Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo left Serie A giants Juventus FC when the transfer window opened last summer to unexpectedly rejoin his originally established premier league club Manchester United, the striker returned to Manchester United's top scorer position nearly 12 years after leaving Old Trafford and became the club's top scorer of the season, scoring 18 goals in 32 appearances in the reigning Manchester United. Ronaldo has created some breathtaking performances, particularly in the group stage of the Champions League, where he has scored six goals in five games.
Cristiano Ronaldo, now 37 years old, will inevitably endure a decline in body and criticism from expert football commentators. Even his former team-mates have been critical of his performance at Old Trafford. The head coach of Derby County football in the Championship and Former Teammate of Reynaldo, Wayne Rooney, was a guest on the sports media Sky Sports' football show earlier this week as a football commentator, in which Rooney discussed his old club Manchester United. United have struggled this season and Rooney believes his former team-mate Ronaldo has not played a key role for the team.
Wayne Rooney said: "Cristiano Ronaldo scored important goals for United early in the Champions League, scored a hat-trick in the Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur and he did a fantastic job, but I think if you want Manchester United to have a future, the team must train young players so that they can improve Manchester United in the next two or three years, Ronaldo should not compete for space for young players, I think Cristiano Ronaldo after multiple returns to Manchester United, It hasn't had enough of an impact on United. ”
Cristiano Ronaldo disputed Wayne Rooney's comments and, on Rooney's social media Instagram post, commented: "Jealousy. It's unclear what Ronaldo's comments mean, but Rooney responded at a press conference on Thursday local time, with Rooney saying: "I saw it this morning and I might say that there is not a single footballer in this football world who is not jealous of Cristiano Ronaldo!" He has a long career, the trophies he has won, the money he makes, and six-pack abs, his physical fitness. I think every player including Leo Messi is jealous of Cristiano! ”
Cristiano Ronaldo, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, may have questioned his former team-mate Wayne Rooney's claim that United should rely on their youngsters. It's no secret that Ronaldo is very disciplined in his training and diet, so despite being 37 years old, he still maintains amazing physical fitness, Ronaldo currently makes 24 appearances in the Premier League, scoring 12 goals, which means that he has scored an average of one goal every other game this season in the Premier League.
