Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick should DROP Cristiano Ronaldo from his team, says Paul Merson and insists 'something is NOT right' at Old Trafford as he predicts Red Devils will miss out on a top four finish

Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo should be dropped from the starting XI, claims Paul Merson - who believes something is 'not right' at the club.

Ronaldo was the Red Devils' fairytale signing this summer as he made a stunning return to Old Trafford from Juventus for around £12million, and while the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has made his impact felt with 14 goals, he has attracted criticism over his attitude and work rate.

The 36-year-old scored in Manchester United's last game - a 3-1 win over Burnley - but Sky Sports pundit Merson has still been left unimpressed by the former Real Madrid star, who stormed down the tunnel after the club's 1-1 draw against Newcastle last week.
