Cristiano Ronaldo snubbed by Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick during World Cup predictions

Ralf Rangnick has overlooked Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal when sharing his predictions for the 2022 World Cup finals.

The excitement continues to gather pace in Qatar and across the planet after the group-stage draw was conducted in Doha on Friday. England have been pitted against the US, Iran and either Scotland, Wales or Ukraine.

As for Ronaldo and Portugal, they are in Group H with Ghana, Uruguay and South Korea. Two goals from United playmaker Bruno Fernandes against North Macedonia sealed qualification for Portugal and they are among the favourites to go all the way. However, according to German coach Rangnick, there are two countries that stand out as potential winners in the first-ever winter World Cup.
