Ralf Rangnick is urged not to drop 'freak' Cristiano Ronaldo over Manchester United's hectic festive period by ex-star Dwight Yorke - with interim manager told: 'start your best players... don't complicate it'

Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick has been urged not to drop Cristiano Ronaldo during the club's upcoming hectic run of fixtures by Dwight Yorke.

The evergreen Ronaldo was given the night off for United's Champions League draw with Young Boys, but has been played heavily across the course of the season.

Even though he continues to defy his doubters at the age of 36, there are signs that the superstar is beginning to slow, although Yorke says he must start every game.
