Ralf Rangnick has hailed Cristiano Ronaldo’s “best performance” during his second Manchester United spell, but admitted that managing the veteran striker is proving a “challenge”.
Ronaldo had been a major doubt coming into the game against Tottenham at Old Trafford, having missed the defeat to Manchester City last time out.
The 37-year-old had been struggling with a hip flexor issue and only joined the rest of the group in Thursday’s session and Rangnick admitted that he could have put him on the bench, only to change his mind and perform a U-turn to start him from the off.
