Keane claims Ronaldo was "angry" at Rangnick in Tottenham win

Cristiano Ronaldo showed his anger towards Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick in his match-winning performance in the3-2 win over Tottenham, according to Roy Keane.

Ronaldo moved onto 807 career goals with a brilliant display at Old Trafford which included his 59th hat-trick.

He opened the scoring with a thunderbolt into the top corner from 25 yards but an Alex Telles handball allowed Harry Kane to equalise from the penalty spot for Spurs.

The 37-year-old gave United the lead once again with a tap-in from Jadon Sancho’s pass before an own goal from Harry Maguire made it 2-2.

Ronaldo struck for a final time in the 81st minute, powering in a header from a corner to move United past Arsenal into fourth place in the Premier League.

It was a classic performance from the Portuguese superstar – and Keane believes it was born out of frustration with his situation at the club.

"That’s where United are at, the quality of both teams wasn’t great,” he said on Sky Sports.

“But it was entertaining and Ronaldo stepped up to the plate. He looked angry today, a lot of aggression, he’s obviously been upset by something.

“But he’s shown today what we’ve seen over the years. He’s brilliant, he’s a genius. The three goals were fantastic, five touches in total, he brings so much to this team. Why people think he can’t play every week or value, we seen it today.”

Keane added: "He was angry today. He did not come back to Man United to sit on the bench.

"This idea [that] he can miss out a few games, obviously he's not going to play every game but when it's Man City away, Chelsea away… those are the games he came back to play.

“Today we saw an aggressive and angry Ronaldo because he's one of the best players to play the game.

“He wants to put the ball in the back of the net and we saw that today, that aggression and desire to score goals, we saw that with the winner, he wanted it more than anyone else when that ball was going into the box.

“That's why he deserves so much credit, and it was good to see him upset and angry.”
