Premier League – Cristiano Ronaldo furious after being benched, walks-out after Man United held by Everton to a 1-1 draw: Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decision to bench Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t gone down well with the champion footballer.

Ronaldo stormed down the tunnel in frustration after Man United were held to a 1-1 draw against Everton. There was shock before the game when it was announced that the Portuguese superstar would start the game on the bench.

Since Ronaldo made his comeback against Newcastle last month, United have now failed to win four out of their seven games in all competitions.

When asked about Ronaldo’s post-match reaction with the game, his former United teammate Rio Ferdinand said he could ‘understand’ his frustration.

Ferdinand told BT Sport: ‘He is obviosuly Disappointed with the result. He scored five in five, he wanted to continue that form and shoot his team to victory – I understand his frustrations”

Manager on the other hand defended his decision, “You make decisions throughout the season, you’ve got to manage the players’ workload,” said Solskjaer. “The decision was, for me, the correct one today.”

“We have started better than last season, but it is still not what we wanted.”

Manchester United Draws with Everton – Cristiano Ronaldo Furious: There was a trademark Cristiano Ronaldo celebration at Old Trafford on Saturday, even if it didn’t come from the Portugal superstar himself. Everton winger Andros Townsend did a cheeky yet passable imitation of the spin-in-the-air celebration in front of his team’s jubilant fans after scoring the 65th-minute equalizer in a 1-1 draw at Manchester United.

With Ronaldo starting on the bench and not entering until the 57th, United produced another sloppy performance but managed to take the lead through Anthony Martial in the 43rd following an exquisite touch and pass by Bruno Fernandes.

Everton was dangerous on the counterattack throughout the game as United’s concentration and discipline waned in its third game in an eight-day span — and less than 72 hours after an energy-sapping home win against Villarreal in the Champions League that was sealed by Ronaldo’s stoppage-time goal.

Manchester United Draws with Everton – Cristiano Ronaldo FuriousAnd the hosts were picked off on a break by Everton that resulted in Townsend’s goal, as Fred failed to gather possession in two attempted tackles in midfield following a corner by United before Abdoulaye Doucoure charged through to set up Townsend.

It was a fifth goal of the season for the winger, who has been revitalized since his move on a free transfer after leaving Crystal Palace.

Ronaldo also has five goals this season after joining United for a second spell, but couldn’t add to that total in a quiet cameo after coming off the bench. He had one shot but it flashed wide off his left foot.

United dropped points for the third time this season and a week after losing 1-0 at home to Aston Villa.

Everton looked to have snatched the win when Yerry Mina tapped in from Tom Davies’ pass in the 75th, again as United’s defenders switched off, but the goal was ruled out for a narrow offside.
