Confirmed : Is Cristiano Ronaldo playing for Manchester United against Everton tomorrow?here is the reply from Ralf Ragnick.
Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to start
when Manchester United face Everton
at Goodison Park in the Premier League
on Saturday. The 37-year-old forward
will be looking to guide United back
to winning ways in the league.
Ronaldo missed Manchester United's
1-1 draw against Leicester City last weekend
after suffering from an illness. However,
interim manager Ralf Rangnick has stated
in his press conference that the Portuguese
forward is fit to feature for their trip
to Merseyside.
According to the club's official website,
Ronaldo trained for the entire week so he
should be in shape to lead United's attack
against Everton. The five-time Ballon d'Or
winner could be joined by Jadon Sancho
and Marcus Rashford as part of the front three.
Cristiano Ronaldo has had a great track
record against Everton from his first
spell at Old Trafford. The 37-year-old forward
has played against the Toffees on 13
different occasions, scoring five goals
and providing three assists.
It is worth mentioning that Manchester
United only secured a 1-1 draw against
Everton earlier this season.
As things stand, the Red Devils are
seventh in the Premier League standings,
having amassed 51 points from 30 matches.
They are currently three points behind
fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur. However
, fifth-placed Arsenal are on the same
number of points as Spurs and have
a game in hand.
Everton, on the other hand, are in the
midst of a relegation battle. Frank Lampard's
side suffered a 3-2 defeat at the hands
of relegation rivals Burnley last time
around. This has seen them languishing
in 17th place, one point clear of
the relegation zone.
Cristiano Ronaldo is Manchester
United's top goalscorer this season
Cristiano Ronaldo is currently Manchester
United's highest goalscorer. As things
stand, the forward has netted 18 goals
in 32 appearances for the Red Devils
across all competitions.
Ronaldo is also the fourth-highest goalscorer
in the Premier League this season. His
12 league goals is only bettered by Mohamed
Salah, Diogo Jota and Son Heung-Min.
It is worth noting that Ronaldo netted his
first hat-trick of the season against
Tottenham Hotspur the last time he played
a league game for Manchester United.
Ralf Rangnick's side secured a 3-2 victory
against Spurs on that occasion.
Despite his best efforts in front of goal
, Cristiano Ronaldo is going to end the
first season of return at Old Trafford
without a single trophy.
