DBasia.news – Manchester United defender, Victor Lindelof, rejected the notion that his team’s current slump is caused by Cristiano Ronaldo. Lindelof firmly claims that CR7 still has a huge impact on the Red Devils squad.
It’s no secret that in the last two months, Manchester United’s performance has been under intense scrutiny.
This happened because the Red Devils showed a very disappointing performance, especially in their last two home games when they were humiliated by Liverpool and Manchester City.
The decline in Man United’s appearance in fact invited a lot of reactions. A few parties have said that what is happening at Manchester United at this time is the effect of the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Although CR7 was able to show a slick appearance with a contribution of 9 goals from 12 appearances in all competitions, the presence of the 36-year-old player was said to have disturbed the balance of the team.
Responding to these accusations, Victor Lindelof admitted that he did not agree. According to the Swedish national team captain, Ronaldo is still a big influence for Man United.
Not only that, Lindelof claims the MU squad is very happy to be able to share the field with the megastar.
“Nothing has changed [from Ronaldo],” Lindelof told Fotbolkanalen.
“Of course we have managed to bring in one of the best players in the world who has made a contribution both on and off the pitch.”
“I just think it is great for us to have a player like him. He is a great person and helps us a lot, especially the young players,” he concluded.
