If he has not been excellent in every game, Cristiano Ronaldo has done the job since his return to Manchester United with already 14 goals scored in 21 appearances. But that was not enough for his team, which points to a disappointing 7th place in the Premier League at mid-season. In a long interview with Sky Sports, the Portuguese star recalled that he had not returned to Old Trafford to appear.
“Manchester United have to win the league or be at worst second or third. I don’t see Manchester United in any other place to be honest. I don’t accept that our mentality is to finish below third place. I think that to build good things sometimes you have to destroy some of them. So why not – new year, new life and hopefully Manchester can be at the level the fans want. They deserve it.”, first entrusted the Portuguese.
“We can all do better”
“We are able to change things now. I know the way, but I’m not going to mention it here because I don’t think it’s ethical of me to say it. What I can say is that we we can all do better. I don’t want to be here to be sixth, seventh or fifth. I’m here to try to win, to be competitive.”
If CR7 is critical and demanding, he does not seem to blame his new coach Ralf Rangnick, but rather the mentality of his team. Regarding his new German coach, Cristiano Ronaldo also thinks that he has “changed a lot of things since his arrival”. “But he needs time to get his ideas across to the players. It takes time but I think he’s going to do a good job. We know we’re not playing the best football, but we have a lot of games for us. to improve.”
