Cristiano Ronaldo showed his anger towards Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick in his match-winning performance in the 3-2 win over Tottenham, according to Roy Keane. Ronaldo moved onto 807 career goals with a brilliant display at Old Trafford which included his 59th hat-trick.He opened the scoring with a thunderbolt into the top corner from 25 yards but an Alex Telles handball allowed Harry Kane to equalise from the penalty spot for Spurs.The 37-year-old gave United the lead once again with a tap-in from Jadon Sancho’s pass before an own goal from Harry Maguire made it 2-2.Ronaldo struck for a final time in the 81st minute, powering in a header from a corner to move United past Arsenal into fourth place in the Premier League.It was a classic performance from the Portuguese superstar – and Keane believes it was born out of frustration with his situation at the club."That’s where United are at, the quality of both teams wasn’t great,” he said on Sky Sports.“But it was entertaining and Ronaldo stepped up to the plate.

The good, the bad, the ugly," he said."I'm more interested in seeing the response.
