Those of Ten Hag did not go from 0-0 vs Newcastle. The Portuguese did everything and left indignant when the DT took him out.
He spent the summer for Manchester United, and the three wins in a row he had (two for the Europa League and one for the Premier) were cut short with an opaque 0-0 at home against Newcastle.
Portuguese started, he scored a goal for an annulled fan and left very angry when Ten Hag decided to replace him.
Ronaldo had not been a starter since last August 13 (vs Brentford; 12 games passed), and this Sunday, he was again part of the 11. He searched, fought and even scored a goal, but it was not worth it. Things have not been going well for CR7 in a season that began between twists and turns, left and stayed, and does not know how to direct it. He is seen as lazy in his football and uncomfortable with his gestures.
Manchester found a goal early in the second half when Ronaldo first took a free kick from Pope, the Newcastle goalkeeper, but it was disallowed because no one had put the ball in play. CR7 and company protested and warned that another player had moved the ball earlier, but none of that happened: 0-0.
The second time that Cristiano was the protagonist of the match was at 28' of the ST when the United manager decided to remove him in the only substitution he made throughout the match (Rashford entered). Ronaldo looked at the poster with his number, and his face changed. He was angry, words in the air, shook his head "no" and sat down on the bench.
As for the game, United came closer to losing it than winning it. The stick saved De Gea more than once. Newcastle had a more oiled walk and ideas to reach the rival goal, although they lacked aim and luck. Manchester remains fifth, with 16 points, one more than Newcastle, but that position may change as the date progresses.
