Jamie Carragher stated his views on Manchester United’s strikers, including Cristiano Ronaldo.
“If you sign Ronaldo right now, this is a short-term acquisition, from which an overnight success is expected. Manchester United is far behind on the championship, and it will be a big surprise if they win the Champions League. That’s exactly why Rangnick openly talks about the necessity of signing another striker before the next season.
The age of the two strikers, from which he has to choose, is 72 years in total. How can this be allowed at a club of this scale like Manchester United? “The club needs the best possible centre forward. It’s obvious. I think everyone gets it,” Rangnick said.
What will this mean for Ronaldo? More time on the bench next season? Even at 37, we know he’s not ready to accept it.
This is another displeasing aftereffect of signing him. Coaches will tolerate when players are unhappy about being left unattended or substituted. But they cannot stand the fact that it becomes a source of tension whenever it happens,” the ex-Liverpool player wrote in a column for The Telegraph.
