It was in the 71st minute that Manchester United coach Ralf Rangnick chose to replace Cristiano Ronaldo and instead put in midfielder Harry Maguire.
The Portuguese did not like it.
He showed his irritation by gesturing, throwing his jacket on the ground and clearly marking what he liked to be exchanged.
- He asked me "why me, why are you replacing me?".
I replied: "Listen, I have to make decisions for the best of the team".
We had exactly the same situation at Villa Park when we led 2-0 with 15 minutes left to play and I did not want to make the same mistake again, says the team's coach Ralf Rangnick after the match.
"Have no problems"
In the team's last match, they had a 2-0 lead away against Aston Villa.
A lead they neglected in the last 15 minutes when the match ended 2-2.
- It is normal, a striker wants to score.
But he has just returned from a minor injury and it was important to remember that we have another match soon.
I did not expect him to hug me after the change.
I have no problems at all with Cristiano, says the coach.
Manchester United won the match 3-1 against Brentford and is in seventh place in the table.
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored eight goals in 17 appearances.
