Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United have not gotten off to a great start in the Premier League this season, and his frustration appeared to show Monday ahead of his match against Liverpool.

Ronaldo, who was on the bench to start for Manchester United, greeted Sky Sports broadcasters Gary Neville and Roy Keane. He went around Jamie Carragher to greet Keane. Dave Jones poked fun at Carragher for having a "nice conversation" with Ronaldo before the soccer star went back to warm up.

Ronaldo was a former teammate of Neville and Keane, but former English soccer star Rio Ferdinand believes one of the world’s best players purposely snubbed Carragher.

"I think Cristiano is very aware of the Liverpool-Man United rivalry," he said on his YouTube show "FIVE." "That would’ve been one of the things but knowing Cristiano, I know Jamie Carragher has been very vocal about Cristiano’s the problem and stuff like that.

"Trust me, Cristiano would’ve seen those comments and walking over there thinking ‘I’ll just let this guy know, he needs to calm down’ and humiliate him, show him up - whatever way you want to dress it up live on TV.

"Cristiano is very calculated, he knows what’s going on. He’s not somebody who sits at home and switches off."
