Manchester United boss, Ralf Rangnick, has told Cristiano
Ronaldo to get ready to be subbed off more often than before for the interest
of the team and other players.
The Premier League clash between Manchester United and
Brentford ended with a 3-1 victory for the Red Devils with Anthony Elanga,
Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford appearing on the score sheet.
Ronaldo was furious after he was substituted for Marcus
Rashford in the 70th minute and questioned the manager’s decision to take him
off.
Rangnick was seen whispering to the Portuguese and trying to
calm him after he was demanding, “Why me, why did you take me off?”
Speaking with reporters after the game, Rangnick explained,
“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.”
