The Manchester United boss, Ralf Rangnick, says Cristiano Ronaldo needs to brace up to score more goals to aid the team’s campaign for a top-four spot on the league table.
Rangnick also noted that the blame is not met for Ronaldo alone but shared amongst the attacking players of the club.
The former Juventus player has not scored in his last five games and according to available records, this is his worst goalless streak for the players since 2013. Also, Ronaldo missed a spot-kick against Middlesbrough in FA Cup fourth round at Old Trafford.
Rangnick said, “It’s not only about Cristiano Ronaldo,” Rangnick told the press. “He should score more goals, it’s obvious.
“I think we are creating enough chances and enough opportunities in the last couple of games but we just didn’t score enough goals, but this is not only an issue with Cristiano, it’s an issue with the other players,
especially the offensive players. We don’t score enough goals.
“We are fully aware this will be a difficult one,”
“Obviously, I watched the game at Spurs during the week and they really
deserved to win.
“They tactically played at a very high level and this will be a challenge for us, but I’m sure we’ll be up for that challenge,” he added.
Meanwhile, Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Burnley on Tuesday, leaves them one point away from a Champions League spot in sixth, although two of their main rivals Arsenal and Tottenham have games in hand.
Furthermore, Rangnick is already perturbed with his next Premier League game which is against Southampton on Saturday.
