Cristiano Ronaldo made a sterling return to Manchester United but now that the party is over, it turns out that he’s not really what the club needs.
This past summer, Manchester United became one of the most talked-about clubs in the sport after managing to pull off the return of Cristiano Ronaldo to the “Theatre of Dreams.” As expected, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner quickly made his mark on his former team by doing what he does best–scoring goals.
However, with the Red Devils not winning games despite having arguably the greatest player of all time on their squad, Manchester United had to sort things out. After more devastating defeats, the club figured it’s about time for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the first-team manager, to go.
A glimmer of hope began surfacing with the arrival of interim manager Ralf Rangnick, a renowned coach best known for his expertise in the “gegenpressing” approach. Under Rangnick, Manchester United has won two English Premier League games. However, many, and even Rangnick himself believe that the club can still perform better given the amount of talent stacked in it.
