Here's what happens when Cristiano doesn't play, the club improved without him

Since summer dragged a lot of controversy when the 37 year old Portuguese star tried to force his way out, he did not want to stay in the team that did not qualify for the current Champions League, in that tournament he has his historical numbers and did not want to lose the opportunity to continue showing that he can break many records, he was determined to leave the club, he had no alternative that varied in this club, he was looking to find a better balance.

Due to his very high salary and that the player had a contract that expired in a year, he did not get an important offer for the player to leave Old Trafford, he wanted to join a project where he could excel in that competition, the only thing he managed was to miss the preseason of the Dutch coach, Erik ten Hag, who did not like to see Cristiano not rejoin the team, he was a new coach and did not show commitment to this player.

They have tried to convince him to sign, they want to sign this defender

He had to participate with a secondary role, he had many failures to associate as a team, he failed to maintain a style where he could highlight a good game development, he was the scorer last season and in this one he had reduced minutes, he lost his hierarchy in the dressing room, he was exhibited with his team for wanting to leave the club, he also could not find the way in which he could respond in a great way, he was losing prominence.

Recently he has had dialogue with Erik ten Hag and the team management, they have taken the decision that if he does not take his secondary role in the team they will have to terminate his contract, so to let him free six months before its expiration, they do not want to have him in the dressing room without adding and unhappy with his situation, he had not had a good level of play, they were not playing in the best way, he had several problems to convince the team and fans.

Now he has very little credibility to be a player worthy of being a team player, he has had many failures in his development as a leader of the club, he has moved away from this option in the club, he has had behaviours that go against the good step of the team, they do not forgive him that he has abandoned his teammates before the match ends, they were winning convincingly against Tottenham at Old Trafford, he was a substitute and Erik ten Hag wanted to put him in the last minutes, the Portuguese star took it badly and left the stadium when the match was still not over.

Cristiano Ronaldo closed doors, the team is better without his presence

The player had activity in recent weeks, has not been at an optimal level, has failed in different ways with the team, has been a constant that has affected the club, these last two games have had more relevance, in one of them they won showing good offensive, was the game that the team scored more goals, and it was without the presence of the Portuguese star of 37 years, against Aston Villa in Carabao Cup, and now in Premier League against Fulham, did not play due to illness.
