It’s better if Ronaldo leaves Man United

Rumours about Cristiano Ronaldo are intensifying every minute.

Just as United is getting used to the methods of new manager Erik Ten Haag, came the first signal that not everything is alright.

As per reports, Ronaldo missed the training session yesterday.

He was about to meet with Erik Ten Hag in their first official meeting.

However, due to ‘family reasons’, he had taken a leave from the training program.

The Portuguese legend’s absence raised questions over his future amid rumors that he is set to leave the club.

What is Ronaldo worried about?

Ronaldo re-joined for United last August in a deal worth just under �20m from Juventus and scored 24 goals in 38 games.

Yet, many times, he cut a frustrated figure as the team faltered under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and then Ralf Rangnick to finish sixth.

The 37-year-old feels the urge to win even more in the twilight of his career.

However, he feels that may not be possible at Old Trafford next season.

Ronaldo is worried that United are yet to make any improvements to the squad in the current transfer window.

Thirteen players have left the club this summer but none have yet arrived.

United are close to deals for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong and Feyenoord left-back Tyrell Malacia and also want to sign Ajax centre-back Lisandro Martinez.

However, nothing is finalized which is a big cause of concern for Ronaldo.

According to reliable sources, Ronaldo has asked to leave United officially.

Expectedly, United have responded that he is not for sale and expect him to see out the remainder of his contract, which expires in the summer of 2023.

The 2021/22 campaign was the fifth in succession in which Manchester United failed to win a trophy.

Another big issue is that Ronaldo will not play Champions League football and will have to content with the Europa League.

To a person like Ronaldo, who still looks at himself as the world’s best player, this is unacceptable.

The Portugal international has never played in the Europa League.

He last played in its predecessor, the UEFA Cup when he was at Sporting Lisbon in the 2002/03 season.

Where will he go next?

There are reports that Ronaldo’s manager Jorge Mendis had already made a move and offered the 37-year-old striker’s service to Juventus.

Apparently, Juventus have not totally ruled out having star footballer in their side.

But there are doubts over whether they would be able to complete a deal.

Also, there has been no official bid for Ronaldo yet.

The only other club that can sign Ronaldo is PSG, a mouth-watering prospect that will see the Portuguese star line up with his great rival Messi.

What should Ronaldo do?

Ronaldo has to think short-term at 37, conscious that he can only hope to have three or four more years left at the highest level.

He also has a World Cup with Portugal in November to consider.

United, meanwhile, have to plan long-term under Ten Hag.

Rebuilding a faded empire requires a patience that the trophy-hunting Ronaldo may not be ready for.

Hi best bet is to tag him himself to a club that desperately needs a goal-scorer, like Chelsea or Bayern Munich.

All said and done, Ronaldo and United might be stuck with each other for 12 more months.

However, it looks increasingly clear that these two would be better off with an amicable split.

Georgina Rodriguez made a huge claim on the future of her husband and star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, in Football. In a brief interaction with a host recently, Rodriguez was asked about the time left for Cristiano to make an impact at the highest level. Georgina looked honest in her approach to the question of the host and claimed something the fans would not love to hear.

Georgina claimed that the Portugal star has maybe one year more from him at the highest level. She felt that Ronaldo might play two more years before retiring and not more than that. She was however not sure if he would play for just one or two years and added that the Al Nassr star could also play more than that.

The video has gone viral on X and the fans have started sharing it on different platforms. Some of the fans feel that Georgina might be right, while others feel that she could be wrong, given the fitness and longevity of the star player.

Legacy of Cristiano Ronaldo

Jude Bellingham shown Red Card (Image Credit: Twitter)

England and Real Madrid player Jude Bellingham was slapped with a Red Card during the La Liga game against Valencia. In the game, the home team, Valencia was leading by 2-0 after 30 minutes before Madrid scored in the injury time of the first half. Vinicius Junior opened the scoring for Madrid while Hugo Duro (27′) and Roman Yaremchuk (30′) scored a goal each.

In the 76th minute, Junior scored an equalizer to keep the team in the game. However, in the injury time of the second half, Bellingham was given a red card as he argued with the referee against calling it a full-time before he could score. In reply, the match official decided to slap the England international with a Red Card. The team coach Carlo Ancelotti wasn’t happy with the verdict as the Three Lions player was making a pass at the time.

Jude Bellingham verbally abusing officials and other footballers at the slightest provocation needs to be talked about more. It’s embarrassing he gets applauded by Real Madrid Fans.

“I think what’s just happened is unprecedented. It’s never happened to me,” Ancelotti told reporters.

“We had possession of the ball and the match should have been finished when Valencia had the ball.

“What bothers us is the red card for Bellingham because he didn’t say anything insulting. He was frustrated of course,” said Ancelotti, adding that Bellingham had used a common English swearword when telling the referee it was a goal.

We are annoyed with Jude Bellingham’s Red Card: Carlo Ancelotti

“We were annoyed with Bellingham’s red card. He didn’t say any insults. He said in English ‘it’s a f—ing goal,’ but he was just saying what we were all thinking … [The referee] allowed play to continue. I think he made a mistake.”

“[Bellingham] was clear in what he said,” Ancelotti added. “He was quite vehement [in his reaction] but that’s normal, after what happened. It wasn’t an insult, not at all.”
