Cristiano Ronaldo cut a dejected figure at full-time following Manchester United's goalless draw with Watford, a result which dealt their top four bid a major blow.
The superstar was guilty of delivering a below-par performance at Old Trafford and he once again failed to score, with the hosts unable to find the elusive breakthrough.
Ronaldo was even spotted directing his frustrations at team-mate Bruno Fernandes after he opted not to pass to him, a breakdown in attack which saw United fall short.
Ralf Rangnick's side mustered up 22 shots at Watford's goal during the clash, and their misfiring forward agonisingly saw an effort ruled out for offside.
It was no surprise, then, that the veteran let his dismay burst to the surface.
After the final whistle, he placed his hands on his hips and shook his head, while several other United players - including Fernandes - looked similarly shellshocked.
Interim boss Rangnick was left disappointed with his team's showing, meanwhile.
'Our job as coaches is to help the team to create enough chances,' he said.
'The number of clear chances we had today had to be enough to win a game like this.'
United next face Manchester City in the Premier League, with a testing run made up of clashes with Tottenham, Atletico Madrid and Liverpool also to come.

Most players in this squad are selfish and they do not pass the ball to Ronaldo when it maters most… they are responsible for his poor performances

oldbaldo should be ashamed of himself for getting paid 25millions per annum. oldnaldo is a waste of time and should be discarded ASAP. juventus was right to get rid of this old guy. cr7 us an imposter who is hungry for money. oldnaldo out.

why everybody talk about ronaldo should be bench next game bcause he did not score. its not about ronaldo. its about team. they do not have something that united hv a long time ago. even before this ronaldo at the bench. united still goalless. the true and the fact that all united fans should accept is there is no team spirit in united team. not to blame on ronaldo. we should blame all the players except goal keeper.

But they sign players that are not relevant to the club with huge amount
Ye that's the point wasting money lack of knowledge they probably don't even know half our players and they come to watch 1 match in a season

Ronaldo should be benched or sub if he can't score like any other player and you don't show your frustration on and of the pitch..no one is greater than the club itself as we always say ggmu
