Rangnick can't see Ronaldo handling another year with Man Utd
Posted Tuesday, March 01, 2022 by Tribalfootball.com
Ralf Rangnick is questioning whether Cristiano Ronaldo can handle another season with Manchester United.
The Manchester Evening News says Rangnick has major reservations about the prospect of Ronaldo spearheading United's attack next season.
Sources say Rangnick's patience is wearing thin with Ronaldo, who has managed one goal in his last 10 games and appears to be drained of confidence for the first time in his career.
Rangnick has not entertained the possibility of dropping Ronaldo due to United's dearth of reliable goalscorers. Striker Edinson Cavani has missed the last five games with a groin problem and scored twice all season, while Marcus Rashford has five goals in four-and-a-half months.
Ronaldo turned 37 on February 5 and started in six of United's seven games in 22 days this month but only scored against Brighton.
After Ronaldo rejoined United on deadline day, he scored 14 goals in his first 20 games but he has tallied one in 10 this year under Rangnick.
Ronaldo's contract expires next year and United have the option of an additional year.
