Cristiano Ronaldo: Arsene Wenger Reveals Major Problem With Manchester Utd Star by MangekyoAlt(op): 10:11am On Oct 25, 2021
Arsene Wenger believes Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival at Manchester United has created a problem for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer because the 36-year-old has upset the balance of the team.

The Portugal captain rejoined United on deadline day in August for a fee of around £12million after three seasons with Juventus.

However, despite an impressive six goals in nine appearances for the Red Devils since his return, United’s performances have been dismal and Sunday’s 5-0 defeat to Liverpool was the worst of the campaign so far.

The pressure on Solskjaer’s position is now mounting, particularly with Tottenham, Manchester City and Chelsea to come in the Premier League.

And, though Wenger insists it was not a ‘mistake’ to re-sign Ronaldo, he believes the veteran has caused Solskjaer a problem by upsetting the balance of the side.

‘I wouldn’t say it was a mistake but certainly some emotional impact was in there because he has been a fantastic player,’ said Wenger.

‘No, I believe Ronaldo can still score you the goals you need. Can he repeat every three games, very high intensity games? That’s certainly less the case today but let’s not forget he was the hero three days ago.

‘When you buy a player like that, the secret is the balance of the team. To play Ronaldo, he can win you games, but you need to create the balance around him.’


United have privately backed Solskjaer but that was before the embarrassment of the defeat to their arch rivals in their own back yard.

Antonio Conte is a leading candidate for the job and the Italian is available having left Inter Milan at the end of last season.

However, the former Chelsea boss is said to want assurances that the club are serious about competing for the Champions League before he considers taking over from Solskjaer.

He beeped up by joining manure, and we're gonna see more of what happened yesterday.
I don't even know what Ronaldo was thinking when he returned back to EPL. Something tells me it's because messi moved. He wouldn't have moved had messi remained at FCB. just my assumption.

Meanwhile, the EPL is the "All eyes on you" league. If you play and live upto your hype, they will praise you. All the pundits would hype and high ball you.

But the moment you fail to live upto what is expected of you. Na then you go know how far. You'll see how toxic the English fans are.

Na on a weekly basis you go dey see news like "carragher blast Ronaldo" "HE only cares about goals - Micah slams Ronaldo"
"HE doesn't press enough"
"He's the problem of the team"

In juventus, he was the problem there. But no one talked about it.
But now that he's in England, they've noticed how he doesn't press hard like other strikers in the league and they've berated him for that.

He has even tried to excuse himself by saying he is already 36 years old, on sky'sports.

You're already 36 years old and you still decided to go to a very high intensity league?

That's just an excuse. Ronaldo should face whatever criticism is ditched at to him. He brought it upon himself. Mr new challenge
Re: Cristiano Ronaldo: Arsene Wenger Reveals Major Problem With Manchester Utd Star by kenzysmith:
That anger ronaldo shows yesterday is regrets for following Ferguson advice to sign for manutd and not Manchester city.
The anger on Ferguson face yesterday that he thinks he let ronaldo down by not allowing ronaldo to follow is choice because he personally was involved in the convincing. If u watch recently Alex Ferguson body language against ole u will know is because of ronaldo.
Something Ferguson has not done to any manutd coach since he retired
If ronaldo was not signed manutd owners will be OK with just finishing top4 with the excuse of a building process but the emergence of ronaldo means gunning for the EpL or champions league is a must and there comes the pressure .Mark my word ole won't last till March due to Cristiano Ronaldo image

Finally, someone has said it.
He was never in Ole's plans. Ole is better when players want to play for him. Now everyone has been directed to play for Ronaldo.

Re: Cristiano Ronaldo: Arsene Wenger Reveals Major Problem With Manchester Utd Star by Kingcalls:
When u give a ferrari to a danfo driver to drive , he will complain about the car , his passenger will also complain about the car...

I'm a real madrid fan... in 2016 Benitez took over real madrid after ancelotti left... from August to December, Ronaldo was a shadow of himself, he had only 5 league goals an 2 champions league goals...real madrid were 6th on the log , they cudnt even beat legia Warsaw home and away in the group. people like wenger and messi minions said Ronaldo was the problem and that he was too selfish and not helping the team that he was past his best and had aged.... I remember them saying his game play was affecting Bale
... real analyst knew benitez was the problem...the moment zidane took charge in January, he changed tactics ...and Ronaldo turned to a beast , real madrid ended up winning champions league with Ronaldo who had only 2 goals in the group, ending as top scorer with 12 goals, ended as la liga 2nd top scorer only behind suarez ... and lost the league only on the final day... Ronaldo is like a ferrari , only very tactically gifted coaches can operate him.... Ferguson, Mourinho, ancelloti and zidane are gifted coaches...not people like ole , Benitez ,pirlo, that smoker that coached Chelsea or pellegrini .... even in Portugal his national team, his coach Santos understands how to use him , the former Portuguese coaches dint ...since Santos took over his goals increased and it helped the team to their 2 major international trophies...

Man u should get zidane or conte and they will win this league despite being 8 points behind and the CL , even with Fred.... man u is too big for ole ....

The second half against atalanta on Wednesday shows u how brutal Ronaldo can be if the team gets it right ...
Re: Cristiano Ronaldo: Arsene Wenger Reveals Major Problem With Manchester Utd Star by FisifunKododada: 3:14pm On Oct 25, 2021
After yesterday's performance I can bet ANY amount of money that Man U will not win the EPL this season. That kind of performance shows that the problem in the team is deep and it will take a new manager with tough mentality to fix it. And by the time the problem is fixed, it will be too late for Man U to catch up with City, Chelsea and Liverpool.

Stupid talk from a supposed veteran coach

Same thing they said in juventus but guess what? The days Ronaldo did not play, teams were still beating Juventus. Btw, if Man United were good then why have the fans being shouting "oleout" even before Ronaldo came
Re: Cristiano Ronaldo: Arsene Wenger Reveals Major Problem With Manchester Utd Star by babzo(m): 3:15pm On Oct 25, 2021
Please what happened..did they loose because of Ronaldo. What was he doing that he couldn't even score 2 goals. Is he not the GOAT.
How did he almost get a red card?
Is Messi now the GOAT?
Please forgive me, I don't follow Premiership like that or soccer anymore like before.

He should have been given a red card yesterday.

He was a disgrace.

Man u needs to change their coach before they will be able to contend with likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and City.

The Media gang up against Ronaldo is so huge.
Before the arrival of Ronaldo man utd have been struggling.

Media won't even tell you that Psg hasn't scored a single goal in league when Boliviaman is playing
Re: Cristiano Ronaldo: Arsene Wenger Reveals Major Problem With Manchester Utd Star by omonla10(m): 3:16pm On Oct 25, 2021
Man Utd buying Ronaldo will never make sense.. Ronaldo is obsessed with numbers and records. This can only spell doom for a club with aspirations.

Same with Messi.psg are obviously weaker with him. These guys are old, the have achieved all, and above all, they are a millisecond slower than what modern football requires..

Watch Thierry Henry's comeback to arsenal? He was mainly used as a supersub.. These young players egos need to be boosted and not placed under these supposed goats

As in eh.......the same Ronaldo has even been saving them. Against Atlaanta they would have lost or drawn that game till Ronaldo scored at the end of the match
