Jamie Carragher pokes fun at Roy Keane's Cristiano Ronaldo comments as Manchester United exit FA Cup

Manchester United failed to return to winning ways on Tuesday night as they were held to a stalemate by Burnley.

Cristiano Ronaldo and his path to becoming one of the greatest ever footballers is not without personal tragedy.

Cristiano Ronaldo's superstition has had fans baffled after he was spotted kissing his shin pads on the bench.Ralf Rangnick named the Manchester United star on the bench as they faced Burnley at Turf Moor, with Edinson Cavani preferred.But the scores drawn at 1-1 and the Uruguayan having little impact, it was not long before the Red Devils coach turned to the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.And while putting on Ronaldo to try land all three points is hardly shocking news, BT Sport cameras picked up the forward in an unusual act.After the 37-year-old's warm-up, he returned to the bench to get ready to come on - including putting his shin pads on.Pictured on them was his signature CR7 tag as well as a big self-portrait and his children.The Portugal international appeared to kiss each face before putting them on and making his way to the touchline to replace Cavani.But it has left fans puzzled over his superstitious ways with one saying: "Ronaldo really got himself on his shin pads."And another said: "Ronaldo lipsing his shinpads with a picture of himself on, fairs."A third quipped: "Ronaldo kissing his shinpads with his face on is such a Ronaldo thing."While this fan said: "This is PEAK Ronaldo.""Ronaldo mate you’re 37…" another supporter tweeted.And this fan said: "Bro does Ronaldo have his own photo on his shinpads this guy is crazy."Meanwhile, Rangnick did explain why he decided to drop Ronaldo to the bench in a dig at his pressing ability.Want to be on the ball with all of the latest football news?Well then sign up for the brilliant Daily Star football email newsletter!From the latest transfer news to the agenda-setting stories, get it all in your email inbox - don't miss a thing.It only takes a matter of seconds.Simply

Manchester United fell out of the top four after failing to beat bottom of the table Burnley on Tuesday night, drawing 1-1 with Sean Dyche's side.Paul Pogba opened the scoring for the Red Devils in the 18th minute as he guided the ball into the top corner after being teed up just inside the box by Luke Shaw.The Clarets then equalised just two minutes after halftime through Jay Rodriguez after the Englishman dinked a neat finish over David De Gea following an excellent piece of skill by Wout Weghorst.West Ham's 1-0 victory over Watford on the night means that United are sat just a point out of the Champions League places.But despite the draw masking what was a fairly strong display by Ralf Rangnick's display - especially in the first half- so, what did the manager get right?English team mates Luke Shaw and Jadon Sancho caused the Burnley defence an abundance of issues down the left wing and the pair appear to be on the cusp of a forming a great partnership.Since his arrival from Borussia Dortmund, Sancho has struggled to adjust to the Premier League. However, forming a relationship with Shaw down the left could see him begin to justify his mega price tag.The pair were able to stretch the Burnley defence and cause overloads outwide, especially in the first half, which in turn led to Pogba’s goal.Discussing Sancho’s struggles so far, Rio Ferdinand told BT: “Jadon Sancho is a player who gets players off balance, play’s one-twos, follows passes, very good in that sense." "I think some people expected with the price-tag and he’s came to Man United he’s going to be someone marauding from box-to-box, he not like that.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s abilities after preferring Edinson Cavani for Manchester United tonight. The Red Devils face Burnley where both sides are in dire need of a win for different reasons.

Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's Premier League clash with Burnley at Turf Moor this evening, making a huge selection call.

Manchester United have wasted plenty of money over the last century, and it has revealed that they spent £908m on new signings.Since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013, the Red Devils have struggled in all competitions and continually looked to the transfer market to try and bring in players to reignite the team.But a large bulk of their acquisitions have flopped at Old Trafford.Angel Di Maria (£67.5m), Anthony Martial (£54m) and Harry Maguire (£78m) are just a few names amongst a plethora of players who have massively underperformed since joining United.Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane were purchased ahead of the start of the season for a combined total of £112.5m, and although neither have lit up the Premier League just yet, it is too early to completely judge either of the pair.According to CIES Football Observatory, the club have made the biggest loss on transfers in the past 10 years - £78m more than rivals Manchester City, who have trophies and a star-studded squad for their expenditure.United are currently sitting in fourth place in the Premier League and have been tipped by many to splash the cash again in the summer once a permanent manager is found. Current boss Ralf Rangnick went unbacked in the January transfer window, with the board keen to only buy players who are part of the plans of his successor.

Edinson Cavani and Jesse Lingard will be in the Manchester United squad for their Premier League match at Burnley on Tuesday.

Wayne Rooney has revealed how he “disrespected” Sir Alex Ferguson after coming close to leaving Manchester United in 2010.

Cristiano Ronaldo is one game away from going on his biggest goal drought in club competitions for over 10 years.Manchester United face Burnley on Tuesday night and failure to net in the game for the superstar will mean that Ronaldo would have gone five games without scoring. The last time he failed to score for five consecutive games was back in 2010 when he was at Real Madrid.Ronaldo, who turned 37 on Saturday, has spoken before about playing way into his 40s and such a record, if broken, would be vindictive of just how great a player he has been.The Portugal international missed a penalty as United were knocked out of the FA Cup by Middlesbrough on Friday night.During this point, he did not net on the final day of his first season as a Los Blancos player, not getting on the scoresheet against Malaga.

Jesse Lingard and Edinson Cavani have returned to Manchester United training ahead of the Premier League match at Burnley on Tuesday night.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Mauricio Pochettino could trade places this summer as Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain brace themselves for some serious changes.United will need to appoint a new permanent manager in the coming months with interim head coach Ralf Rangnick's temporary deal set to expire at the end of the season, and Pochettino has been the frontrunner for some time.Meanwhile, reports suggest that Ronaldo already wants out of Old Trafford despite only returning to the club in August, with a move to Paris now looking likely.The French giants are preparing for life without Kylian Mbappe, who has reportedly agreed to join Real Madrid in the summer, and are considering replacing him with Ronaldo, according to the Mirror.The switch would see the 37-year-old lining up in the same team as eternal rival Lionel Messi for the very first time.Speculation surrounding the Portugal international's unhappiness in Manchester has intensified ever since the Red Devils were dumped out of the FA Cup on penalties by Championship side Middlesbrough on Friday.Ronaldo missed a number of chances during the game, including a penalty, and has now failed to find the back of the net in four matches, and is now one game away from his longest goal drought in over a decade.With United out of the Carabao Cup and trailing league leaders Manchester City by 19 points, the only piece of silverware Ronaldo can now hope to pick up this season is the Champions League.Which club would benefit most from this swap? Let us know what you think in the comments section below...As for Pochettino, United made an approach for him in November following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but prying him away from PSG mid-season was always going to be tough

Jamie Carragher has slammed the decision which saw Mohamed Salah miss out on taking a crucial penalty in the African Cup of Nations final shootout.Sadio Mane failed to convert an early spot kick in the showpiece final as both his Senegal and Salah's Egypt failed to break the deadlock across 120 minutes of action.The match was then decided by a penalty shootout with Liverpool's Senegalese star drilling home the decisive spot kick after the Pharaohs fluffed two of their efforts.However, his fellow Reds forward Salah was denied the opportunity to take an all-important penalty after being pencilled in for Egypt's fifth - only for the final to be decided before he had a chance to step up.Former Liverpool defender Carragher took to Twitter to express his outrage and bemusement at the costly decision which meant Egypt's talisman was prevented from taking a spot kick.The Sky Sports pundit posted: "That is why your best penalty taker should never go fifth. Mo Salah not taking a penalty for Egypt in a shootout in a final is madness.

Manchester United have been told they would get a 'definite' bonus if they sign Declan Rice for £100million.

Roy Keane and Ryan Giggs during his time at Manchester United. The attacker enjoyed an incredibly successful playing career, winning five Premier League titles, the Champions League and the FA Cup, as well as a multitude of individual awards.He is renowned for being one of the most talented players of his generation, also becoming England’s record goalscorer and captaining the Three Lions.Rooney spent the majority of his career playing for United, lining up alongside Giggs, Keane and many others in Sir Alex Ferguson’s dominant teams.But despite that success, Rooney has now admitted that he was “suffering inside” and felt unable to open up to his team-mates.“For a long period of my career, I was suffering inside.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson amid an ugly contract dispute during his time at the Premier League giants.The attacker spent 13 highly successful years at Old Trafford, helping them to win five Premier League titles and the 2008 Champions League.All of those trophies were won while Ferguson was Red Devils manager, with Rooney becoming one of the key players in the Scot’s side.But in October 2010 a spat erupted between the England international and his manager, with Rooney announcing he wanted to leave the club amid a split over each party’s ambition.At one point in the ugly confrontation, Rooney stormed into Ferguson’s office and demanded to know which players would be targeted in the transfer window.Rooney has now lifted the lid on the dispute, revealing that he was left concerned by United’s decision to sell both Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez.“I just felt at that time the club had offered me a new five-year deal, we’d sold Carlos Tevez, sold Cristiano Ronaldo,” he told the Mirror.“So I wanted reassurances of who we’re bringing in if you want me to commit myself for the next five years.Who is the best player in Manchester United's history? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section...“Who are we bringing in to improve or are you going to try to build a team over the next three, four or five years to then be successful?“That’s literally what I was saying and (laughs) he told me to get out of the office!“He’s probably the best manager of all time, so to have a young lad come in and ask him questions of how the club moving forward I completely understand that as well.”Rooney would end up making a U-turn and signing a new five-year deal, but admitted he likely left Ferguson feeling ‘disrespected’ by

Jamie Carragher has compared Mohamed Salah's Africa Cup of Nations penalty shootout decision to Cristiano Ronaldo's against Spain for Portugal.

Roy Keane offered a cheeky response when asked if he had a "busy week" ahead as he looks set to be announced as the new Sunderland manager.The Manchester United legend has grown increasingly linked to the vacant role at the League One club while he has been working as a pundit for ITV's coverage of the FA Cup over the weekend.He was asked by host Mark Pougatch about the speculation ahead of United's defeat to Middlesbrough on Friday evening."Well I've got no control over that so no comment," was his response on that occasion as he let out a wry smile.

Manchester United are reportedly eyeing Arsenal target Alexander Isak as Cristiano Ronaldo's potential replacement.Signing Ronaldo last summer was always going to be a short-term solution to the Red Devils' hunt for a striker, with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner now 37 years old.It might be even shorter than planned, though, because a season without silverware or Champions League qualification could see him depart this summer.If that were to happen, then The Mirror claim United could make a move for 22-year-old Isak, who has been heavily linked with Mikel Arteta's side to fill their gap for a new frontman. It's reported that United are keen on the Real Sociedad forward, but so are their Premier League rivals Chelsea.The Gunners now seem to have company in the race for the man seen as an alternative to Erling Haaland, who has looked set to move to Real Madrid but could now be up for grabs.They decided against making an offer for him in the January transfer window as his La Liga owners are only interested in selling for his £75m release clause.Would United be better off with Isak than Ronaldo? Let us know in the comments section.Isak's contract runs until 2026, which means Sociedad have no reason to cash in for any less than that fee.The Sweden international, who already has 31 caps for his country, has registered eight goals and two assists in 26 appearances for his club this season.Despite the rumour mill going into overdrive when he was spotted in London last month, Isak is remaining focused on his football.He told Mundo Deportivo: "I am not talking about other clubs.
