Jamie Carragher believes that Erik ten Hag is deliberately "blanking" Cristiano Ronaldo after snubbing the superstar until the final seven minutes of Manchester United's win over Liverpool.
Ronaldo had started the Red Devils' humiliating defeat at Brentford last week, but was dropped for the visit of Jurgen Klopp's side on Monday. Instead, Marcus Rashford was picked to play in the central role at Old Trafford for the crunch clash.
It proved to be the right decision though, with United heading into half-time leading thanks to Jadon Sancho's goal. Ten Hag then opted to make a change at the break, but rather than Ronaldo, it was Anthony Martial who came on for Anthony Elanga.
