Eliminated in the knockout stages of the Champions League after losing to Atlético de Madrid (0-1), Manchester United will now have to end their year in the Premier League as well as possible. A sporting context where the future of Cristiano Ronaldo also remains one of the main questions on the side of Old Trafford. But according to the latest information from the Spanish press, his future finally seems sealed.
Roller coasters. Here is how we could sum up the last days of Cristiano Ronaldo (37) on the side of Manchester United. Sparkling in the victory against Tottenham (3-2), last weekend, CR7 offered himself a resounding hat-trick allowing the passage to become the best scorer in the history of football with 807 achievements, surpassing Josef Bican and his 805 goals. Just that. Yes but now, absent subscribers against the Colchoneros, the Portuguese could not prevent the elimination of his family despite a good draw obtained in the first leg. An extremely disappointing performance where the Lusitano simply did not attempt a single shot…
Now eliminated from national and European cups and left behind in the league, Manchester United will hang on to try to clinch a place in C1 next season. Accustomed to winning everything, the Portuguese will therefore experience a white season for the first time since the 2009-2010 season but will also be absent from the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the 3rd consecutive season. A real anomaly for the five-time Golden Ball who logically did not fail to rekindle rumors about a possible departure from Manchester at the end of the season, which is more in view of the fresh relationship between him and Ralf Rangnick , the manager of the Red Devils.
Cristiano Ronaldo will stay, Ralf Rangnick will leave!
However, if many rumors have spread concerning the future of Cristiano Ronaldo, the latest information from the Spanish daily AS claim that the former Real Madrid or Juve serial scorer will indeed continue the adventure in Mancunian lands. Indeed, despite a relatively mediocre year on the sporting level, the Portuguese does not intend to change his tune and has already decided to honor his contract and stay one more season with the Red Devils. This is very good news for Mancunian supporters, which nevertheless remains closely linked to the departure, at the end of the season, of the German technician from the current 5th in the Premier League.
In this context, AS also specifies that the departure, now more than likely, of the German next June would have convinced CR7. And for good reason, the failure in the Champions League and the distance observed in the league (20 points behind the leader Manchester City) ended up condemning Ralf Rangnick and only reinforce the possible arrival of a new coach, a sine condition. qua none of the future of CR7 at Old Trafford. As such, the latest information from the “Telegraph” indicates that everything is well advanced for Erik Ten Hag to resume the Mancunian formation next season. The current coach of Ajax, who is already taking English lessons, could then count on CR7 and thus revive a team eager for triumphs and renewal.
