Manchester United's fiasco against Manchester City completely unveiled the fig leaf of Manchester United, this game after a day of fermentation, did not calm the public opinion, but triggered more people's discussion and attention. In addition to everything that happened during the game, Ronaldo's absence has become the focus of attention in this game from the beginning, after all, C Ronaldo's absence is not only the team's starting list, but even the team's big list has not entered. After the game, there were media reports that after determining the big list of missing teams, C Ronaldo had taken a plane back to Portugal to "recuperate", and it was even possible to miss the next match with Tottenham Hotspur, and whether the Champions League match against Atletico Madrid could return is also unknown.
First of all, according to the official news and the confirmation of the team's head coach Ronnick, C Ronaldo's absence from this match with Manchester City was mainly due to the injury of the hip flexor muscles that prevented him from participating in training, and the medical team of Manchester United advised Rangnick not to put C Ronaldo in the team's starting list. From this point of view, Lonnick's approach is not a problem, after all, the health of the player is the most critical, if the victory or defeat of a game leads to a more serious injury to the player, in the case of the next important game, it is indeed a bit too much to lose. However, whether this is really the case or not, there are still other voices coming out.
There are C Ronaldo fans on social media posts that there is no problem with C Ronaldo's health, the team chose to abandon C Ronaldo mainly because of the problem of tactical arrangements, C Ronaldo's sister also praised the fan. In fact, if it is really a problem of tactical arrangement, Lonnick can completely not hide it, and C Ronaldo has not sat on the bench before this, and can communicate with C Ronaldo, arrange to explain the team's tactics, and after obtaining the approval of the players, give C Ronaldo a chance at a critical moment. Such an arrangement can completely avoid the current situation, or even directly lead to greater problems in the team's dressing room.
Another problem is that Lonnick actually has a history of "lying" about player injuries. Prior to this, Longnick said in an interview that Lingard did not play because the players themselves had injuries and could not play, but Lingard said on social media that he was all right and very eager to play for the team. The two sides finally reached an agreement, and Lingard was given the opportunity to play, which invisibly proved Lonnick's "lie". On the matter of whether C Ronaldo was injured, whether Lonnick also lied, there is no more news at present. But the course of the game proved that United's current problems really have little to do with Ronaldo.
In this game, due to the absence of C Ronaldo, Cavani is still injured, Martial has been loaned by the team, manchester United can not even find a qualified center player, can only let B Fee and Pogba front, although it poses a certain threat, but in the end it is still unable to beat Manchester City. Lonnick's platooning has sparked a lot of discussion, focusing on whether experimenting with a "no front" in front of Manchester City is a bit of a big suspect. Moreover, losing to Manchester City is actually not unacceptable, but losing to the opponent in this process is the biggest problem, and some players in the current Manchester United squad have no fighting spirit to speak of, and even can be said to be unworthy to play for Manchester United. With Ronnick's arrangement, whether Ronaldo can still stay at Manchester United at the end of this season is really unknown.
