Cristiano Ronaldo has been informed by Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick that he should expect to be subbed off more frequently than usual in the team’s and other players’ interests.
Manchester United defeated Brentford 3-1 in a Premier League match, with Anthony Elanga, Mason Greenwood, and Marcus Rashford all scoring.
After being replaced by Marcus Rashford in the 70th minute, Ronaldo was enraged and questioned the manager’s decision.
After the Portuguese demanded, “Why me, why did you take me off?” Rangnick was seen whispering to him and attempting to calm him down.
After the game, Rangnick spoke with the media about this saying, “When we scored the third goal I said exactly that to him. I said, ‘look, Cristiano, I understand that you are still ambitious and you want to score yourself.
“Maybe in a couple of years when you are a head coach yourself and hopefully you’ll make the same decision, be in the same role that I was in today after 75 minutes.
“For the future, it’s just important for any player that we win games, this is first.
“Having players like Marcus and Anthony Martial on the bench, why should I not make use of that? That’s why I would always do it[Sub off Ronaldo]again in a situation like that.”
