Cristiano Ronaldo called for this Manchester United star to be dropped in showdown meeting
Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo called for Manchester United captain Harry Maguire to be dropped from the starting XI during a meeting with Ralf Rangnick last season, The Athletic has revealed.
Manchester United struggled last season, finishing sixth in the Premier League with our lowest points tally of just 58.
Ronaldo was unhappy with Manchester United’s form last season and led a showdown meeting with Rangnick alongside other senior members of the squad, including Raphael Varane and Paul Pogba.
However, according to the Athletic via Metro, Maguire was not present despite his status as club captain and this afforded Ronaldo the chance to tell Rangnick to drop the England ace.
Maguire struggled last season and has been dropped from the starting XI in Manchester United’s last two games against Liverpool and Southampton, which has resulted in victories for the Red Devils.
