Cristiano Ronaldo said he will "close the mouths" of his critics
and that they "do not want to see" his defensive work in an
exclusive interview with Sky Sports .
Ronaldo's return to Manchester United on Transfer Deadline
Day was greeted with fanfare and the six goals of his second
spell at Old Trafford have proved pivotal in Europe and the
Premier League, providing late winners in both of their
Champions League group-stage victories to date.
However, United's ropey form has not seen the five-time
Ballon d'Or winner immune from criticism. Data graphics have
put the 36-year-old at the bottom of the pressing charts for
forwards across the Premier League, which coupled with the
club's perceived soft underbelly has raised questions about
Ronaldo's overall impact.

In a wide-ranging interview with Sky Sports ahead of a
showdown with Liverpool on Sky Sports Premier League this
Sunday, the record international goalscorer hit back at his
critics as not wanting to see the positives of his game, and
said even as he enters his 20th season as a professional, his
winning desire still burns as brightly as ever.

After breaking the all-time international goalscoring record,
Cristiano Ronaldo says it is not his time to retire from
international football yet because he wants to set the target
much higher.
He said: "I know when the team needs my help defensively.
But my role in the club is to win, help the team to win and to
score goals - [the defensive side] is part of my job.

"The people who don't want to see that is because they don't
like me but to be honest I'm 36, I win everything so am I going
to be worried about the people who say bad things about me?
I sleep good at night. I go to my bed with my conscience very
good. Keep going with that because I will still close mouths
and win things.
"Criticism is always part of the business. I'm not worried about
that. And I see it as a good thing to be honest. If they worry
about me or they speak about me, it's because they know my
potential and value in football still. So it's good. I'll give you an
example: if you're in a school and you're the best student, you
ask the worst student if he likes the best, they'll say they don't
like him.

"I think the main word is that I'm still happy and enjoying
football. It doesn't matter how many things I won in my career.
I win everything but I'm still motivated. I'm in a new chapter of
my life, even with my age, and this is why I am here - to try to
win and I think Manchester needs to be at this level of winning
and thinking to win big things so I'm here to help."

'Huge potential' in United team
There had been suggestions that Ronaldo's arrival could
inspire United to play a genuine role in this season's title race,
but with eight games gone Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side sit five
points off the league summit and have not won in three league
matches.
A defiant Ronaldo said he sees the promise in the squad to
bring silverware back to Old Trafford for the first time since
2017, and revealed instead of singing a song for his second
United induction, he gave his team-mates a motivational
speech about how he wants to use his winning mentality to
take them to that level.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says it's hard to compare
Mohamed Salah and Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of their meeting
at Old Trafford on Sunday.
"I said what I felt in that moment: that I'm here to win things,"
he said. "Manchester United is a sign [of] winning things and
I'm not here for holidays. I said to them I see huge potential in
this team; very young players, players with potential, and I'm
here to win and to help the team to build new stuff.
"I didn't sing because I told them that I sang a few years ago!
But it was good. The boys, they understand me, it was a good
speech and I was happy that night."
Everton reaction? 'I just want to win'
Another criticism labelled on perhaps football's most
scrutinised player came after he stormed down the tunnel at
full-time of their 1-1 draw with Everton after the international
break, their third domestic game in a row without victory and
a result which denied them the chance to go joint-top of the
Premier League table with Chelsea.
But Ronaldo, who has eight league titles to his name, made no
apologies for his reaction and pointed to his winning mentality
as motivating his frustration at the result.
Leicester ended Manchester United's record unbeaten away
Premier League run at the King Power Stadium in their last
league match.
He said: "I don't like to lose. [It was a] draw? Draw - but for
me, to draw against Everton - who have my whole respect - at
home is like a loss. Maybe I'm thinking wrong, but this is the
way I motivate myself and win stuff during my career and I
play for the most important clubs in the world.
"So, as I said, criticism will always exist here. I'm not hiding
from that and, to be honest, I really don't care because I know
football is like that. My reactions are what I feel at that
moment. Most of the time when I talk it's very, very positive
but sometimes, depending on the game, maybe you say things
that you don't agree or whatever but it's me.
"Everyone knows me. I've always been like that; I'm not going
to change now with my age. I will always give 100 per cent for
this club and my reactions is part of what I am. I don't want to
hurt anybody. I know there will be eyes on me because of what
I am, what I achieve, what I win.
"They don't want to give me credit for the good things; they're
always going to find the bad things but for me it's not a
problem. Life's a constant lesson and I still learn with my
mistakes, trying to improve the next game."

Messi fans and hypocrisy is like bread and butter. Well I don't blame them cos the midget has been a hypocrite all his life. PSG that couldn't win common club Brugge and Leipzig convincingly is what this one is making noise about. PSG has no quality to survive champions league quarter finals, it's just some brainwashed Messi fans that think otherwise. A guy that couldn't help Barca to pass the quarter finals for almost six years is what is giving this ones false hope. Ronaldo isn't a coward like Messi who chose to play for Europe's 7th league after managing to leave his comfort zone

Messi fans are so deluded that u wonder if they are actually kidding with the criticism or they are outrightly bitter of Ronaldo's achievements... they were all screaming that he is the assist master, niggar hasn't assisted in 7 games he has played for PSG.... they moved to dribbles , and chances created , messi was just strolling round the pitch game after game with no impact .... instead they focused on Ronaldo, that he is killing man utd by not defending...messi that dont even make attempts at defending, they overlooked his side... they goal shamed Ronaldo that he only scores tap ins and penalties... messi scored a tap in and penalty, they said its a rebound and a penanka ...I never see this kyn hypocrisy in my life...infact they dont hv shame anymore in displaying their stupidity

You're right bro. I don't know if they think everyone should act like zombies when it has to do with Messi.

You just nail it. Dem nor send juve again. Their own pass village people. If Rinaldo retire today dem go follow am enter retirement

There is something I don't understand about these Messi Vs Ronaldo argument amongst fans. Are you getting secretly getting paid for all the energy and devotion you give to these guys or it is just lack of better thing to do with your time. I've been following football passiontely since Korea/Japan 2002 and for the life of me, I can't think of any single time I spent argument about football players.
