Garnacho Debuts for “Red Devils”
In the Premier League duel between the German coaches Ralf Rangnick and Thomas Tuchel, Manchester United wrested a point from favorite Chelsea. Thanks to a goal by Cristiano Ronaldo (62nd minute), the “Red Devils” drew 1-1 (0-0) against the 2021 Champions League winner in their own stadium.
Marcus Alonso (60th) had put the third in the table ahead, but Ronaldo immediately equalized for Man United. With his 17th league goal of the season, the Portuguese moved level with Tottenham’s Heung-min Son to second on the scorers’ list. In addition, the 37-year-old has now been responsible for eight of Manchester United’s last nine goals, who remain in sixth place.
“It wasn’t just the goal he scored, it was his whole performance, his attitude that sets him apart. How many times he helped in our own half. At the age of 37 it’s not normal for a player like him to do something like that. He showed that today and if he plays like he does today, he can still be a great help to this team,” said Rangnick, who reacted evasively to the reports about a possible engagement with the Austrian national team “Sky Sports”. . “National coach of Austria? I’m more than happy to help Manchester United. I can confirm that I will definitely continue with Man United and the advisory role.”
