Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher have both criticised Christian Ronaldo for his lack of defensive contribution and feel he is a big issues for the new Manchester United manager.
Christian Ronaldo netted again in his side’s 2-0 win over Villarreal on Tuesday, speaking his tally in the Champions League this summer to six, he has also Scored four goals and two assist in the Premier League in what what has been largely productive return to United.
How can a club the size of Manchester United still rely on a guy who’s nearly 37 yrs, He was unbelievable, his goal was unbelievable, but if he doesn’t score he is a passenger in the game,’ according to CBS Sport.
‘You have to accept that, that’s a fact. But he scores nearly every game so at the moment you can accept it.
‘If Christian Ronaldo didn’t score in four or five games without scoring, that’s a massive problem for the club.’
Chiming Henry added. I totally agree but the problem is when your poison is your medicine you will struggle.
‘You watch the game [against Villarreal], at the end Christian Ronaldo savesthem, but when they play they are exposed sometimes because they don’t defend as a unit. And we all know if you don’t do that you cannot win games.
‘And, by the way, we’re are talking about winning the Champions League and wining the title in England, not finishing second, third, fourth and going to the quarter-final and semi-finals.We’re talking about winning, and if you want to win you’ve all got to run.’
