On January 16, Beijing time, the 22nd round of the Premier League, Manchester United challenged Aston Villa away. Cristiano Ronaldo did not make the squad, and this is already two consecutive games he has missed.
Five days ago, in the third round of the FA Cup against Villa, Cristiano Ronaldo missed the squad due to injury. On Thursday, he retired early from training sessions at Manchester United. But at Friday's news conference, Lonnick confirmed that the president could play.
However, C Ronaldo did not even enter the big list in the end, what is the situation? One might wonder if it had anything to do with the controversial remarks he made in a recent interview. Of course not, with his position in the Manchester United team, criticizing two young players, there will be no problem at all, Lonnick has already supported the president at the press conference.
The real reason is injuries. Manchester United's interim manager explained: "Cristiano Ronaldo's flexor muscle injury, no training on Friday, hope he will come back on Wednesday. In addition to C Ronaldo, Rashford was also absent from this battle, with Cavani and Greenwood partnering up front.
