Ralf Rangnick is guilty of falling foul of something Zinedine Zidane always tried to avoid when it came to managing Cristiano Ronaldo.

The iconic Frenchman was Ronaldo's manager while the pair were together at Real Madrid and despite the Portuguese superstar's ludicrous goal-scoring exploits, he did not play every game under Zidane.

Speaking after a La Liga clash with Atletico Madrid four years ago, Zidane explained: "Cristiano is Cristiano, he has been this player all his life, scoring 50 goals a season. It is true that there is nobody else who does that.

"But others can score, have done recently, and we must think about the positives. It's better to have Cristiano with us.

"It was just (to rest him). We have many games, that's it. Sometimes he needs to rest. These days he needs that. He feels better every day, you can see it."

Zidane's comments are in stark contrast to the reality Ronaldo currently finds himself in at Old Trafford, where the 37-year-old is more often than not required to play for the majority of every single game.

Of the 23 Premier League games Ronaldo has been available for since his triumphant return to Old Trafford, the Portugal skipper has started 20 of them.
