CRISTIANO RONALDO has reportedly been dropped for Manchester United's Premier League clash with Liverpool tonight.
History suggests Ronaldo won’t be happy with the decision. It’s not unfathomable that Ronaldo will look frustrated on the bench. Amid United’s poor start to the season, Ronaldo has wanted out. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been forced to amend his side’s pre-match ritual for their game against Liverpool on Monday night. [Cristiano Ronaldo](/latest/cristiano-ronaldo) won’t be part of [Manchester United](/latest/manchester-united-fc)’s starting XI for tonight’s Premier League clash with [Liverpool](/latest/liverpool-fc), according to reports. According to Sky Sports, Ronaldo won’t be enjoying a similar role tonight. While many of his team-mates were considerably poorer in the capital, his flat display was still worrying nonetheless. The final of the European Championships in 2016 was a testament to that, with Ronaldo offering his team-mates support after being forced out of the final clash with France due to injury. And Bruno Fernandes may be the fall guy for Scott McTominay, with the Scotland international expected to be restored after being dropped for the Brentford humbling. He wants out, he wants to play, so leaving him on the bench certainly represents a gamble from [Erik ten Hag](/latest/erik-ten-hag) just three matches into his reign. He asked to leave the club back in June, with the 37-year-old eager to be playing in the Champions League this term. He’s set to be named on the bench, with Anthony Martial likely to come into the side at his expense.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was introduced as a substitute against Brighton and Hove Albion on the opening day of the season before starting in last weekend's heavy defeat at the hands of Brentford.

MANCHESTER UNITED beat Liverpool 2-1 on Monday night, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes both involved in the Premier League fixture.
"The start of the game was exactly what everyone excepted, what United fans expected, they were after us,” he stated. “We had a difficult start but I am very happy especially for the fans and against Liverpool. “He can continue at a high level and give us a lot of goals but it’s his decision. "They scored the goal, which we had to defend differently, but that is how it is with goals. “For now he is a United player, I don’t know about his future, if he will leave or if he will not leave. The Red Devils beat their fierce rivals courtesy of goals from [Jadon Sancho](/latest/jadon-sancho) and [Marcus Rashford](/latest/marcus-rashford) in either half. We had massive chances. "We scored a goal and we deserved in that period and then you have to force it, we tried, have to admit in the end not good enough and that is why we lost.” And their midfield maestro, who skippered the side in the absence of [Harry Maguire](/latest/harry-maguire) from the starting XI, addressed the victory after the match. “Then we have to chase the game properly and then you can get in a bit of a rush. “It was not easy to deal with that but when you start in the process you find out the characters and behaviours of individuals and the team and I was definitely not satisfied with that, especially against Brentford. “I don't think they can always bring it that far as today but you can always have energy, always focus, always fighting spirit and those demands is a base for the team to winning games.”

Ronaldo started on the bench in United's 2-1 win over Liverpool at the Old Trafford.
Since his comeback to Manchester from Turin last summer, Ronaldo has received two-fold reactions from the fans at the club he won his first Ballon D’or. To this, the former United captain said, “Be in the team”. The Portuguese had missed all of United’s pre-season action until the match against Rayo Vallecano, in which he was substituted and was seen leaving the ground before the final whistle. One that highlighted his unhappiness over not being in the starting XI in a crucial tie. One segment, favoring his place in the lineup for the goals he scored during a bleak season that saw United not finish in the top four and qualify for Champions League, while another has strongly opposed the 37-year-old for not being involved in the team’s off the ball buildup and pressing further up the pitch. Ronaldo muttered out “I know!” as he walked away.
