Man United are NOT missing Cristiano Ronaldo, claims NBC pundit Danny Higginbotham as he says Jadon Sancho would not have scored against Leicester had the Portugal star been 'on the pitch'

Manchester United are not missing Cristiano Ronaldo, claims former club defender Danny Higginbotham, adding that Jadon Sancho would not have scored the game's decisive goal against Leicester, had the Portuguese superstar started 'on the pitch'.

Boss Erik Ten Hag named an attacking front four, consisting of England internationals Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford, as well as youngster Anthony Elanga and Bruno Fernandes, on Thursday evening.

It's the third game in a row in which Ronaldo, 37, has come off the bench. The last time the Portuguese started a game for the Red Devils was in a 4-0 defeat against Brentford.
