DBasia.news – Premier League analyst, Paul Merson believes that Cristiano Ronaldo is partly responsible for the problems that currently overshadow Manchester United. According to him, The Red Devils made a mistake by bringing back CR7.
Manchester United signed Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus earlier this season. The hope, CR7 can bring The Red Devils to the highest podium.
However, so far, Manchester United lost the opportunity to win the title. Man United have been knocked out in the Champions League, Premier League Cup and FA Cup. Meanwhile, the chance to win the Premier League title is far from reality.
Paul Merson feels, one of the figures who need to be responsible is Cristiano Ronaldo. According to him, Ronaldo’s ability has started to run out.
“Cristiano Ronaldo is now 37 years old. What Manchester United is experiencing at this time can infuriate him,” said Merson as reported by Sky Sports.
“Ronaldo has become one of the best players of all time. However, now he is unable to perform like he used to,” he added.
“The Premier League knows no mercy. In fact, it will be challenging. I have seen that happen,” he said.
Merson also accused Cristiano Ronaldo of being the person who made Ole Gunnar Solskjaer lose his position. In fact, before the arrival of Ronaldo, Man United was better.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer led Manchester United in 29 unbeaten away games in the Premier League. That is the longest record that a team in England can set.
“Ronaldo also got Solskjaer fired. Previously, Man United had carved the longest unbeaten record away from home. Man United also has its own style,” stated Merson.
