MANCHESTER UNITED are taking on Leicester City today in a game of huge European implications.

But United star man Cristiano Ronaldo is playing no part of the match at Old Trafford.

Ronaldo played for Portugal in the week but misses out

Why is Cristiano Ronaldo not playing?

Cristiano Ronaldo misses out against Leicester with a reported illness.

The Portuguese superstar was missing from the Manchester United squad as they arrived at The Lowry Hotel earlier in the day.

It means Ralf Rangnick has faced a striker crisis with Edinson Cavani also ruled out through injury.

Ronaldo helped his country to seal World Cup qualification this week as his team-mate Bruno Fernandes scored twice to down North Macedonia.

He also played in Portugal’s play-off semi final victory over Turkey.

Man Utd currently sit four points behind Arsenal and have played one game more.
