Manchester United Given Cristiano Ronaldo Headache Amidst Dying Champions League Hopes

Manchester United fans are going through a tough time this season. The club’s performances seem to drop lower every matchday, and there’s been no respite for those who stand by the club, including the club’s talismanic striker, Cristiano Ronaldo.

His addition was supposed to be the one thing that took the club forward into the new season. United had finished in second place last season, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team had been improved with the additions of Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane along with Ronaldo.

However, it all went wrong this season, as Solskjaer was sacked in the middle of the season, and the club is now out of contention for all trophies. They are also in danger of missing out on the UCL now.

Cristiano Ronaldo might leave Manchester United next season

United’s loss against Everton on Saturday was one of the worst displays of football from the club. A win would’ve seen them capitalize on Arsenal’s defeat and rise in the Premier League table, but it wasn’t to be. Ronaldo couldn’t capitalize on Manchester United’s attack, and the club is now sitting in 7th place in the table.

It has been widely reported that the club will lose Cristiano Ronaldo if they fail to qualify for the UCL this season, and that seems like a certainty at this point. Ralf Rangnick, the club’s interim manager, has failed to get a handle on this team, and nothing is working for the German manager.

United’s prospects for the future

United have been strongly linked to Ajax boss Erik Ten Hag, but he is unlikely to join the club before the end of the season. As a result, all of their hopes land on Rangnick to get them across the line and into European competition somehow.

United have only won 47% of their games under Rangnick in the League, a number which is just not good enough to guarantee European football. It’ll be interesting to see where they end up at the end of the season, but things are not looking good for the Reds.
