Cristiano Ronaldo asked Manchester United's interim manager Ralf Rangnick to consider a tactical change amid struggling league form, but had his idea batted away.
The Athletic has reported that Ronaldo was part of a group of players who approached Rangnick at United's training ground in February this year. The 37-year-old wanted to partner Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani in a robust front pair which would have added some fight to United's challenge.
However, Ronaldo's pleas fell on deaf ears with United finishing the season in sixth while Rangnick left his interim manager role and ditched plans to become a consultant at the club this season.
