Ralf Rangnick believes Cristiano Ronaldo was too emotional at being replaced during Manchester United’s win at Brentford and has urged him to temper his behaviour for the benefit of the team.
The 36-year-old, who is a doubt for Saturday’s home match against West Ham due to a neck injury, was taken off on 71 minutes with United 2-0 ahead as Rangnick switched to a back three, and the unhappy player immediately demanded an explanation. On Friday Rangnick was asked whether he accepted Ronaldo’s behaviour did not look good because it appeared a challenge to his authority.
