Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo will not play against Liverpool in the Premier League later on Tuesday following the death of his newborn son a day earlier, the club said.

The Manchester United star was expecting twins with partner Georgina Rodriguez but revealed on social media that she had given birth to a girl while their son died.

"Family is more important than everything, and Ronaldo is supporting his loved ones at this immensely difficult time," United said in a statement on the club website.

"As such, we can confirm that he will not feature in the match against Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday evening, and we underline the family’s request for privacy."

On Monday, Ronaldo said, "It is with our deepest sadness that we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away."

"It is the greatest pain that any parent can feel," he continued in the statement.

"Only the birth of our daughter gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness."

"We want to thank the doctors and nurses for their care and support. We are devastated by this loss and request privacy at this difficult time. Baby, you are our angel. "We will always love you," Ronaldo concluded the statement, signing off with his and Georgina’s names.
