Breaking news: Rangnick on Ronaldo's United future after 1-1 Chelsea draw

 Manchester United interim manager 

Ralf Rangnick has revealed he is unsure 

of Cristiano Ronaldo's future at the club.




The 37-year-old once again got the Red 


Devils out of jail with a terrific equalizer


 against Chelsea in the Premier League 


to secure his side a largely undeserved 


point. The two English giants faced off 


on Thursday, April 28.



Ronaldo has now scored eight of Manchester


 United's last nine goals, including the club's


 previous five. Those strikes have taken


 his tally up to 23 across 36 games across


 all competitions since his return to 


Old Trafford from Juventus in the summer.


Following the clash, Rangnick was full 


of praise for his centre-forward. However, 



he admitted that the decision as to whether 


or not the Portuguese superstar stays at 


the club will be up to the player himself 


and incoming manager Erik ten Hag.



The 63-year-old boss told Sky Sports, as 


per BBC Sport:


"Not only the goal Cristiano scored

 but his whole performance, his 

attitude at age of 37, this is not 

normal to do that. If he plays like 

he did today he can still be a big

 help to this team."


"It is Erik's and Cristiano's decision

 for what he can do next but today

 his performance was really great."

Ronaldo bails out dismal Manchester

 United yet again


With just 35% possession and six shots


 compared to Chelsea's 21, the hosts were 


extremely fortunate to escape the clash 


with a point.



The Red Devils were once again forced to 


rely on Ronaldo's excellence and some outstanding


 saves from David De Gea to secure an 


unlikely draw.



Manchester United are almost certain to 


miss out on Champions League qualification


, having won only two of their last 11 


games in all competitions. Rangnick 


believes his side are not good enough 


defensively.



The German said:



"We showed a good reaction in 

the second half, and it was a great

 finish from Cristiano Ronaldo. 

In the first half we had our problems

 and we needed a few great saves

 from David de Gea."


"Second half we did better and 

we got more control. You could 

see they are a top team, no coincidence

 they won the Champions League

 and we don't have much confidence

 and had eight players missing."


"Although it was still a lucky 

draw, we earned it. At times we 

saw the gap, but they played with 

their best XI and we had players missing."

"We have problems with defending

, not compact enough and not 

physical enough."

  Jules Koundé will be  ‘sacrificed’  by  Sevilla this summer as Chelsea look  to sign him again after missing out last year. That’s  according to La Colina de Nervion ,  who say Sevilla’s poor performances in  Europe this season  ‘will force them to  sell’  a player this summer, and Koundé  is the likely candidate. He flirted with the Premier League and  Chelsea last summer, and this year will  be no different once he has finished  the campaign in Spain. Sevilla made a huge effort to keep him  last summer in the hope there would  be a big achievement this season, but  that is likely to be restrained to a third straight  Champions League qualification, a success  in itself but less than what the club  were hoping for. They were disappointing in the Champions  League and Europa League, and those  poor performances mean they  ‘need  to sell in the summer transfer wi...

  Chelsea won’t be an easy  opposition with the last three  meetings ending in draws, but  many United stars are playing  for their futures. With a huge rebuild expected this  summer, a number of players have  a point to prove to incoming head  coach Erik ten Hag. Formation:  3-4-2-1 Predicted Line-up: David de Gea has been one of the  stand-out performers for United this  campaign. He came up with a couple  of crucial saves against the Gunners , but was not sufficient to pick up  points. There are no doubts over  his position between the sticks. Ralf Rangnick may try to match  the Blues’ three-at-the-back formation,  something that has been done by  several clubs against them. In  this case, Harry Maguire could  be reinstated into the heart of the  defence alongside Raphael  Varane and Victor Lindelof. Diogo Dalot started nervously  against the Gunners with a couple  of de...
