Premier League is in the full steam right now, and every point counts as leading football teams battle for their place at the top. Manchester United has been struggling this season, but their latest face-off with Chelsea resulted in a draw, thanks to the team’s top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo. After a goalless first half, Chelsea took the lead thanks to Marcos Alonso’s fantastic opener, but their celebration was short-lived. Rolando evened out the score just two minutes later, ending the game in a 1-1 draw. The United interim manager Ralf Rangnick discussed Cristiano Ronaldo's future after the match and reminded reporters he still has another year of contract left. No matter what he decides, Rangnick believes he shouldn’t be the team’s only reliable striker. “It is also important to find out what he wants, if he wants to stay. Right now, we very much rely on Cristiano, he also showed a good performance when Chelsea were in possession. But there has to be a focus on bringing in a couple of new strikers for sure," said Rangnick. This victory brings United three points behind Tottenham and five points behind Arsenal. Manchester City is still leading Premier League rankings, closely followed by Liverpool, while Chelsea sits in the third spot.
