Manchester United may be dealing with criticism of Cristiano Ronaldo
The Red Devils are excited about returning to the club idol Ronal multiple times. However, despite the presence of the Portuguese forward, not everyone believes that Manchester United will usher in a fairytale season.
One of the football celebrities who have recently expressed concern about Ronaldo’s multiple return to Old Trafford is the legendary Italian striker. Paulo Di Canio.
According to the outspoken club manager, if Manchester United coach Solskjaer pushes Ronaldo to become the team’s main striker, this will pose a major problem, as the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is even at Juventus.
“C Ronaldo will improve his skills, but he has joined a team with many forwards and wingers,” Di Canio reported in Gazzetta dello Sport.Inside the box“Podcast.” Solskjaer said he thought he was a center forward, but Ronaldo didn’t want to do it at Juventus. “
Di Canio further assessed that Manchester United’s attack may also be a problem. However, Sancho is still “struggling” on the wing, while other forwards may be in the “frontcourt”, which may be perfect for Ronaldo, who has played a very good role on the left wing.
“I still see him starting from the left, but [Manchester] There are other players in the same position, including Sancho, who has a salary of 85 million euros ($100 million) but has been trying to adapt so far,” the 53-year-old explained.[Marcus] Rashford will be back [Mason] Greenwood and [Anthony] Wu Ye. Solskjaer allows his forward to play freely in the frontcourt, so this may be a good thing for Ronaldo. “

As for being a leader, Di Canio emphasized that he is not sure whether Cristiano Ronaldo can be as effective as his former domestic league opponent and AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
“There is enthusiasm, but whether Ronaldo will be as clumsy as Zlatan, it remains to be seen,” he questioned. “Sometimes, young players who don’t have much personality don’t understand that he wants the best from them.”
On the other hand, Solskjaer earlier revealed the important role Ronaldo will play for his club.
According to Solskjaer, Ronaldo’s position may change every once in a while, but in the end, he wants his former teammates to do what he does best-“scoring goals”.
“The most important thing is that Cristiano wants to come here,” Solskjaer Point out“Cristiano has grown into a player. He has played on the right, on the left, on the front court. Currently to me, he is more like a center forward. There will be some games where we will play two games in the front court. Play three games in front of the field. But I want him to be in the penalty area, I want him to score.”
