Cristiano Ronaldo may have been “fuming” to not start for Manchester United again - but didn’t let it show as he played a prank on his old teammate Rio Ferdinand.
For the second time in a week, Erik ten Hag named a United starting XI without the 37-year-old forward. Ronaldo has made it clear that he hopes to leave Old Trafford, less than a year after making a stunning return to the club.
After missing out on the Champions League last season - despite scoring 24 goals in all competitions - the Portuguese has expressed his desire to get a move. Those moves haven’t been forthcoming however and with just days of the window remaining, he looks set to suffer transfer frustration.
