Ralf Rangnick is completing ignoring Cristiano Ronaldo's comments. The former Man Utd manager was mentioned by Ronaldo in his interview with Piers Morgan. The Portuguese said he was not a manager and that he did not even know who he was when the club appointed him. The German prefers not to say anything as he believes it is not for him to comment.

Cristiano Ronaldo has hit out at everyone and everything at Man Utd. In his latest interview, the club, who he said "betrayed" him, and Ten Hag, who he said he will never respect, were not the only ones to be criticised.

The number 7 made comments on Ralf Rangnick. "If you aren't even a coach, how are you going to be the Man Utd boss? I had never heard of him," Ronaldo said.

His former coach, now the Austria boss, responded to him in a press conference before Austria's friendly with Italy. "I've already responded and I won't do it again," he said at the beginning.

Rangnick is clear that who must speak is Cristiano Ronaldo's club. "It's not my job to answer him, that's for Man Utd to do," he stressed,

He is now focussed on his new job because his Man Utd past is history. He said that his Austria will play against Italy and try "to be as strong as possible." "We want to win," he concluded.
