Im sorry but some of the stuff read on here has been absolute shite (with some truth).
Blaming Ronaldo for how United has performed this season is lazy and nonsensical. United (with all due respect) were complete shite before he got here and unless drastic changes are made will continue to be shite after him.
The team was constructed poorly with no midfield and no depth as well as having a highly attacking team (which somehow they still manage to be dreadful at) with zero balance.
Then you factor in piss poor management decisions in Ole and then this whole Rangnick facade with a coach who quite frankly has achieved feck all in comparison to top managers in the world and he was supposed to come in here and fix this train wreck.
Now is Ronaldo prime Madrid Ronaldo? of course not. Will he run up and down the pitch? of course not. Should United build through him? of course not. He is 37. Can he take a man on consistently? probably not. Will he spear head you to a title like a prime Ronaldo could? also no
With all that he is still by far the most impactful player on the team and his finishing is amongst the best in the world. A 37 year old Ronaldo still bangs with the best of them without being the best in the world (Look at the goal vs Spurs as an example). He has 14 goals in a team that struggles to create many chances during the course of a game. He was never going to be the "savior" and the spear head to a EPL title without a balanced and well constructed team around him. Put him in that scenario and people would be singing a very different tune in here. Ronaldo in Madrid or Bayern or PSG would be scoring for fun.
So this agenda of blaming Ronaldo is mental and nonsensical. United is a fecking train wreck and the team quite frankly...is shite. Ronaldo is probably on of the last people to blame for thats going on in United not just this year but since 2013. Anyone who thinks otherwise is in LA LA land.
