Lacking efficiency and confidence since the beginning of the year, Cristiano Ronaldo is going through a difficult period at Manchester United. According to the English press, his trainer Ralf Rangnick is beginning to seriously doubt the Portuguese striker.
Ronaldo fails to meet Rangnick’s expectations
But what happens to Cristiano Ronaldo? Accustomed to stacking goals for many years, the 37-year-old striker has only found the net once in 2022. That is only one goal scored in the last ten games played with Manchester United.
Rangnick has doubts about Ronaldo
For the first time in his career, the Portuguese international seems to have lost confidence. His face no longer hides his frustration on the lawn and his lack of success, the image of his post against Watford (0-0) last weekend, seems to impact his morale. So much so that the fivefold Ballon d’Or fails to raise his head. What did not escape his trainer Ralf Rangnick.
According to the Manchester Evening News, the Red Devils coach is beginning to grow impatient with his star’s disappointing performance despite the confidence he places in him by keeping him in his starting XI. For the moment, the German has not yet planned to send him to the bench. But he now has big doubts that CR7 is the right player to lead the Mancunian attack next season.
A departure this summer?
Rangnick will not make this decision alone, because his interim will stop at the end of the season and a new coach will arrive next summer. But his opinion will be listened to since he will remain at the club in a consulting role. And everything suggests, given the information from England in recent weeks, that the new adventure between MU and Ronaldo could end after only one year.
Last week, the English press revealed that the Mancunian management would not intend to retain Ronaldo if he asked to leave. Some decision makers believe they made a mistake in recovering CR7 last summer and would therefore be rather satisfied to see him leave Old Trafford. However, football has often taught us that things can still change between now and June. Because the Lusitano will still have opportunities to bounce back and reverse negative opinions about him.
In your opinion, should Ronaldo leave MU next summer? Do not hesitate to react and discuss in the area add a comment …
