Cristiano Ronaldo's angry post-match reaction after Bruno Fernandes penalty miss as Man United lose

Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly punched the corner flag as he left the field after Man United's shock home defeat to Aston Villa this afternoon.

The game was a hard fought affair with little in it before it exploded into life in the final five minutes, Kortney Hause guiding his header beyond David de Gea to spark wild celebrations in the away end.

Bruno Fernandes had the chance to salvage a point for United, but he smashed his last-gasp spot-kick high and wide as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men saw their unbeaten run come to an end.

The late penalty miss only adds another layer to the recent public war of words between Solskjaer and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp over the amount of penalties United are awarded.

In other United woes, captain Harry Maguire appeared to injure himself during a collision with Danny Ings and though he played on for around five minutes after the incident, the England international looked in discomfort the entire time.

While Luke Shaw limped down the tunnel in scenes that will no doubt worry Solskjaer, especially as match-day two of the Champions League group stage is just around the corner.
