One such expert/ former professional soccer player is Liverpool veteran John Barnes. In a talk with Bonus Code Bets, he said, “I think that since Ronaldo has gone, look at Jadon Sancho, look at Marcus Rashford, a lot of players are doing better because Ronaldo overshadowed them. I think Rashford had a bit of a dip, because he wanted to be one of the main players of Man Utd, as he is.”
