EKO HOT BLOG reports that Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has admitted that his team missed Cristiano Ronaldo’s finishing prowess after a draw 1-1 with Chelsea on Saturday.
The Red Devils dominated the first half but failed to convert their chances at Stamford Bridge.
The hosts then took the lead through Jorginho’s penalty, before Casemiro’s late header ensured they got a share of the points.
Ronaldo was dropped for the match, after he stormed off from the bench at Old Trafford, as United beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 on Wednesday.
Ten Hag told Sky Sports: “As always, he [Ronaldo] can score goals and he is valuable for us. We need him, it’s clear and you see it also in this game. He can finish off, that’s quite obvious.
“I think I have said enough about that situation. Let’s focus on this game, it was a good game for my team and I have to compliment my team.
“If you can deliver this after four games in 10 days and then dictate this first half, the second half were really well organised and you fight back, I think that has to be the focus.”
