Revealed : players from the Bench reveals Ronaldo insult to his coach after being subbed ,here is what the said .
Victory over Brentford was not enough
to calm Cristiano Ronaldo's temper
on Wednesday, as the Manchester United
star reacted angrily to being withdrawn
towards the end of his side's 3-1 win.
Goals from Anthony Elanga, Mason
Greenwood and Marcus Rashford were
enough to see United through at
Brentford Community Stadium and
ended a run of two Premier League
games without a win.
But Ronaldo was not happy with
Ralf Rangnick's decision to take
him off and made his feelings known
on the bench.
The Portugal striker had not
featured for United since January 3
due to a hip problem.
And on his return to the team after
two games out, he failed to make
the scoresheet as the Reds' young
attacking stars took centre-stage.
Once Greenwood put his side 2-0
up after 70 minutes, interim manager
Rangnick chose to take the veteran
out of the game and bring on Harry
Maguire to bolster his defence.
That decision, however, did not impress
Ronaldo.
"Why me? Why me ... Why would
you take me off?" he was seen to
mutter as he trudged off the pitch
before throwing his jacket to the floor.
His frustration continued as he sat
alone on a step, before Rangnick
came over to offer some apparent
words of comfort to his vexed star.
Since returning to United Ronaldo
has made his presence felt mostly
in the Champions League, where a
remarkable run of six goals in five
games led the Reds to first place
in their group.
Domestically, though, both he
and his club have more of a mixed record.
Eight goals in 17 games marks
a solid if relatively unspectacular
tally in front of the net for the lethal
scorer, while United remain in seventh
place despite Wednesday's victory,
two points off West Ham in the last
Champions League qualifying spot.
Recent reports, moreover, suggest
that the ex-Real Madrid and Juventus
ace is unsettled at Old Trafford and
could even seek a move away should
United fail to make the Champions
League for 2022-23.
