Cristiano Ronaldo "not happy" after Ralf Rangnick makes controversial Man Utd decision

Cristiano Ronaldo is not happy with Ralf Rangnick's decision to drop him for Manchester United's draw with Burnley.

That's according to former Manchester United midfielder Luke Chadwick, who says the Portugal international wants to play every game for the Red Devils.

Ronaldo was named on the bench at Turf Moor on Tuesday night as United took the lead against the Clarets through Paul Pogba.

The 37-year-old eventually came on for Edinson Cavani on 68 minutes and was on the pitch when Jay Rodriguez got the better of Harry Maguire to rescue a point for Burnley.

Ronaldo stormed off down the tunnel in frustration after the final whistle was blown.

And Chadwick believes a lot of the forward's anger stems from Rangnick's decision to leave him out of the starting XI.

"I'm sure Cristiano Ronaldo's not happy," Chadwick told Caught Offside.

"He's going to want to start every game. He won't see it as him being a player who's getting a bit older and needs a bit more rest. He's one of the best players that's ever lived, and he'll feel he should start every game.

"I'm sure he'll be frustrated, he had a couple of opportunities but didn't have a huge impact.

"But I don't think there's anything to worry about in terms of the fans' feelings about Ronaldo, he's a living legend at the club. He plays on the edge and if he's unhappy he's not afraid to show it, so I don't see it as a massive problem.

"He's a born winner, he wants to win, so there's probably frustration at not starting the game and then how the game's gone, but you wouldn't want to change anything about him."
