Will Cristiano Ronaldo Play Today in Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur, Premier League Fixture?
Ronaldo had a rare start in the Premier League 2022-23 when Erik ten Hag entrusted him with leading the attack against Newcastle United in the last weekend. He did fail to score a goal in the game and he might be relegated to the bench. Erik ten Hag, like he did in the past few games, has been using Ronaldo from the bench and that scenario can happen today as well but he might prefer him in the starting XI since a player of his caliber needs to play as much as possible in this pressure match.
For the record, the Portugal star had netted a fine hattrick the last time Manchester United faced Tottenham Hotspur, the previous season. Ronaldo’s three strikes helped the Red Devils defeat Conte’s men. While that would be on the minds of many tonight, whether he starts is a thing that football fans would be eager to see.
