While it is true that Ronaldo’s time at Juventus coincided with a decline in their European results, his status at United has also lost some of its lustre. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner may have to swallow his satisfaction and stay at Old Trafford. This article will take a closer look at the situation at Old Trafford.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s options are dwindling
As a result, Manchester City have won the race to sign Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland while Liverpool have spent up to EUR100 million on Benfica’s Darwin Nunez. In a bid to sign a star player, Ronaldo has previously played for Real Madrid from 2009 to 2018, but is unlikely to return to the Spanish capital after Karim Benzema’s superb form last season. PSG are also unlikely to sign Ronaldo but Atletico Madrid and Liverpool could be in the running to sign the Portuguese.
The teasing news comes amid reports that several top European clubs have turned their backs on the Portuguese star. Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are among the teams that have refused to sign Ronaldo – with fears of his work-rate and age. However, United’s pre-season tour of Asia has uncovered some intriguing facts. United have scored 11 goals in victories over Liverpool, Melbourne Victory and Crystal Palace – highlighting the dynamism of the side’s front three.
The former Juventus and AC Milan forward has made it clear that he wants a move away from Manchester United. Despite the fact that his contract with Manchester United runs until 2020, he has already indicated his desire to leave after two seasons. He would have expected top golf clubs to jostle for him – but this was not to be – Manchester United only qualified for the Europa League this season. Consequently, there are few options for Ronaldo as the European elite are turning their backs on Manchester.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s time at Juventus coincided with decline in European results
One of the key questions that have been asked about Cristiano Ronaldo’s time at Juventus is whether the player will reinvent himself at some point during his Juventus career. The Portuguese international spent three years at Juventus but his role has largely been as a right-sided centre-forward. He has scored only one goal this season and has failed to push the team through a European game as he has done at Real Madrid.
The first half of Cristiano Ronaldo’s tenure at Juventus coincided with a dramatic decline in the club’s European results. He was ineffective in the first leg, hitting seven shots and walking off the pitch without scoring a single goal. Juventus were subsequently eliminated by Atletico Madrid. Meanwhile, he has been linked with numerous scandals – including a rape scandal and tax charges – despite paying his dues. In short, Cristiano Ronaldo was the right player for Juventus at the wrong time.
Despite the lackluster European results, Juventus are expected to win the Italian league this season and make a deep run in the UEFA Champions League. If the club can retain Ronaldo, it will be able to attract a new talent to bolster its squad. Cristiano Ronaldo has proved to be a great addition to the Juventus brand, but it also coincided with a drop in European results.
While Ronaldo’s time at Juventus coincided in the club’s decline in European results, he did manage to score more goals, but the team’s mediocre results in the Champions League has also been a cause for concern. The season that followed coincided with his decline in the Champions League. He scored 101 goals in 134 appearances, but that number is not going to be enough to lift them into the Champions League.
In addition to Ronaldo’s inflated numbers, Juventus also struggled to accommodate him on the pitch. Maurizio Sarri had arrived as the new systems coach at Juventus, and asked Ronaldo to play as a false nine in a 4-3-3 formation. This proved difficult, particularly with the problems that accompanied the Italian’s midfield. And while Ronaldo was still able to play, his team’s midfield was incapable of competing for top honours.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s status at United has also lost some of its lustre
Aside from being the ‘Cristiano Ronaldo’ of European football, Ronaldo’s status at Manchester United has likewise deteriorated, with the Portuguese superstar’s injury woes making him ineffective in the past few seasons. He has scored just 15 goals in 29 Premier League and Champions League games. But, there is another side to the story: Manchester United’s squad needs a major overhaul, and Ronaldo’s status at the club has also waned a bit.
Despite the fact that he scored 118 goals for Manchester United during his six seasons at Old Trafford, his status at the club has declined since his departure in 2009. Having been a key player at United, his position in the team is in doubt, and the club has to prepare for matches without him. However, they did win the Roses Derby in his absence.
While United won the League Cup and FA Cup in successive seasons, the status of Ronaldo at the club has also waned. Despite his goal-scoring ability, the club still plays with 10 players, and it has become a reliance on the Portuguese star, who is often unavailable. Furthermore, his absence has led to a decrease in the number of shots on target, and that has made United’s game slow and labourious.
Despite his recent fall in the league, a recent report suggests that United are attempting to keep Ronaldo at the club. Although United are unlikely to make an official offer to a third-world club, they have not yet ruled out the possibility of a sell-out. Despite the fallout from his move, there are a few pitfalls to look out for. Among these are the potential for an injury to Ronaldo or the absence of a key player.
The news that the former Juventus player will be leaving the club has caused a stir in the football world. United’s fans are eager to see the Portuguese superstar go. While they would not mind a change of scenery, they will certainly miss their former superstar. If they let Ronaldo go, it would expedite the rebuilding process and accelerate Ten Hag’s plans.
Cristiano Ronaldo may have to swallow his satisfaction and live at Old Trafford
The maelstrom of statistics and records that defines the Ronaldo phenomenon is a tyranny of numbers. Supporters of the Portuguese forward are quick to trumpet Ronaldo’s stats and claims of supremacy. These numbers are seen as a marker of greatness – not something to be admired, but rather aggressively imposed on others. But does this mean that the Portuguese forward can’t live at Old Trafford?
If Ronaldo were to leave Manchester United, he would have to give up his’satisfaction’ to move to Real Madrid. Atletico Madrid is a better option, but he may have to live at Old Trafford for the sake of his family and reputation. The player who has lived at Old Trafford for two spells now wants to return to the same club he made his name.
The move to Manchester United is a huge coup for the club, and the world’s most coveted player may have to go through it. After all, Manchester United are a top club and a great chance for Ronaldo to stay for several seasons. However, his family’s counter-strategy could backfire and leave him looking unsuitable. They’ve also mobilised a counter-strategy to dissuade fans from pursuing their dreams. Lianne Sykes, who has worked with the Portuguese international, believes that he’ll have a personal shopper for the first season of his Manchester United career.
A new restaurant has opened in the Spinningfields District of Manchester, which has a wealthy clientele. Moreover, the famous footballer could dine at the Rosso restaurant, owned by Rio Ferdinand. There are rave reviews for its signature dish, Spaghetti All-Aragosta. In fact, the restaurant is situated behind a private car park. Some footballers often avoid being photographed in front of the restaurant because of the influx of photographers.
