Legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been caught on camera criticising Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after Saturday's 1-1 draw against Everton. Solskjaer chose to rest Ronaldo and Paul Pogba as United dropped more points against weakened opposition at Old Trafford.
Adidas and Manchester United have launched their official 2021/22 home jersey, putting a modern twist on their classic club styles.
After netting a 95th-minute winner against Villarreal on Wednesday, many fans were shocked to see Ronaldo's name missing when team news dropped on Saturday morning.
Express Sport understands the 36-year-old was livid with Solskjaer after being dropped to the bench, despite scoring five goals in five games since his summer return.
Solskjaer brought Ronaldo on in the 57th minute as United looked to extend their 1-0 lead, but he couldn't inspire the hosts.
But eight minutes later, Andros Townsend equalised for the visitors and performed the Portuguese icon's 'Siu' celebration, to no reply.

Ronaldo's decision to storm down the tunnel after the final whistle didn't go unnoticed and led to questions about his relationship with Solskjaer.
Ex-United captain Gary Neville has criticised Ronaldo's post-match demeanour, suggesting it placed more focus on Solskjaer's wrongdoings.
Neville said: "I watched the game, and I watched him walk off. I can't say I like it. Is Cristiano upset when he doesn't play? Yes. Is he upset when he doesn't score? Yes.
"Is Cristiano annoyed as hell when the team doesn't win? Of course. We know these things; he doesn't need to prove that.
"He walked off the pitch, muttering to himself, which in some ways throws the questions up in the air.
"What's he saying? Who's he annoyed with? And it can only come back to the manager.
"So I do think actions like that – Ronaldo is smart enough to know – will bring real pressure, more pressure on Ole.
"Cristiano won't always score and can't play every single game, but I think if he's going to walk off like that, it's going to put immense pressure on Ole.
"There's no doubt the talk after the game was about the manager."
