Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo continues to be the main topic of discussion at the Red Devils and English coach Gary Neville can only see one messy end to the saga.
How was everything?
A very productive week for Manchester United brought four points from games against the Spurs and the Blues. Although, even after Casemiro’s late draw at Stamford Bridge, Cristiano still dominated the conversation after being dropped for leaving Old Trafford early during the Tottenham win. Gary – who often supported his former teammate – is trying to defend his recent behavior and agrees with the way Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag handled the situation.
What did Neville say about Cristiano Ronaldo?
Gary Neville said that for him, Ten Hag had no choice, no option. Cristiano Ronaldo has left the ground twice, they can’t do that, according to the English coach, his IG post saying he respects their teammates and sometimes in the heat of the moment they do something wrong. On the eve of the pre-season, he asked for a transfer, increasing the list of things. Gary Neville says it’s a messy ending and Erik tries to take control.
A little about the topic
The likes of Irish footballer Roy Kean and other former Red Devils stars may not want to hear it, but statistics show the team has been more effective in Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence this season. Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford were confident to lead the line ahead of Cristiano, who has been limited to just two Premier League starts so far.
What will happen after this for Cristiano Ronaldo?
It is not easy to answer this question. Cristiano Ronaldo will certainly go to the World Cup with Portugal and will almost certainly retain his place in the front line. However, it is still unclear whether the Portuguese will still be a player of the Red Devils, the end of the January transfer window is coming.
