Soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo’s noted love of supercars may have to be put on hold following the arrival of his new interim manager at Manchester United, Ralf Rangnick.
The U.K.’s Mirror reports that the 63-year-old manager has previously taken extreme measures to get the best out of his team. While at RB Leipzig, he ordered his players to park their personal cars for less flashy company cars provided by the team.
Now that he’s at Manchester United, Rangnick’s peculiar managing techniques may mean that Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates could face the same stern rules. That would have a particular impact on the Portuguese player given his noted love of powerful cars.

The soccer star is known to own two Lamborghini Aventadors, a Rolls Royce Cullinan, a Chevrolet Camaro SS, a Ferrari F12 TDF, a McLaren Senna, and he may be the owner of a highly limited Bugatti Centodieci. He’s such a fan of cars, in fact, that his girlfriend bought him a Brabus G-Class for his birthday in 2020.
The analytical manager is noted for his coaching style and was the first one in Germany to hire a video analyst. He also convinced his previous team, RB Leipzig, to invest £1 million ($1.3 million USD at current conversion rates) in “Soccerbot,” a state-of-the-art simulator that allows players to immerse themselves in a 360-degree simulation of a game scenario via projectors.
He has also made it clear that a new fitness regimen will be implemented at the club, meaning that the players will be required to live by his onerous rules. Whether that means giving up the flashy cars that are apparently all the rage with soccer players remains to be seen, but Mancunians will no doubt hope that it isn’t a step too far for the legendary Ronaldo.
