The Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United striker, stated that “ the Premier is, by far, the best league in the world “, in an interview offered to DAZN.
The Portuguese player admitted that the dismissal of the Norwegian Ole Gunnar Solksjaer was a tough moment: “When was, we were all sad, but it is part of life and football. When things don’t go the way the club and the fans want, the club has to change. I was disappointed, but we have to understand the club and its leaders. It was difficult, but life goes on”.
A dismissal motivated by the irregular season of Manchester United, which the Portuguese valued in the interview: “ We have time to improve, potential, team, new coach… Why don’t we think we can do better? We have to get into our heads that we are capable of changing things now. I don’t know the specific way, I am a player, not the coach or the president. I know the way, but I’m not going to say it because it would be unethical for me. This year, we have to turn the page, we have a lot to gain. We must believe in it, otherwise it will be a nightmare”.
Although the results are not as desired, Cristiano Ronaldo does not regret having returned to the club with which he won his first Ballon d’Or: “I have returned to Manchester because I love this club. I haven’t done it for the money or anything like that. I love this club and I think we have the potential to win big things, but we have to find the best way to get those results”.
The Portuguese, in addition , is clear about the objectives that the ‘Red Devils’ must pursue: “ Manchester United must win the league, be second or third. I can’t imagine another position for Manchester United. In my case, I don’t accept that our mentality is less than finishing in the top three in the Premier League”.
