Cristiano Ronaldo backs new manager Erik Ten Hag to deliver at Manchester United

<p>Manchester United are set to undergo major changes after another disappointing season but former midfielder David Beckham hopes Cristiano Ronaldo sticks around for at least another year.<br />
United`s 4-0 hammering at Brighton &amp; Hove Albion at the weekend means they cannot finish higher than sixth.</p>

<p>The Old Trafford side have appointed Ajax Amsterdam manager Erik ten Hag to replace interim boss Ralf Rangnick from the end of the current campaign, with the Dutchman expected to revamp the squad during the close season. Ronaldo has scored 24 goals in all competitions this season and Beckham, who also wore United`s number seven jersey, hopes the 37-year-old forward will stay on.</p>

<p>"It`s important to him -- we all know how much United means to him. He`s still doing what he does best," Beckham told Sky Sports at the Miami Grand Prix. "To be doing what he`s doing at his age is really incredible so hopefully it continues for another year or two."</p>

<p>Beckham, who won six Premier League titles at United, said fans had stuck by the side through some difficult times, with United`s last league title coming in the 2012-2013 season. "It`s been a tough end to the season. But it is the end of the season, I`m sure a lot of fans are thankful of that because it`s been a tough one -- full of ups and downs," he said.

'We know how much Manchester United means to him' - David Beckham hopes Cristiano Ronaldo stays on

<p>Manchester United's season continues to go from bad to worse with one defeat after another. The English Premier League (EPL) giants have endured a disappointing campaign this season as they are all but certain to miss out on a spot in the Champions League by finishing outside the top four in England's top flight. The Red Devils were hammered 4-0 by Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.</p>

<p>It was yet another woeful performance from United, who have failed to find the rhythm and have struggled immensely under interim manager Ralf Rangnick. From dressing room leaks to players failing to perform up to the expectations, United have had a turbulent time this season as they find themselves reeling on the spot on the points table.</p>

<p>It was a dismal performance from United on Saturday as goals from Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Pascal Grob and Leandro Trossard saw Brighton earn a comprehensive 4-0 win against the Red Devils. After their 3-0 win over Brentford in their last game, United were expected to finish the season on a high but they faltered once again against Brighton.</p>

<p>The Portuguese midfielder, who has been one of the better players for United this season, said he also deserved the backlash from the fans along with his teammates as they were not good enough against Brighton.</p>

Manchester United board rejected request to sign a striker in January transfer window, reveals Ralf Rangnick

<p>Manchester United must sign two "modern" strikers who will bring real quality to the attacking positions when new manager Erik ten Hag begins his squad rebuild, interim boss Ralf Rangnick said.</p>

<p>Rangnick will step down at the end of the season and the new Austria manager, who will remain at Old Trafford in a consultancy role, said finding someone to share the scoring burden with Cristiano Ronaldo will be one of Ten Hag`s top tasks.</p>

<p>United are sixth in the Premier League and have scored 57 goals in the campaign, 27 fewer than leaders Manchester City.</p>

<p>Portuguese forward Ronaldo has scored 24 goals from 38 games in all competitions, including 18 in the league.<br />
"Cristiano isn`t a central striker or does not want to play in that position," Rangnick said. "It`s obvious the club needs at least two new strikers who give this team more quality and more options. I wouldn`t even call it wingers.</p>

Manchester United must sign two 'modern' strikers, says Ralf Rangnick ahead of Erik Ten Hag's rebuild

<p>Manchester United thrashed Brentford 3-0 in the English Premier League on Tuesday to bag crucial three points as the season towards its business end. It was a dominant performance from United in their last home fixture of the season as goals from captain Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane secured a comprehensive win at Old Trafford.</p>

<p>United got off to a brilliant start in the game as Fernandes put them ahead in the ninth minute with a sublime finish off a brilliant pass from Anthony Elanga from the right. Ronaldo then&nbsp;latched on to an assist from Juan Mata to find the back of the net in the 45th minute, however, it was ruled out by the VAR.</p>

<p>Ronaldo converted a penalty in the second half to eventually extend United's lead before Varane scored from a corner to seal the deal for Ralf Rangnick's men. Following the conclusion of the game, Ronaldo sent out a strong message to United fans as he appeared to say - " I am not finished" to the camera while walking off the pitch.</p>

Manchester United thrashed Brentford 3-0 in the English Premier League on Tuesday to bag crucial three points as the season towards its business end. It was a dominant performance from United in their last home fixture of the season as goals from captain Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane secured a comprehensive win at Old Trafford. United got off to a brilliant start in the game as Fernandes put them ahead in the ninth minute with a sublime finish off a brilliant pass from Anthony Elanga from the right. Ronaldo then latched on to an assist from Juan Mata to find the back of the net in the 45th minute, however, it was ruled out by the VAR. Ronaldo converted a penalty in the second half to eventually extend United's lead before Varane scored from a corner to seal the deal for Ralf Rangnick's men. Following the conclusion of the game, Ronaldo sent out a strong message to United fans as he appeared to say - " I am not finished" to the camera while walking off the pitch.

'I'm not finished': Cristiano Ronaldo sends message to Man Utd fans after 3-0 win over Brentford - WATCH

<p>Defender Raphael Varane scored his first Premier League goal as Manchester United returned to winning ways with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Brentford on a night of potential farewells at Old Trafford. Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo, the latter with a penalty, also netted on Monday, which is the last home fixture of a difficult campaign for United.</p>

<p>Juan Mata and Nemanja Matic were given starts by departing coach Ralf Rangnick in what is likely their final season with the club, while Edinson Cavani, who is also expected to leave, came off the bench. United remain in sixth place with 58 points from 36 games, five behind fourth-placed Arsenal but having played two more matches.</p>

<p>Brentford have 40 points from 35 games and may need one more win to ensure they are not dragged into a relegation fight. There had been talks fans walking out of the stadium in the 73rd minute in protest of the Glazer family having owned the club for 17 years.</p>

<p>But there was no mass exit as the vast majority stayed to watch what was a rare commanding performance by United in recent months. "The last game of the season at home, we wanted a good result and a good performance," United captain Fernandes told SkySports after scoring his 50th goal for the club.</p>

<p>"We know our standard has not been at (the level) everyone expects and our own expectations were bigger than this. The club has to get back at the level it deserves. There will be a time to meet the new coach (Erik Ten Hag) and learn the way he wants to play, but first we must finish the season well."</p>

<p>United had won only one of their previous seven games in all competitions and seen their hopes of playing Champions League football next season fade. On Monday, however, they played with confidence and no shortage of quality from the first outset.</p>

<p>They opened the scoring on nine minutes with a well-worked goal as Diogo Dalot fed Anthony Elanga with a superb pass on the right and the latter`s cross was met on the volley by Fernandes. Ronaldo won a clear penalty on the hour-mark when he was barged over in the box by Rico Henry and stepped up to convert a clinical spot-kick to settle any lingering home nerves.</p>

Fernandes, Ronaldo score as Manchester United beat Bretford 3-0 in English Premier League

<p>Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly set to make a sensational return to his former club Real Madrid amid growing uncertainty about his future at his current club Manchester United. United recently appointed Erik ten Hag as their new manager and are&nbsp;planning to give the Dutchman time and freedom to start a much-needed&nbsp;rebuild at Old Trafford.</p>

<p>Ronaldo, who joined United from Juventus last summer, has been brilliant in front of the goal despite being on the wrong side of his 30s. Even at the age of 37, Ronaldo continues to be one of the most prolific goal-scorers in world football and has proved his worth yet again with his goal-scoring heroics for United across all competitions.</p>

<p>Ronaldo has so far scored 23 goals for United across all competitions despite the Red Devils going through a rough patch this season. The Portuguese icon, who is regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, has scored 17 goals in the Premier League and has been consistent when fit.</p>

<p>As per a report in <em>Mirror.co.uk</em>, Ronaldo's goal-scoring exploits in the Premier League have impressed Real Madrid, who are keen to have the Portuguese forward back at the Santiago Bernabeu. Ronaldo, who is one of the greatest ever to have played for Real Madrid, had left the Spanish club to sign for Juventus in 2018 bringing an end to a glorious spell at Real.</p>

The report further states that while Real Madrid are interested to have Ronaldo back at the club, his future at Manchester United is not certain amid the arrival of new manager Ten Haag.</p>

<p>The Dutchman reportedly wants to build a squad based on youth and energy and veteran striker Ronaldo might not fit the bill for him at Old Trafford. However, Ronaldo's excellent goal-scoring record for United this season proves he can still be an asset for any top club in the world.</p>

<p>Manchester United are currently placed sixth on the Premier League points table with 55 points from 35 matches and are likely to finish outside the top four this season. The Red Devils will not feature in the Champions League next season if they fail to make it to the top four.</p>

Manchester United are currently placed sixth on the Premier League points table with 55 points from 35 matches and are likely to finish outside the top four this season. The Red Devils will not feature in the Champions League next season if they fail to make it to the top four.

Cristiano Ronaldo likely to make sensational return to Real Madrid amid uncertainty at Man Utd - Report

<p>Manchester United`s interim manager Ralf Rangnick has been appointed as the Austrian national team coach on a two-year deal tasked with qualifying for Euro 2024, the country`s football association president Gerhard Milletich said on Friday.</p>

<p>Rangnick, who will make way at United for Erik ten Hag at the end of the season, has said he will also stay on in a consultancy role at the Premier League club. "It is an honour for me to take over as head coach. I look forward to working with a success-hungry young team and compete at the Euro (2024) in Germany," Rangnick said.</p>

<p>The contract with the 63-year-old will be initially for two years but should the team qualify for Euro 2024 then it is automatically extended for another two years for the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, the FA said.</p>

<p>Austria reached the Euro 2020 last 16 but have not qualified for a World Cup since 1998. The FA added that they expected him to take over in late May after the end of the Premier League season. "We are delighted that we have won as our team chief an outstanding expert of international football with Ralf Rangnick," Milletich told a news conference.</p>

Manchester United's interim manager Ralf Rangnick takes over as Austria coach

<p>Manchester United`s Cristiano Ronaldo showed his continued class in front of goal by cancelling out Marcos Alonso`s opener for a dominant Chelsea side in their 1-1 Premier League draw at Old Trafford on Thursday. It was another night of mediocrity from Ralf Rangnick`s United as their troubled season, which began with such high expectations, peters out.</p>

<p>The result leaves Chelsea in third place on 66 points while United are in sixth spot with 55, five points behind fourth-placed Arsenal having played two games more. The only moment of class, to bring some cheer to the United supporters who had again vented their frustrations against the club`s American owners, the Glazer family, came from Ronaldo with a superb piece of control and finishing.</p>

<p>Little has worked for United this season, either under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer or German Rangnick, who took over from the Norwegian in November, but Portugal`s five-time Ballon d`Or winner has certainly delivered in front of goal.</p>

<p>Ronaldo`s 62nd-minute strike was his 17th league goal this season with only Mohamed Salah of Liverpool having found the target more often and the former Real Madrid man has claimed eight of his team`s last nine goals.</p>

<p>"Not only the goal Cristiano scored but his whole performance, his attitude at the age of 37, this is not normal to do that," said Rangnick.</p>

<p>"If he plays like he did today he can still be a big help to this team," he added.</p>

<p>"It was a good point for us. In the first half Chelsea dominated the game. You can see that they have top players and are well organised, and it`s not so easy to get hold of them," added the interim manager who will be replaced by Ajax Amsterdam boss Erik ten Hag at the end of the season.</p>

<p>After Chelsea failed to make the most of a series of chances in the first half, with United goalkeeper David De Gea three times denying Kai Havertz, they finally got ahead on the hour. Reece James` cross was flicked on by Havertz and Alonso powered a left-foot volley into the corner of the net.</p>

<p>Within two minutes, though, United were back on level terms when Nemanja Matic scooped the ball over the top and Ronaldo took one touch before slotting past keeper Edouard Mendy.

<p>Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes said Jesse Lingard described the Old Trafford club`s dressing room as "a disaster".</p>

<p>"It is an absolute mess. It is a disaster of a dressing room," Scholes, who helped United win 11 league titles and two Champions League trophies, told DAZN.</p>

<p>"I had a quick chat with Jesse the other day and I`m sure he won`t mind me saying that the dressing room is just a disaster."</p>

<p>“Cheshire Police were called to reports of a bomb threat,” police said in a statement. “No evacuations took place, but as a precautionary measure a police explosives dog has attended the address this afternoon, Thursday 21 April, to conduct a search of the gardens and surrounding area.”</p>

<p>“The safety of his family and those around him is obviously Harry’s number one priority," the England defender's management team said in a statement.

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire receives bomb threat amid Red Devils' struggles

<p>Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed his gratitude and acknowledged the Liverpool fans for their show of compassion towards the Manchester United's striker following the passing away of his newborn son. Ahead of the Red Devils' English Premier League (EPL) face-off versus Liverpool, Ronaldo had taken to his social media handles to share the devastating news of the death of his newborn son.</p>

<p>Thus, the 37-year-old Portuguese captain opted out of Man United's encounter versus Liverpool, on Tuesday night, at Anfield. Despite his absence from the marquee face-off, Ronaldo was remembered by Liverpool and Man United's supporters. The Liverpool fans were singing&nbsp;"You'll Never Walk Alone" while the Red Devils' supporters applauded the moment during the initial phase of the match. Ronaldo was also given a standing ovation in the seventh minute of the game whereas both sets of players wore black armbands to pay respect to the superstar footballer's tragic loss.</p>

<p>Seeing the outpouring of love and compassion, Ronaldo took to his official Instagram handle and lauded the Liverpool and Man United fans. He captioned the post, “One world One sport One global family Thanks, Anfield. Me and my family will never forget this moment of respect and compassion.”</p>

'You'll Never Walk Alone': Man Utd and Liverpool fans unite to show support for grieving Ronaldo - Watch

<p>Liverpool`s two-goal hero Mohamed Salah said Manchester United made it easier for them in Tuesday`s 4-0 victory at Anfield, which sent Juergen Klopp`s team to the top of the Premier League. The home side were 2-0 up inside 22 minutes and United never even hinted at mounting any kind of comeback.</p>

<p>"They make our life easier in the midfield and in the back, they always try to give us the ball in a one against one situation so it makes our life much easier," said Egyptian Salah.</p>

<p>Liverpool won the reverse fixture 5-0 at Old Trafford in October and Salah noted his side`s defensive record as well as their prolific scoring.</p>

<p>"When we defend we had a clean sheet here and a clean sheet there, so they make our life easier," said Salah.</p>

<p>"We just want to score one goal and once we get the first, go for the second, once we get the second go for the third. It was a top performance from us here and away also. Hopefully carry on like this," he added.</p>

<p>United`s Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes was clear that the performance was well below the standard expected by the club`s supporters.</p>

<p>"The fans don`t deserve us to play this way. They deserve more from us. The way they stay and applaud us, they deserve more. We have to raise our level higher," said Fernandes, who rejected the idea that the players were not trying.</p>

<p>"I think everyone runs. I think there is effort from everyone. I don`t think someone does not give 100%. We have to do it for ourselves, the clubs, the fans and everyone," he said.</p>

<p>"We have to say things but that is kept in the dressing room. Now it is over we have to think of the next game."<br />
The Portugal playmaker said the difference between the two teams was evident.</p>

<p>"Liverpool is ready for the title. We are not. I don`t need to be here saying about the difference of the level. We have to look at ourselves, from top to bottom and understand what is going wrong," he said.</p>

Cristiano Ronaldo announces death of baby boy, shares emotional post

<p>Manchester United only need a couple of good transfer windows to get them playing to a similar standard as Liverpool, interim manager Ralf Rangnick said on Monday.</p>

<p>Liverpool have won the Premier League, Champions League, League Cup, Super Cup and Club World Cup over the last four seasons, a period during which United have failed to claim a single trophy.</p>

<p>Rangnick told reporters ahead of their game against Liverpool at Anfield later on Tuesday that the success of United`s rebuild would depend on deciding on a style of play and bringing in the players who can make it work.</p>

<p>"I don`t think that a club like Manchester United can afford to take three or four years in order to achieve that, and I don`t think it is necessary," he said.</p>

<p>"If you know what you are looking for it will take two or three transfer windows. If you don`t know what you`re looking for you`ll always be looking for the needle in the haystack.</p>

<p>"If you know what kind of football you want to play and what kind of profiles you want for each individual position, then it is about finding the players and convincing them to come. It`s not that complicated, it`s not rocket science."</p>

<p>Liverpool claimed their first top-flight league title for 30 years in 2020 but Rangnick said it was unlikely United would be forced to wait a similar period.</p>

<p>"I suppose that will not happen because it is pretty obvious what needs to change and there needs to be a rebuild for the future," Rangnick said. "I don`t think that this will happen."</p>

<p>United are fifth in the league, three points behind Tottenham Hotspur, who are in the last Champions League spot.</p>

<p>Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick on Monday urged his side to display more defensive solidity ahead of a crucial run-in that will determine Champions League qualification and likely define his tenure as interim boss.</p>

<p>Rangnick, who succeeded Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in November last year, has struggled to turn around United`s season following a dismal start, with the team three points adrift of Tottenham Hotspur in fourth.</p>

<p>"We need to be more compact, we need to find the right balance of what we do in possession of the ball and what we need to do in order to defend our own goal," Rangnick told reporters ahead of Tuesday`s visit to second-placed Liverpool.</p>

<p>"For sure, we need to be more compact, more aggressive... this is what we need to show tomorrow against a team that is probably one of the best in creating moments which they can be dangerous from in and around the box. We need to be at our very best defensively."</p>

<p>Rangnick said that Liverpool, who trail leaders Manchester City by a point, will start as favourites but his side were capable of causing an upset.</p>

<p>"Although we might be the underdogs for most people, we still know that if we raise our level, if we play a top performance, then we have a chance to get three points. This will be our ambition and goal for tomorrow," he added.</p>

<p>The German confirmed that midfielder Bruno Fernandes was involved in a car crash earlier on Monday but escaped unhurt and will be available against Liverpool.</p>

<p>"Yes, he was training with the team, obviously the accident happened on the way to Carrington. As far as I know, no one was injured. He was okay and he`ll be okay for tomorrow," he said.</p>

<p>Defender Raphael Varane, however, is likely to miss out again after having sat out the last two league games due to a muscle problem.</p>

<p>"He didn`t train with the team, he was on the pitch with one of our rehab coaches. In regard to injuries, we have the same situation as we had in the last two games," added Rangnick.</p>

Premier League: Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick rescues Man United amid fan anger in Norwich win

<p>Merseyside Police is investigating an incident where Cristiano Ronaldo apparently slapped a mobile phone out of a fan`s hand as the Portuguese left the field after Manchester United`s loss at Everton. Footage taken by @EvertonHub, shows Ronaldo knocking the device to the floor after Everton`s 1-0 victory over the Red Devils at Goodison Park.</p>

<p>Merseyside Police have now launched an investigation, a spokesperson confirmed. "We can confirm that we are liaising with Manchester United Football Club and Everton FC following reports of an alleged assault at the Everton v Manchester United football match at Goodison," a statement read as per Sky Sports."As players were leaving the pitch at 2.30pm, it was reported that a boy was assaulted by one of the away team as they left the pitch. Inquiries are under way and officers are currently working with Everton Football Club to review CCTV footage and are carrying out extensive witness enquiries to establish if an offence has taken place."</p>

I would like to apologize for my outburst and, if possible, I would like to invite this supporter to watch a game at Old Trafford as a sign of fair-play and sportsmanship," Ronaldo added.

Police confirm investigation after Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo apologises for smashing fan's phone

<p>A woman has slammed Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo alleging assault after her 14-year-old son was left with a bruised hand and a destroyed mobile phone for being on the receiving end of the Portuguese forward's outburst post his side's 1-0 loss against Everton in the Premier League on Saturday.

<p>In a conversation with <em>Liverpool ECHO</em>, Sarah said she had taken her 14-year-old son Jake to watch an Everton game for the first time in his life. The mother-son duo were sitting in the Park End close to the tunnel from where players from both teams&nbsp;walk through after&nbsp;the conclusion of the game.</p>

<p>Sarah revealed her son Jake was trying to capture all the United players as they walked by and had lowered his phone trying to capture Ronaldo's injury when his phone was smacked to the ground by the Manchester United star.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"At full-time the Man United players started walking off. We were in the Park End so we were right by the tunnel where they came walking past - my son was there videoing them all," Sarah told the Liverpool ECHO.</p>

<p>"He filmed all the United players walking through. And then he lowered his phone because Ronaldo had pulled down his sock and his leg was bleeding. He lowered his phone to see what it was - he didn’t even speak.</p>

<p>"Ronaldo then just walked past, with a terrible, terrible temper and smashed the phone out of my son’s hand and carried on walking," she added. She also shared pictures of her son's bruised hand and broken phone.</p>

Woman shares pic of 14-year-old son's bruised hand, smashed phone after Cristiano Ronaldo's outburst

<p>Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo issued an apology on social media after knocking a fan's phone to the ground in frustration post his club's 1-0 defeat against Everton in the Premier League on Saturday. After their disappointing exit from the Champions League, United have been winless in their last two matches in the Premier League as they drew 1-1 against Leicester City in their previous outing before slipping to a shambolic defeat against Everton on Saturday.</p>

<p>Ronaldo, who failed to find the back of the net and rescue his side, was seemingly frustrated post the game and appeared to have smashed an Everton fan's phone to the ground while walking through the tunnel at the Goodison Park. In a video that has gone viral on social media, Ronaldo can be seen siping his hands towards the ground as he walked off the pitch post the game.</p>

<p>As per claims of fans who were present at the stadium, Ronaldo knocked down the fan's phone out of his hand as it smashed to the ground. Ronaldo took to social media to apologise for his actions and also invited the fan to watch a game at Old Trafford.</p>

<p>"It's never easy to deal with emotions in difficult moments such as the one we are facing," Ronaldo said. "Nevertheless, we always have to be respectful, patient and set the example for all the youngsters who love the beautiful game," Ronaldo wrote in a social media post.</p>

<p>"I would like to apologise for my outburst and, if possible, I would like to invite this supporter to watch a game at Old Trafford as a sign of fair-play and sportsmanship," he added.</p>

<p>It was a frustrating outing for United, who are currently at the seventh spot with 51 points from 31 matches and are far off from a spot in the top four. Everton, who had lost against Burnley last week, took the lead through Anthony Gordon in the 27th minute. United failed to equalise despite coming close on a few occasions as they ended up conceding three points once again.</p>

<p>Ronaldo came close to equalising for United later in the game but failed to put it past the Everton goalkeeper. The defeat has also further hurt United's chances of finishing in the top four this season and securing a spot in the Champions League.</p>

After their disappointing exit from the Champions League, United have been winless in their last two matches in the Premier League as they drew 1-1 against Leicester City in their previous outing before slipping to a shambolic defeat against Everton on Saturday. Ronaldo, who failed to find the back of the net and rescue his side, was seemingly frustrated post the game and appeared to have smashed an Everton fan's phone to the ground while walking through the tunnel at the Goodison Park. In a video that has gone viral on social media, Ronaldo can be seen siping his hands towards the ground as he walked off the pitch post the game. As per claims of fans who were present at the stadium, Ronaldo knocked down the fan's phone out of his hand as it smashed to the ground. Ronaldo took to social media to apologise for his actions and also invited the fan to watch a game at Old Trafford.

"Nevertheless, we always have to be respectful, patient and set the example for all the youngsters who love the beautiful game," Ronaldo wrote in a social media post. "I would like to apologise for my outburst and, if possible, I would like to invite this supporter to watch a game at Old Trafford as a sign of fair-play and sportsmanship," he added.

Everton, who had lost against Burnley last week, took the lead through Anthony Gordon in the 27th minute. United failed to equalise despite coming close on a few occasions as they ended up conceding three points once again. Ronaldo came close to equalising for United later in the game but failed to put it past the Everton goalkeeper. The defeat has also further hurt United's chances of finishing in the top four this season and securing a spot in the Champions League.
