They said he was the next Cristiano, he flopped and now United taught him a harsh lesson

Manchester United has undoubted love for Cristiano Ronaldo, who is their club legend and has two spells under his belt as a Manchester United player. He most recently exited the club just midway into this season after rejoining in the summer of last season.

Cristiano Ronaldo made the sentimental return to Old Trafford after several years across Europe with Real Madrid and Juventus, where he built on his impressive career. His Old Trafford return sent the fanbase into an exciting mood.

The Red Devils fans across the globe were all delighted by his return and cheered him on. He repaid their support with incredible moments and about 24 goals last season to help United on the quest to achieving their season objectives.

 But after Erik Ten Hag took over in the summer, things with Ronaldo took a sour turn both on and off the pitch which has affected United's season. The star player left after his contract was mutually terminated last month, sending United into the transfer market for a replacement.

WHICH PLAYER WAS DUBBED RONALDO BUT FLOPPED?

While United continued their off-field transfer search, they welcomed Nottingham Forest to Old Trafford and eased past them 3-0 last night. Even former Manchester United player and current Forest player, Jesse Lingard who was once dubbed the next Cristiano Ronaldo played so terribly that he was subbed off early on in the second half.
