Concerns over Cristiano Ronaldo's inability to fit into Ralf Rangnick's plans at Manchester United are slammed as 'absolute NONSENSE' by Carlton Palmer as ex-England star insists '36 is not an old age if you're fit'

Concerns over Cristiano Ronaldo's ability to fit into Ralf Rangnick's system at Manchester United have been described as 'absolute nonsense' by ex-England star Carlton Palmer.

United appointed Rangnick - dubbed the Godfather of the Gegenpress - as interim boss earlier this month, with the 63-year-old tasked with hauling the club up the Premier League table.

Rangnick's appointment was met with concerns among some fans for Ronaldo, 36, with the German typically favouring younger players to carry out his pressing style.
