  • Manchester United recorded their third successive victory in pre-season as they comfortably dispatched Crystal Palace on Tuesday, July 19
  • Goals from Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho handed the Red Devils a 3-1 victory over the Eagles
  • The results have excited most United faithful who believe the new attacking trio will do a better job ahead of the new season without Ronaldo

Fans of Premier League club Manchester United are on cloud nine as the Red Devils record their third successive win in pre-season.

The record holders of the English elite division have been in purple patch form since pre-season kick-started - recording three wins in three games with their latest coming against fellow Premier League rivals Crystal Palace.

Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho appear to be in sync leading the attack while the rest of the team continues to play the 'Ten Hag' which has excited fans of the club.

The current attacking trio have more than covered for the absence of superstar hitman Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been excused from the pre-season tour due to 'family reasons'.

All three have scored in at least two of the three matches played with Martial, in particular, appearing to have rediscovered his mojo following a couple of underwhelming campaigns at Old Trafford.

Following their most recent 3-1 triumph over Crystal Palace, a cross-section of the supporter base is excited about Ten Hag's project which presently does not include Ronaldo, who is reportedly angling for a move away from the club.

Below are some of the comments of Man United fans:

@learn_samuel tweeted:

"These guys are really really good. Ronaldo should better find a team before the season starts because he can’t make it to Manchester United's first eleven again."

@AdamMcKola added:

"Ronaldo gonna struggle to get in the team at the rate Martial is scoring."

Another user @UtdJChinkZ9 says he preferred the attacking triumvirate of Rashford, Martial and Sancho to Ronaldo.

"I love Ronaldo, he's the goat, but honestly, I'd rather see this front 3"

@jstones001 corroborated @UtdJChinkZ9's thoughts:

"Am sure Anthony martial will bench Ronaldo."

@LilMoGh joined the bandwagon in suggesting Man United will be better off without Ronaldo.

"Manchester United is really looking scary this pre-season … hope it’s not just a pre-season wonder… they are so Organized without Ronaldo, to be honest"

The biggest setback hindering Ronaldo's potential move to Atletico Madrid

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Cristiano Ronaldo’s potential move to Atletico Madrid is reportedly being hampered by the Spanish giants’ inability to afford his wages.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner’s transfer options are slimming by the day, and Atletico Madrid was considered one of his last resorts.

Daily Star's reports indicated Ronaldo’s representatives were engaged in positive talks with Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone over a potential transfer.
