Cristiano Ronaldo to miss game due to hip problems
Cristiano Ronaldo misses a second game in a row with a hip problem, and Rashford is also out.
A little about the topic
The Portuguese footballer stayed out of the Red Devils squad to face Aston Villa on Saturday. Man Utd’s boss this week said he expects the Portuguese striker to be available after missing Monday’s FA Cup clash with Villa. But the 36-year-old was once again out as his side returned to the Premier League at Villa Park.
What did Rangnick say about Cristiano Ronaldo?
Cristiano Ronaldo is out of Man Utd due to a thigh injury. The Portuguese missed training with Man Utd on Friday and Man Utd’s interim manager felt it was best to leave him out of the weekend’s clash. On the eve of the match, when asked why Cristiano was absent, Ralf Rangnick said that he missed the cup game for the same reason.
According to Rangnick, Cristiano Ronaldo still had problems with his hip flexor before training yesterday and decided not to train him at the time. Then after practice, Ralf had another conversation with him and they then decided it didn’t make sense if Ronaldo still had hip flexor issues to take him on a trip here and then Ralf hopes he can play Wednesday .
Team also without Rashford
Ralf Rangnick’s team is also without Marcus and Wan-Bissaka, while Maguire is on the bench after recovering from a chest problem. Marcus Rashford was unable to train with the squad due to a leg injury, said Ralf. The German added that Rashford had what you call a dead leg in training the day before yesterday and it got worse overnight.
Once again Marcus couldn’t train yesterday. Ralf talked to him before training and they waited until the evening to see if the treatment made it better, but it didn’t, so again they decided not to take him with them.
