Cristiano Ronaldo lost his marbles during Manchester United vs Liverpool as he kicked out at Curtis Jones who was lying on the ground
The atmosphere around Old Trafford as Liverpool walked all over Manchester United on Sunday was extremely hostile. Perturbed by their team’s performance on the day and irked by the Liverpool fans persistently rubbing in the defeat in their faces, the Manchester United players and fans needed little to lose their marbles.
Paul Pogba who was brought on in the second half ended up getting a red card for a challenge on Naby Keita. It was a deranged tackle, one which saw the Liverpool midfield leave the Old Trafford pitch on a stretcher.
Cristiano Ronaldo Escapes Red Card After Horrid Tackle On Curtis Jones
However, that wasn’t the only bit of violence the Manchester United players indulged in on the day. Cristiano Ronaldo was captured persistently kicking out at Curtis Jones as he failed to win the ball back from the Liverpool player after failing to win the ball from him.

Given the number of times Ronaldo went onto kick out at the Liverpool player, it was bemusing to see that the player went away scot free with not even a VAR check on him. The incident took place shortly before the end of the first half with Liverpool leading 4-0 on the night.
While the player was fortuitous to escape, his team wasn’t quite so lucky. The side’s persistent mistakes were ripped apart by a ruthless and relentless Liverpool side who ended up swinging to an easy 5-0 win on the day. The noise for Ole to get the sack has increased in the aftermath of the defeat with the Norwegian completely inept at putting to bed the side’s plight.
