In United's training session on Thursday, players who missed the FA Cup against Aston Villa due to injury, including Cristiano Ronaldo, have all returned to training. In addition to Cristiano Ronaldo, Sancho, Maguire and Phil Jones also appeared at Carrington training ground to participate in joint training, which means they can all play in Saturday's Premier League game away to Villa.
Cristiano Ronaldo, 36, missed the FA Cup with a hip injury and has now made it clear that he wants to return to the starting line-up at Villa Park. "I'm in a good situation, it's not a lot of training, but you know, it's part of my job." Cristiano Ronaldo told the Premier League official, "You know, players sometimes experience injuries, it's not a big deal, I hope it will get better soon. Hopefully, I'll try to train normally and see how I'm doing. God bless, but I have faith."
However, the comeback of Ronaldo may be difficult to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for manchester United now. This season, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 14 goals in 22 games, far ahead of other Manchester United teammates. However, not every player is satisfied with him. Britain's "Sun" reported that some Manchester United players are terrified of the return of Cristiano Ronaldo because it puts a lot of pressure on them.
Cristiano Ronaldo is shocked by the current culture and attitude of the players, feeling that if his teammates don't make changes, this season will turn into a nightmare. "If we don't work hard, we won't be able to achieve great things in the New Year, and on the contrary, it will become a nightmare."
Unfortunately, many young people do not listen to Ronaldo's advice. According to The Sun, many players felt that Ronaldo's return had ruined their comfortable lives, especially on the pitch. Some players feared that mistakes or failure to pass the ball to the Portuguese superstar in time would get a fierce reaction from him.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. In the past, C Ronaldo in the Manchester United squad, every training is real, Roy Keane, Vidic, Rooney and Tevez and other teammates, will be killed in Carrington, Fury sometimes have to blow a suspension in advance to avoid anyone being injured.
However, the current Manchester United players, who have become accustomed to the relaxed training of the past few years, hope that Ronaldo will relax a little and accept the reality. At first, C Luo felt angry, but seeing that he could not change his teammates, he was also a little excited, alienating some teammates with different ambitions.
There are also some Manchester United teammates who feel that the arrival of C Ronaldo has forced the team to really bear the pressure of winning the championship, and in the past, when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer led them, he often stressed that whether to win the championship is not the most important, the key is "progress".
Just this week, Cristiano Ronaldo publicly stated that Manchester United's failure to enter the top three of the Premier League is an unacceptable record, he does not agree with the fifth, sixth or even seventh rankings, and the goal is to compete for the title. Interestingly, former team-mate Rooney disagreed, as he felt United's only goal should be to finish first!
"Manchester United have to be the first team, not the top three." Speaking at derby county's pre-match press conference, Rooney commented, "That's what the fans are all about you and the standard that the club deserves. Of course, Manchester United went through a difficult period, but the club still had to aim to win the title. A title is a must, it's the pressure to play or work for Manchester United."
