Ronaldo should have started against Everton – Sir Alex Ferguson

United have now won just two of their last six matches and Ronaldo looked frustrated at full-time on Saturday, walking straight down the tunnel while muttering to himself.

Ferguson – who won 13 Premier League titles during his reign at United – was in attendance at Old Trafford on Saturday and was filmed after the game talking to UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov.

In a video posted on social media by the Russian, Ferguson is heard saying Everton were given a boost “when they saw Ronaldo wasn’t playing.”

After Nurmagomedov – who retired with a 29-0 record last year, points out Ronaldo came on in the second half, the Scot replied: “Yeah I know… but you should always start with your best players.”
