Man Utd has been warned that Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is having a detrimental influence on Rangnick’s squad.
A little about the topic
Carragher told the Red Devils to sell Cristiano Ronaldo to avoid a big mistake when the former Reds defender pointed a critical finger at the CR7 brand. He made his long-awaited return to Old Trafford from Juve Cristiano in the last summer transfer window, spending £20 million to re-sign the striker.
During his first spell in Manchester between 2003 and 2009, Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo became a club legend, scoring 118 goals and winning three PL titles and the Champions League, but his return was somewhat disappointing.
What did Carragher say about Cristiano Ronaldo?
Man Utd finished second in the PL last term but currently sit in fifth under interim manager Rangnick and also suffered early exits to the Carabao Cup and FA Cup. The Portuguese was criticized for his negative body language during a six-game goal drought before returning to the scoresheet in spectacular fashion as Man Utd beat Brighton 2-0 on Tuesday.
Jamie Carragher feels the media circus that follows Cristiano Ronaldo after every show is hindering the overall development of the squad, with the ex-Reds and England star saying Ronaldo’s invaluable contribution to Man Utd’s PL victory over Brighton was another reminder of his incomparable appetite to the goals. But that doesn’t change the reality that Man Utd made the mistake of re-signing Cristiano last summer. It will be more than next season.
According to Jamie Carragher wins Man Utd, loses or Cristiano scores or goes through a mini-goal drought, it’s still too much about the CR7 brand and not enough about the team. Jamie Carragher also said that after Man Utd’s midweek win, Cristiano posted on social media about the buzz around the club. Ronaldo can’t ignore how much of this noise is coming from.
