The question of Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to Manchester United was raised online by fans based on comments made by one of his former teammates.
Ronaldo makes a foot appeal to Amorim
According to Frenchman Louis Saha, Ronaldo “would love to come back” if Amorim thought he could make a positive contribution. However, we do not know if it is just a personal opinion or real information which concerns the star of the Saudi club Al-Nassr.
Even if Ronaldo made history for the Red Devils, particularly during his first spell at Old Trafford, it would still be surprising to see United bet on him again. At 38, he clearly does not represent the future. Furthermore, his last stay at the club proved to be complicated and ended in a crash. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the coach who welcomed him in 2020, admitted that it was a mistake to have signed him.
MU won’t make the same mistake twice
Furthermore, signing Ronaldo would likely work against the club’s efforts to rebuild a younger, more dynamic squad. Amorim, despite his link with Ronaldo, should consider the impact on team cohesion and the development of emerging talents. On the other hand, the Lusitano technician has already given the green light to get rid of several thirty-year-olds.
The arrival of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner would stifle opportunities for young attackers and disrupt the progress the club needs to make. Manchester United would benefit from focusing on rebuilding their identity, rather than reviving the great stories of the past.
