Cristiano Ronaldo “furious with Man Utd teammates” during Atletico Madrid draw
Rio Ferdinand highlighted Cristiano Ronaldo’s obvious frustration with his teammates after Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night.
Manchester United struggled in the first half in Madrid, with Joao Felix’s header putting Atletico ahead, but Ralf Rangnick’s side escaped with a point after Anthony Elanga’s equalizer.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo had another frustrating game for United, failing to register a shot on goal in the match.
The Portuguese star displayed his frustrations in the first half when two crosses were delivered but he was the only United player in the box.
After the ball was out of play, Ronaldo threw his arms out and raised a single finger, hinting that he was the only United player attacking the ball.
“Cristiano Ronaldo on his own in the box,” Ferdinand told BT Sport.
“You’ve got an opportunity to cross the ball against Atletico Madrid away from home, you’ve got to get people in the box, more than one.
“Here you see the frustrations of someone like Cristiano. He had a quiet night to be fair to him.
‘But who’s in the box? You’ve got him here on his own and you’ve got eight [Atletico] players in red and white stripes against one player in the box.
‘Watch his reaction, it says it all, frustration, throwing his hands out, ‘one player’.’
