If you didn't think Cristiano Ronaldo's time at Manchester United was coming to an end before the Manchester derby, you probably do now.

As Fred came on to replace Jadon Sancho in the 70th minute on Sunday afternoon - becoming United's fifth and final substitution of the match - Ronaldo didn't try and hide his anger.

He was, understandably given the circumstances, furious that Erik ten Hag had made all of his permitted substitutes and still opted to leave him on the bench.

With the Reds trailing 5-1 at the time, the match, and any hope of a United comeback, was over. And still, with the United boss making the decision to leave the Portuguese on the bench, it felt like a significant moment.
