The sister of Cristiano Ronaldo has intimated he wasn’t injured as he missed Manchester United’s defeat at Manchester City.
A hip flexor injury saw the 37-year-old ruled out of Sunday’s 4-1 thrashing and Ronaldo flew to his homeland on Sunday before kick-off at The Etihad stadium.
Roy Keane claimed that there was more to Ronaldo’s absence than just injury. Those suspicions were fuelled further by Ronaldo’s sister Katia liking a post on Instagram saying that he wasn’t injured.
The post, from a Ronaldo fan account which is followed by the man himself, emerged on Sunday prior to kick-off and said: “Cristiano Ronaldo is not injured and is not sick. The man is 100%.
“Good morning to you who, like me, are sad and angry because Rangnick decided to ruin our Sunday by taking CR7 out of the derby against Manchester City simply for tactical reasons, to defend himself more in the game.”
