Cristiano Ronaldo has been accused of making a ‘coward’s challenge’ during Manchester United’s humbling Premier League defeat to Manchester City.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner struggled to make an impact as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side slipped to a 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Man City took an early lead through an Eric Bailly own goal, and Bernardo Silva put the visitors 2-0 up on the stroke of half-time.
Ronaldo cut a frustrated figure and appeared to take his anger out on Manchester City’s Kevin de Bruyne late on with a rough tackle.
‘That’s a cheap one,’ former England and City winger Sinclair told talkSPORT.
‘The challenge initially went in from Fernandes, and as he’s down on the floor after being fouled, Ronaldo launches into that.
‘I know it’s only one foot, but he’s jumped in with his studs showing. I thought it was a little bit naughty.
‘It’s a little bit of frustration, but it’s not OK. I hope De Bruyne is OK because it’s a really poor challenge.
‘It’s a coward’s challenge. He’s got away with a couple, the one with [Liverpool’s] Curtis Jones as well. He’s got a temper because he’s a winner. He doesn’t like losing.’
