Fans chant Ronaldo's name during Manchester United's heavy loss against Liverpool - WATCH

Liverpool supporters took a jibe at Manchester United as they chanted Cristiano Ronaldo's name during their Premier League encounter on Sunday, March 5. The chant was particularly aimed at manager Erik ten Hag who didn't have the best of relationship with Ronaldo during his short stay following his arrival at the club. United witnessed their biggest ever loss in the Premier League era as they went down 0-7 to Liverpool.

Riding on the braces from Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez, Liverpool inflicted an embarrassing defeat on the Red Devils on their home turf. The home supporters chanted "Viva Ronaldo" infront of the Dutch manager as the idea was to remind him of the Portuguese superstar who left United to join Al-Nassr this year.

Earlier also Liverpool fans showed their support for Ronaldo when his baby boy passed away and the Merseysiders paid a beautiful tribute at Anfield. Ronaldo even shared a heartfelt note on Instagram after the incident. United eventually lost that match too by 0-4 but the effort was appreciated around the world.
