Alarm bells are ringing inside Manchester United and all the cub fans are wondering, is there a fight between Cristiano Ronaldo and Ralf Rangnick? And the doubt has been fueled by several reasons.

For example, according to the Red Devil's coach, CR7 was not fielded in the match against City because of "hip flexor problems", but after the player did not stay to support his team and decided to travel to Portugal, the doubts have been increasing. 

Why it is thought that there could be a conflict between Cristiano Ronaldo and Ralf Rangnick

Everyone expected the Portuguese player to be lined up by his club to face a match as important as the Manchester Derby

One of the most historic matches in world soccer, however, the surprise came just when Rangnick announced the call-up list, among which CR7 was not included. 

Faced with questions from the press, the coach said:

"I have to believe my medical department. Our doctor came to see me on Friday morning before training and said that Cristiano Ronaldo could not train because of hip flexor problems. On Saturday it was the same, that's why he couldn't make it to the match", an answer with which the press was satisfied, until the start of the match.

And that was just when the doubts increased because the Portuguese, instead of staying to cheer his team from the stands in such an important match, preferred to travel to Portugal

And according to the English press, this trip did not go down well within the club, even at the board level, as they expected to see the Portuguese star supporting the Red Devils, in a match that in the end, they lost 4-1, with Kevin de Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez's braces. 

Social networks: another reason for the suspected feud between Ronaldo and Rangnick

So far the nature of CR7's trip to his country is unknown, but what is known is that social networks have been gradually giving strength to the versions that claim that between the player and his coach the relationship is not good. 

For example, a comment on social networks stated that "Cristiano was at 100%, he did not play for simple technical and tactical reasons", a comment that received alike.

But it was not just any like, but one from Katia Aveiro, the player's sister, so the rumors of the fight in the Manchester United locker room gained strength. 

It should be noted that this is not the first time this season that a conflict of this nature occurs in a Premier League club, as it is enough to remember that until recently, Thomas Tuchel and Romelu Lukaku had a conflict that has already been resolved.

While it remains to be confirmed whether there is a dispute between Rangnick and Cristiano, what is a fact is that the trip to Portugal did not go down well with the club, which could cause problems for the player.
