quickly re-established himself as United’s talisman after he chose to return to the club. He scored 24 goals in all competitions. However, he began the new campaign playing second fiddle to Rashford. Ronaldo expressed his desire to quit the club and miss pre-season.
Rashford will be carrying the No 9 role in Ronaldo’s absence. He notched three goals and two assists in six games. And Crooks believes that Ronaldo might struggle to reclaim a central berth ahead of the rejuvenated Old Trafford academy graduate.
Phil Jones and Brandon Williams have no place in Manchester United’s Europa League squad. Quick reports emerged claiming that the duo was kicked out of the club’s first-team dressing room. This omission made way for six new summer recruits.
Jones and Williams might not be featuring under Ten Hag anytime soon. And it appears that the Dutchman might not offer the pair the opportunity to get first-team minutes in Europe.
Highly-rated youngsters Facundo Pellistri and Alejandro Garnacho have grabbed their place in the 25-man squad.
