Former captain Roy Keane is not convinced that Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo is missing this afternoon's clash with Manchester City through a hip flexor injury.
As revealed by the Manchester Evening News on Saturday evening, the Portuguese star was not included in the squad for the 187th competitive instalment of the Manchester derby. He was not with the team at their hotel base last night and it has now been confirmed by interim manager Ralf Rangnick that he has missed out through "hip flexor injury."
In his absence, Bruno Fernandes is expected to operate as a false nine, with Jadon Sancho and Anthony Elanga offering support from the wide areas. United have enjoyed success against City in the past by playing on the counter-attack and they will be key to the Reds' efforts.
