It’s fair to say that the honeymoon period from Cristiano Ronaldo’s emotional return to Old Trafford has long since worn off.
He was dropped for the 1-1 draw against Burnley at Turf Moor in favour of Edinson Cavani and the decision seemed vindicated for a period. Manchester United took a 1-0 lead through Paul Pogba, but the home side levelled things up with a goal from Jay Rodriguez minutes into the restart.
Ronaldo came on for around 22 minutes of the game but was unable to turn the single point into three, and it now leaves United a point behind West Ham in the battle for fourth place, but with a game in hand.
