The rout suffered against Manchester City last Sunday caused Clear and expected shockwaves in the Manchester United universe. Not only at a sporting level, where it has been shown that the team will still have to grow a lot to compete with its main rivals, but also at an institutional level -and with Cristiano Ronaldo as the inescapable protagonist-.
The captain of the National Team did not leave the bench during the rout at the Etihad, being overlooked as an offensive solution by Rashford, in the starting eleven, and also by Martial, who let go in the second half. After the final whistle, Erik ten Hag explained that he did not use Ronaldo out of “respect”. “I wouldn’t put it on because we were losing 4-0 and it would be disrespectful to Cristiano and his great career. And I could put Marcial, who needs minutes, ” said the Dutch coach, in statements that divided opinions and did not precisely support the Portuguese’s expectations for the remainder of the season.
