Ralf Rangnick has revealed he picked Edinson Cavani ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo in the Manchester United side against Burnley as he felt the Uruguayan was better suited to the demands of facing the Clarets.
Ronaldo has been dropped from the United side after playing 120 minutes in the FA Cup fourth-round clash with Middlesbrough on Friday night, but Rangnick said the decision was tactical rather than being a rest.
The 37-year-old scored against Burnley when United won 3-1 at Turf Moor last month, but Rangnick has watched games at Turf Moor and expects a physical battle tonight, which is why Cavani has got the nod in attack.
