In the recent round of the Premier League, Cristiano Ronaldo scored again, helping Manchester United to get 1 point on Chelsea and avoid the team's losing streak, although the possibility of getting the top four is now very small, but at least such a 1 point can make the team have a little face. After the recent good performance, the argument about whether United should abandon Cristiano Ronaldo has re-emerged.
During this time, the voice of whether Manchester United will give up C Ronaldo in the next season has not stopped. The reason is very strong, some arguments believe that when Tenghag arrives, he will inevitably form a team according to his own ideas, and there is no signal at present that Tenghag will really pay attention to C Ronaldo, not to mention that as a new coach, if he continues to succumb to some of the old forces of the team, then it is equivalent to changing the soup and not changing the medicine, and there is no need for him to do so. Secondly, C Ronaldo is 37 years old, and this age plays the main force in the giants, in fact, it is not very suitable for the team.
But Ronaldo's recent performance does make people have to re-examine what a 37-year-old veteran has brought to this team. In his last three games, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored five goals, including goals against Arsenal and Chelsea, as well as a hat-trick against Norwich. So far this season, he has scored 17 goals in the Premier League and 17 goals in a single season in the Premier League at the age of 37, which is also the highest number in history.
Of course, for Ronaldo's performance, there will be a voice that believes that even without Ronaldo on the pitch, Manchester United will also launch other strikers to complete his goal work. Such a statement cannot be wrong, but there are large logical loopholes. First of all, Cristiano Ronaldo is second on the Premier League top scorer list this season, which means that at least in the Premier League range, It is difficult for United to find a second player who can score so many goals. Secondly, even if you look at the five major leagues, Ronaldo's goals are also very impressive, do Manchester United really expect players like Rashford? It can be said that even if Ronaldo really makes the overall technical and tactical operation of the team have certain problems (after all, it is difficult for the veteran to do the pressure of the front), but according to the situation of Manchester United and the actual situation of other strikers now, the Red Devils can not find a second better replacement.
From a business point of view, Manchester United is also difficult to find a really better candidate than Ronaldo, the hottest strikers in football are Kylian Mbappe and Haaland, but these 2 people are difficult to really come to Manchester United, they all have their own teams they want to go to. Although it is difficult to reconcile business and competition, but abandoning C Ronaldo, there may be other strikers to some extent topped, but this person will definitely not be better than C Ronaldo in terms of total price (that is, business and competitive synthesis). Of course, from the perspective of the future development of a team, Manchester United should gradually reduce its dependence on 37-year-old and 38-year-old C Ronaldo next year, but from the current situation, Manchester United has no other suitable candidates, which is the same as football.
In addition, one thing that needs to be seen is that the current Manchester United, the atmosphere in the team is very bad, the young people of the team can not stand up at all, and the minds of some players are not on the team at all, Martial, Rashford, Pogba, these players are essentially a source of negative energy, from the most sensible point of view, Manchester United should send all these people away this summer. And C Ronaldo's fighting spirit and professionalism, these people simply can not compare, keep C Ronaldo, but also let the team have a good transition period, otherwise with the current turmoil in the manchester United dressing room and the unstable situation in the team, there is no such veteran to maintain stability, the situation will be more unfavorable.
What's next? This is also what Manchester United need to consider, C Ronaldo is now a 37-year-old player, this age is really sensitive for professional players, and Manchester United from a rational point of view can not always put all their thoughts on a veteran, this summer to retain C Ronaldo is what Manchester United should do, but the team should also think about what to do in the future.
The most serious mistake Manchester United has made in recent years is to put confidence and patience on players like Martial and Rashford, who are doomed to become masters, and have problems with personality and professionalism, and Manchester United's mistaken trust in these players is simply an extremely wrong and stupid approach, and this summer decisively abandons these impossible players and chooses other players instead. Secondly, in the construction of the midfield, the team should also be clear on what kind of players should spend money, such as Maguire and Pogba players are not destined to continue to stay in the team, of course, the team may not be short-term purge Maguire, after all, his value is too high, but his failed transfer should also remind the team, the next purchase, in what direction should be carried out.
