Cristiano Ronaldo (40 years old) is not the type to mince his words. Interviewed by Piers Morgan, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner was asked about the work of his compatriot Ruben Amorim at Manchester United. His answer was clear. “He is doing his best. What are you going to do? Miracles. Miracles are impossible. In Portugal, they say: “miracles only exist in Fatima…” And he will not perform miracles. »
He continued: “They have good players, but some of them have not fully understood what Manchester United stands for. Personally, I am sad because of the club, which is one of the most important clubs in the world and a club that remains dear to my heart for obvious reasons. You have to surround yourself with intelligent people, brilliant people, to build the foundations of the future, like Manchester United did so many years ago. Nicky Butt, Gary Neville, Roy Keane, David Beckham, they became great players, but they were young. Manchester United, at the moment, has no structure. I hope that changes in the future, present or future, because the potential of the club is incredible. It is one of the most important clubs of the century. » The journalist asked him if he still watches MU. ” Of course. Of course, because I spent so many years there. I won the Champions League there, I won the Ballon d’Or, I won 12, 13, 14 titles there. I repeat, Manchester United are always in my heart. I love this club. But we all have to be honest and look at ourselves and say, “Look, they’re not on the right track.” So they have to change, and it’s not just about the coach and the players, in my opinion. » Still attached to the club, he believes that change is needed, particularly within management.
