Manchester United have 99 problems, but Cristiano Ronaldo is only one… there isn’t a SINGLE element of the club right now that is functioning as an elite team should
The Daily Mail says They tried it with him, got beat by two. Tried it, without him, got beat by three. In league meetings this season, it is Manchester City 6 Manchester United 1. It would appear there are more problems at Old Trafford than simply whether Cristiano Ronaldo is on the pitch.
His worth to the club at the moment is as a human shield. While the world debates Ronaldo’s long and short-term future at Old Trafford, and whose fault it is that his move has not been transformative, as was hoped, others at the club escape the heat.
Players, coaches, the hierarchy, particularly those shaping transfer policy. All can hide behind the furore around Ronaldo.
