Manchester United manager, Michael Carrick has come out to explain why Cristiano Ronaldo was left out of his starting XI vs Chelsea. He recently revealed that he only had to made a few tweaks and changes from the UCL clash.
According to him, Cristiano is clearly MUFC’s standout name, but gameplans and ideas require tough decisions by managers every now and then.
Carrick added that Ronaldo took the decision in good fate and was ready to support the players 100 per cent before coming on.
His words, “A few tweaks and changes from the other night, to change things up a bit.”
“Cristiano is probably our standout name, but it’s just gameplan, ideas. I had a good chat with Cristiano actually, he was great, and we’ve decided to go like that today. Really looking forward to the game.”
“It’s a decision just to pick a team, to be honest. I don’t think it needs more drama than that.”
“Everyone is fine, all the boys who have come out of the team have been terrific around the place, Cristiano included, fantastic with the boys, supporting them 100 per cent and ready to come on if and when needed.”
“We’re happy with the team we’ve picked, for sure. We’ve come here to try and win the game, like we do every single game.”
