Fans adamant FA have ‘trolled’ Cristiano Ronaldo on purpose in compilation footage

Gary Lineker has fired back at Piers Morgan with a Cristiano Ronaldo quip during their Twitter row over the career of David Beckham.The pair became embroiled in a spat on Monday after Morgan had claimed that Beckham would not have made it onto the bench of Arsenal's Invincibles squad.He had earlier aimed a dig at Beckham whilst praising his namesake Odell Beckham Jr, who scored a touchdown for the Los Angeles during their Super Bowl victory on Sunday.Lineker was quick to jump to the defence of the former England captain and even fired back a quip about Ronaldo.After Lineker had responded to Morgan's initial pop at Beckham, the pair quickly went back and forth at each other on Twitter.Firstly, Morgan argued: “You might want to suck up to him, for whatever reason, but Beckham was the most overrated player in history.

My own view of that is that he should he leave now," Keys said speaking on beIN Sports."I’ve been of the opinion all season long that I think he’s as much a part of the problem - not the whole problem - as anything and anybody else."The other night, when he went running down the tunnel at Turf Moor, having recently lectured everyone about being the leader he believes himself to be and that youngsters don’t do the sorts of things he does."How does that encourage team spirit in the dressing room?"Co-host Andy Gray then added: "That was not good to see.

Harry Maguire had another nightmare in a Manchester United shirt with some comical defending against Southampton.Armando Broja, 20, ran the experienced centre-half ragged at Old Trafford in the 1-1 Premier League draw.The latest damaging result for United highlighted their frailties at the back once again.Just days after Burnley’s Jay Rodriguez and Wout Weghorst destroyed Maguire for their equaliser at Turf Moor, Southampton enjoyed inflicting similar pain on the United captain.One incident in particular a few minutes before the final whistle summed up the Red Devils defender’s problems.Broja turned him inside out in a tussle at the Saints broke, showing how far off the pace Maguire is right now.Fans of United and rival clubs mocked the England man, as one joked on Twitter: “I’ve seen milk turn faster.”Another asked: “How is this Carthorse still playing in the PL?”“Harry Maguire has invented no-look defending,” one person posted off the back of Broja’s neat turn.

Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is on course for his worst goal-scoring season since the 2005/06 campaign.Many thought when the Red Devils secured their former hero in the summer that the legendary forward’s return would be a glorious one.While clearly past his prime at 36 when signed, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner was coming off the back of a 29-goal campaign for Juventus and fans were at least certain of one thing – goals.But while the Portuguese ace hit the ground running early on in the campaign, his goals have massively dried up for the Red Devils as the season has progressed.

(sic)’And another fan who tuned in couldn’t wrap their head around the random turn of events, as they asked: ‘Why’s Ronaldo just baking off in a sauna in a shed not saying a single word on his Instagram live?’Ronaldo is no stranger to the sauna, as his former teammate Patrice Evra previously opened up on the star’s daily routine which included a steam.He recalled: ‘When he invited me for lunch… don’t ever go for lunch, because you are going to have one of the most boring lunches at Cristiano’s.

Premier League side’s flops as the players reportedly become ‘frustrated’ with Ralf Rangnick’s training sessions. The Red Devils have improved their results, if not their performances, since Rangnick took charge, but still face an uphill battle to finish in the top four.They currently sit one point adrift of West Ham, who occupy the final Champions League qualification place, with performances having been increasingly disappointing.United were dumped out of the FA Cup by Middlesbrough last week, before being held to a point by relegation-threatened Burnley in their return to league action on Tuesday.Matters at the club hit another low point on Friday when ESPN reported that the United squad are ‘becoming frustrated’ with Rangnick’s training methods.Their complaints are said to centre around the fact that the German places a heavy focus on 11 versus 11 work, rather than dynamic drills.United’s interim boss has put his focus on improving his team’s organisation and shape, which has led to an improved defensive record since he replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.But some players are said to have hit out at Rangnick for his ‘old fashioned’ method despite that turnaround.What do you think is the cause of Manchester United's recent problems? Let us know in the comments section...And they have now been slammed for doing so by the club’s supporters, who believe the fault for their poor form lies with the squad, not Rangnick.“They used to be so bad at 11v11, now they're better and they're complaining?” one supporter tweeted.“Hopefully they feel so strongly they put in a transfer request and request realistic wages at their new club so the move is quick,” another added.“These lot have not challenged for the big prizes for years.
