After two consecutive draws in the Premier League against lower caliber teams, namely Burnley (1-1) and Southampton (1-1), Manchester United players find themselves under fire again. And the Mancunian leader, Cristiano Ronaldo (37 years old, 26 games and 14 goals in all competitions with Manchester Utd this season), takes it for his rank because of his current poor performance and questionable leadership.
“We thought he was going to be useful for the youngsters, but he sets a bad example. Like when he runs away to the locker room without applauding the fans after games, a scene seen on many occasions. Why listen to someone who acts like that? (…) He’s a selfish player. Ronaldo only cares about Ronaldo, and if he doesn’t score he’s not happy,” said the former Red Devils midfielder , Paul Inc.
“Ronaldo is a big part of the problem, added another illustrious former Manchester United, Gary Neville. Before Burnley, he made a whole speech about the leader he thinks he is. And after the match, he fled to the locker room. How could this promote team spirit?” The Portuguese will have the opportunity to respond on the field this Tuesday (9:15 p.m.) against Brighton, as part of a late match of the 18th day of the Premier League.
