Man Utd bought a world class player for an inexperienced coach.
I put all the blame on Ronaldo. He had the choice of chosing between Guardiola and Solksjaer. No reasonable player would chose Solksjaer over Guardiola... He's decision was based on emotions...
Na him Sabi Sha

I blame.dt ref for not sending him off in dt his dirty ball play against dt Liverpool defender

The ref should have nack him red card for what he did to Salah..

his presence has obviously unbalanced the team, most especially defensively. Not saying Solksjaer isn't a bang average manager or that Maguire and Lindelof aren't horrible defenders, but they still came second in the league last season with the same manager and players.

Is he the club's current problem now?

Abi o.... Abeg help me ask the op that question again?

He Should Embrace The Whole Bruhaha He Deserve All That.
He Suppose To Have Joined Manchester City Before He Was Hijacked

Keep quiet there, when last did Man united win against Liverpool??

HELL NO

This life ehn!

How many games have they lost since they signed Ronaldo on? What was their trend beginning/mid/end of season last year versus now? Did their playing formation change? Comparing season on season, do they have bad seasons and pick up again after the next season etc. etc.

Is that not the first step of the analysis?

No be lie bro. Manchester United made a huge mistake to sign the guy...

Ronaldo is the best thing that happened to Manchester United. Remove the goals he scored and ask yourself where man u will be. He was signed for so little and he accepted it with his full heart. I know many times he aged defence he had been all round. But who will be happy after all those sacrifices, Maguire will serve the opponent's food on a platter of gold and expect them to say "no! thank you". Why spend so much money to buy Sancho when you know that you don't have defence? Why play Maguire in all matches when you have seen the shit he plays daily. The hate against Ronaldo didn't start today. Chelsea fans,we know when you started hating on him

Dazall:
The signing of Cristiano Ronaldo might just have made united weaker.

Up until this season, United knew how to win against the big teams as Solskjaer deployed a counterattacking system in which his team sat behind the ball, compressing the space in the simplest way possible.

A run of tricky games – they play the other five of the ‘Big Six’ before November is out – gives a chance for Solskjaer to recover, then, and yet the collapse against Leicester suggests Ronaldo has made United worse at the one thing they did well.

Of all the forwards to have played three Premier League games this season, Ronaldo ranks bottom of the table for pressures, with 17, significantly fewer than second-bottom Romelu Lukaku’s 43.

Predictably, Ronaldo’s disinterest in pressing has spread like an infection through the squad. It was remarkable to watch how easily Leicester passed from centre-back into central midfield, with one vertical ball past Ronaldo allowing Youri Tielemans or Boubakary Soumare to turn and run towards goal.

Carragher has been speaking about the attacker’s comeback to United. Even though he is “one of the greatest players of all time”, the pundit claims that Ronaldo may have a “negative” influence on the team:

Manchester United needed a midfield anchor like Ndidi or Saul more than they needed another attacker, Ronaldo might mask this deficiency, but there were still warning signs in the performance against Newcastle in his second debut for United.

Now it's all too glaring to see against a team of Liverpool's caliber where the disorganized system of United was exposed by the Liverpool team.

Solskjaer might have his tactical flaws but this is a team that finished second last season being thrashed by Liverpool.

Ronaldo's unwillingness to track back and defend is really affecting the team and has taken the shine off Cavani who had a great season the previous season.

What do you think? Has Ronaldo weakened United? Drop your views below

These players don't track back enough to help united in the defense

Ronaldo
Bruno
Sancho

United will continue to suffer cos they don't defend together as a unit. What you do when you don't have the ball is as important as what you do when you have the ball

Ronaldo didn't score, agreed. Was it ronaldo allow them score 5goals?. Be reasonable stop been barbaric

He didn't score, was it him that allow them score 5past Man United? Stop been bais

oluwaseyi1759:
Chelsea played well through last season without a natural striker , winning European trophies.

Teamwork is what Manchester United need now...They have enough of better players

Werner,giroud, Abraham are not natural strikers?

Ronaldo is one of the greatest hype of world football and never one of the world's greatest.

People are just too funny was Barcelona not humiliated before when their almighty Messi was there? This is football Ronaldo or no Ronaldo situation like this do happen it's a matter of changing some things that is it.

There are 11 players on the field what were the rest 10 players doing to now be blaming Ronaldo? Team lost all takes the blame that is sport for you guys.

I'm not any club fan because I can't be having seepless night because of somebody earning £500,000 a week wages who do not know if I existed, I'm only a big fan of National team so it is never a mistake signing Ronaldo the lost it's just one of those things in football.

RedMac:
Yes same way PSG made same mistake signing messi

hope your rectum is intact ! CR bitxh. Wetin concern Messi for this topic?

That's were a good sporting director comes in,he should have analysed the situation better knowing that Ronaldo wasn't a good fit for the club that the club needed to strengthen elsewhere.but it all comes down to one Truth ole isn't good enough tactically and experience wise to manage a club this big

oluwaseyi1759:
Is he the club's current problem now?

yes bro he is the problem. Man U is no long compact as they use to be. He affected juventus same way. Now they are trying to recover

The problem is not Ronaldo. The problem is the coach and Man united defence. Harry Maguire is a big problem to man united. He keeps making mistakes. Just look at all goals man united conceded yesterday. I don't know why the coach keeps benching Eric baily. Man united is just so bais or I should say man united does not like using African players. I just feel pity for Ronaldo. Be like baba made a mistake for coming back to united.

Truvelisback:
What does CR7 have to do with this?

if you have been following Man U well you will know that they are no longer compact as they use to be. The big 6 use to struggle to play Man U

u cant win all games
u cant lose small all d time

I can't believe people can be so senseless and stupid to blame Ronaldo for Man U's defensive sloppiness. Think of it, since the season started, has the team kept any clean sheets?

Defensive mistakes here and there cos of sheer lack of cohesion and team play, who's job is it to harmonise the team? Ronaldo?

It's just stupid when people throw objectivity out of the window and blow up the space with sentiments.

Was Ronaldo the only player ManU bought? They bought mostly useless players besides Ronaldo who’s the best thing they can get.

The only problem is ole has gotten to comfortable and relaxed made himself and the team over dependent on Ronaldo.

They are all lazy bums now and lack technical dept.

Stop using last season to judge a lot of big teams were weak last season and didn’t perform or didn’t u see the gap btwn Mancity and others including ManU that claimed 2nd. Which yeye very weak 2nd place.

If Chelsea and Liverpool were themselves last season nothing for ManU. The team has always been unstable and it’s not Ronaldo fault.

Yes same way PSG made same mistake signing messi

But Messi only lost once with psg and psg is at the top Ligue 1 and champions league which they couldn't do last season how about you stfu your penaldo is a fraud

Kingcalls:
Last season united lost 6.1 at home to spurs , Ronaldo wasn't there, they lost to Westham at home in carling cup...Ronaldo wasn't there... they topped their CL group last season after 3 games but still failed to qualify, Ronaldo wasn't there.... Still some fools are saying its his fault, whens its glaring to the world that defense and not attack is man utds problem... man u have won 6 games in all competitions this season .... Ronaldo won half of those games for man utd despite joining after 3 games ... man u got sancho for 75m when they needed a holding midfield player... and the dint even play the sancho... wissaka is about the worst RB in the EPL going forward... maguire is totally confused , greenwood only shoots , shaw is always out of place, Fred is fred, pogba is purposely sabotaging the coach, mctominy is still a learner and not confident enough.... infact I am tired

Modified... its time the name of the moderator that brings a topic to front page is attached to the topic so that we can know the dumb moderators cos only a dumb one will bring this to front page... from sky sports to Espn to the Mirror and different podcasts and punters are blaming the coaches and someone on NL said its Ronaldo and a mode brought it to FP

you are just a Ronaldo fan who is only concern about his image. I am a Man U fan who is looking at the team performance. Yes united lost all those matches last season but were better organized. The compact team we saw last two seasons is gone because of him.

Kingcalls:


Psg have failed to score a single goal in every single minute messi has been on the pitch in ligue 1, but have scored 12 goals when he us not in the pitch...yet his minions are here trying to drag Ronaldo....its glaring that Messi is dragging psg down... no goal or assist in his last 5 league games

Lol you are a slowpoke they are at the top of the table clown whereas Messi is enjoying himself and winning games with alot of trophies guaranteed

Brarrie:

Alot of ligue 1s guaranteed with farmers ... psg hv dropped 5 points when he's on the pitch...when they were struggling to win at 1.1 he was subbed out and the eventually won that game... 5 games , no goal contribution in "FARMERS LEAGUE "

Signing CR7 brought Manchester United onto another level that OLE gunner soljer can not manage. Best to go.

CR7 is@ another level

tonexman18:
Why not blame him for winning the game against Atalanta and Villareal na?? The coach is clueless

i am a Man U fan believe me deep inform Martial is, he would have done better in that match.
