Manchester United forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, has blamed himself and his teammates following their Premier League 5-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday evening.

Ronaldo also admitted that the result against Liverpool was not what Man United wanted, adding that it is now up to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side to deliver going forward.

The Portugal captain was unable to help Man United as Liverpool thrashed the Red Devils at Old Trafford following a hat-trick from Mohamed Salah and a goal each from Naby Keita and Diogo Jota.

Reacting, Ronaldo, in a post via his Instagram account after the game, wrote, “Sometimes the result is not the one we fight for. Sometimes the score is not the one we want.

“And this is on us, only on us, because there’s no one else to blame.

“Our fans were, once again, amazing in their constant support.

“They deserve better than this, much better, and it’s up to us to deliver. The time is now!”

Ronaldo will now hope to lead Man United to victory when they take on Tottenham Hotspur in their next Premier League fixture on October 30.

Barcelona teenager, Ansu Fati has insisted that wearing the No. 10 jersey after Lionel Messi does not bring additional pressure, Newspremises reports.

Fati made the disclosure while speaking at a press conference after signing a new deal until 2027 with his release clause rising to €1billion.

“It’s true that the No. 10 jersey has been worn by Leo [Messi] and many players but I’m calm.

“I know what I can bring to this team.

“For me it’s not a pressure. No one is going to be like Leo, no one is going to be like [former captains Carles] Puyol or Xavi [Hernandez]. No one is going to equal what Leo has done. I’m going to follow my own journey. I still haven’t done anything. I hope I can have a career like they have had.

“Any player could have worn the No. 10. I’m grateful that the captains offered me the number and luckily, I got it. It’s an extra motivation for me. I don’t look at the number but focus on what I can do on the pitch to help the team,” the 18-year-old said.

Messi joined Paris Saint-Germain this summer after Barca were unable to register his contract due to financial restraints.

Juventus defenders, Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci have slammed their former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo for deciding to rejoin Manchester United in the summer transfer window.

Ronaldo started the season with the Old Lady, the club where he had spent the last three seasons, but decided to rejoin former club United in the final week of August for a £19.7million transfer fee.

Chiellini's Juventus initially started the season poorly with no wins in their first four league games and the Italian defender, along with defensive partner Leonardo Bonucci, have slammed Ronaldo for the negative impact the club had suffered.

Speaking after Juventus 1 - 0 win against Zenit St Petersburg in the Champions League on Wednesday, Chiellini told DAZN: 'We had reached a point in the relationship where Cristiano needed new incentives and a new team that could play for him, because when he finds such a team he is decisive.

'He has been proving it in recent months and showed it in the three years that he was with us.

'A rejuvenation restart programme grew here at Juventus. If Ronaldo had stayed, it would have been an added value and we would have gladly exploited it, but he might be thinking more about the present than the future.

'He left on August 28th, it would have been better for us if he had left earlier. It's something we paid for, there's a little shock in it for you and in my opinion we paid for it in terms of points.

'Had he gone away on August 1st, we would have had time to prepare better.'

Chiellini's Juventus defensive partner Bonucci also admited the Old Lady are playing with more togetherness after Ronaldo's Turin exit.

When asked by Sky Sport Italia if Juventus are playing more as a team without Ronaldo, the Italian defender said: 'It's absolutely true.

'In the recent past we had lost this characteristic from Juve, we were playing with a great champion like CR7 and we wanted to put him in a position to always do well, thinking he could solve all the matches.

'This year we are rediscovering that right humility that it serves to regain victory.'
