Cristiano Ronaldo fumes at Ralf Rangnick after Manchester United sub vs Brentford

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Cristiano Ronaldo threw his coat to the floor in frustration after being substituted in the second half of Manchester United's clash with Brentford on Wednesday evening.

The Portuguese forward — who returned to the starting line-up after missing the back-to-back showdowns with Aston Villa through a hip problem — was taken off with 71 minutes on the clock and replaced by Harry Maguire.

United were two goals to the good at the time, following quick-fire strikes from Anthony Elanga and Mason Greenwood, and Ralf Rangnick made the decision to take Ronaldo off, despite his contribution to Greenwood's goal just past the hour mark.

After walking past Rangnick, Ronaldo stood with his hands on his hips as his number went up on the fourth official's board. He was handed his tracksuit coat by a backroom staff member and threw it to the floor, clearly angry with the German's decision to take him off with just under 20 minutes remaining.
