Breaking news: Ralf Ragnick reveals if Ronaldo will be in his squad for Manchester United clash with burnley here is what he said ....
Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to start for
Manchester United against Burnley tonight
(December 30). The Red Devils will take
on Sean Dyche's side in a Premier League
encounter at Old Trafford.
Manchester United will be keen to
return to winning ways, having drawn their
last game. Ralf Rangnick's side needed
a second-half equalizer from substitute
Edinson Cavani to rescue a point against
19th-place Newcastle United.
Cristiano Ronaldo himself had an extremely
quiet outing against the Magpies. The
Red Devils marksman failed to impose
himself on the game and was largely
ineffective. Ronaldo, along with Bruno
Fernandes, also received plenty of criticism
for storming down the tunnel straight
after the game without applauding the
traveling fans.
Heading into this game, Manchester
United find themselves in seventh place
in the Premier League. The club are
seven points off the final UEFA Champions
League spot, though they have two
matches in hand. They have also struggled
to score goals under Rangnick, having
netted just three times in his three league
games in charge.
Despite scoring just once in three games
under the German tactician, Cristiano
Ronaldo is extremely likely to start
against Burnley. The Portuguese attacker
could be joined by either Mason
Greenwood or Cavani upfront in Rangnick's
preferred 4-2-2-2 system.
With Bruno Fernandes unavailable
for the game against the Clarets due to a
suspension, Manchester United will
need Ronaldo to be at his best.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been
excellent since returning to
Manchester United
Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester
United in the summer transfer window
from Juventus. The 36-year-old had an
immediate impact, netting a brace in
his first match back at Old Trafford.
Ronaldo was also particularly brilliant
in the group stages of this season's
Champions League. He scored six times
in five matches, including multiple late
equalizers and winners, to take the Red
Devils into the knockouts as table-toppers.
Overall, Ronaldo has found the back
of the net 13 times and provided two
assists in 19 matches for Manchester
United this term. While he is yet to
fully settle into interim boss Rangnick's
system, it's only a matter of time before
he begins scoring goals for fun again.
