Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick has doubts over Cristiano Ronaldo spearheading the team's attack next season and the interim manager's patience with forward is wearing thin, according to reports.
The Portugal international, 37, is suffering through the worst period of his career, having managed just one goal in his last 10 appearances for the Red Devils.
Despite his dip in confidence, Rangnick has been reluctant to drop the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

The German has dropped Ronaldo to the bench in three Premier League games this term but is said to have avoided doing so more often due to United's thin pickings in attack.
