The Portuguese star's summer was very complicated as he sought a forced exit from the Old Trafford club, the main reason being that he did not want to stay at the club that was to compete in this season's Champions League, where the 37-year-old striker is the all-time leading scorer in the European competition, he wanted to keep scoring goals in that international tournament.
Now that the player went through a complicated period where he even missed the pre-season, he has been able to regain the confidence he had put aside, it cost him a lot, he even came from the bottom with a secondary role in the Old Trafford team, a situation to which Cristiano Ronaldo is not used to. In recent games he has had a lot of involvement, since he didn't play in the Manchester Derby to be exact.
Time to give the team captain a rest, he hasn't been playing well lately
Cristiano Ronaldo likes playing against Newcastle because of this situation
The club has been patient with this player who was not in his best form, but even the Dutch coach, Erik ten Hag, commented on his progress in the team, arguing that he has improved in many ways, his body is again in rhythm, he has raised his condition and way of playing, something that at the beginning of the season he did not have, the Portuguese star has improved in many requirements, they know that he is very competitive and he was going to deliver.
Now that the player has minutes and direct participation as the starting striker, we have witnessed that the player does not get balls to have options to score goals, no doubt the striker must be assisted by the creative players of the club, which have not responded to the height, the two wings of the team are not having productivity, Sancho and Antony did not play well.
The options of players who can associate have been reduced, but not even the midfielders who play more forward have helped him, the specific case of Bruno Fernandes who has been far from his level, and that he is the captain of the Red Devils, no doubt Cristiano to start a scoring streak will need his Man Utd teammates.
