[스포츠서울 | 박준범기자] It’s really ‘to the worse’.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United) continues to be at the center of the controversy. He missed the match against Manchester City on the 7th (Korean time). Manchester United manager Ralph Langnick said the reason for Ronaldo’s absence was a hip injury. Ronaldo moved to Portugal without accompanying Manchester City, causing controversy. Manchester United lost 1-4 to Manchester City.
Some have questioned whether Ronaldo wasn’t able to attend the Manchester City match because of an injury. It was said that coach Langnick excluded Ronaldo from a tactical and strategic point of view, and Ronaldo expressed displeasure and left the team. However, Ronaldo returned to Manchester United training ground on the 8th, and the controversy seemed to have subsided.
However, the British media ‘Daily Mail’ reported that ‘Ronaldo, returning from Portugal, joined Manchester United’s training ground, but trained alone. This time his hip injury was the reason,’ he reported. It is known that Ronaldo left the training ground with bodyguards. Ronaldo has been silent for a month after scoring against Brighton on the 16th of last month. As he does not join the team training, it is unclear whether he will play against Tottenham on the 13th. The Ronaldo controversy is likely to continue.
