Cristiano Ronaldo’s situation with Manchester United has become complicated in recent times. As Ronaldo left the stadium before the final whistle during the match against Newcastle, Manchester United punished him by dropping him out against the Chelsea clash.
So the question is rising whether Ronaldo would leave the club in the January transfer window. However, Man United’s manager Erik Ten Hag has insisted that he has no plan to let Ronaldo go in the upcoming window.
Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to leave Man United in the last summer transfer window. But that didn’t happen for many reasons. The situation has become more complicated now, and football experts believe Ronaldo will leave in January.
Gary Neville, one of Man United’s legends, has discussed a lot about the current situation of Man United with Ronaldo. During the debate with Roy Keane, Gary Neville said on Sky Sports, “The only thing the club and Ronaldo can do is get together in this next week or so and end the relationship.”
Gary Neville believes Manchester United play better without Ronaldo. “There aren’t many Manchester United fans who would now have Ronaldo in their starting eleven. They are better without him – they score more goals without him and they win more points without him. Manchester United are a better team without him,” Naville added.
Cristiano Ronaldo is not getting enough game time at Manchester United. That is why he became frustrated. But his behavior during the match against Newcastle United was surely unacceptable, according to Gari Naville. In response to Ronaldo’s punishment, Naville backed the manager. He said, “For me, Erik ten Hag had no other option. That’s the second time Ronaldo has left Old Trafford before his team-mates have got into the changing room. That is unacceptable.”
However, Roy Keane defended Ronaldo. But he doesn’t think Ronaldo will play again for Man United. “They[reporters] asked the manager in the press conference about Ronaldo refusing to come on but they should have asked him when was he going to put him on? Late in the game? I’m not too sure that was a clever move. He has to take his medicine. He’s done something he shouldn’t have done. Can he get back into the team before the World Cup? I don’t see it,” Roy Keane added.
