In the match against Burnley, Ronaldo scored a pass to help United win the final game of 2021. However, in an interview with the media on Saturday, England star Merson once again said that Lonnick should give up Ronaldo.
Speaking about United's performance, Merson said, "You just don't know what kind of performance Manchester United will have, they were very lucky against Norwich and they failed to win against Newcastle away from home. ”
"I think it's hard for them to get into the top four. United still have a long way to go and if they can finish fourth it will be a good season for them. ”
The Arsenal star said, "Looking at their squad, I firmly believe that Ronaldo should be excluded from the starting lineup. That's not going to happen, but I think Cavani should take his place and form a front line with players like Sancho, Rashford, Greenwood. Something is wrong with United. I think a lot of things happened inside the team and it wasn't good for them. ”
In fact, Ronaldo is also not satisfied with his current performance. In his New Year's address, the Portuguese said, "I'm not happy with what we've achieved at Manchester United. We're not happy, I'm sure. We know we have to work harder and play better than we are now. Let this cross-Chinese New Year's Eve be a turning point in the season and let us greet you in 2022 with a higher spirit and a stronger mindset. ”
