A Cristiano Ronaldo injury was the final bitter pill as Manchester United’s season of misery reached a new nadir on Saturday losing 1-0 to relegation-threatened Everton.
The Red Devils headed to Goodison Park knowing only a win would be enough to keep the pressure on the teams around them in the battle for the top four. But Anthony Gordon’s deflected first-half strike was the difference, meaning they have now won just one of their last seven matches in all competitions.
And to make matters even worse Cristiano Ronaldo picked up an ugly-looking shin injury in the closing stages and was seen limping down the tunnel shortly after the full-time whistle. Pictures show that the 37-year-old had a scar on his left shin and was forced to roll down his sock as he trudged off the pitch.
