Despite Cristiano Ronaldo’s problems, Manchester United won a tense 3-2 comeback win over Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League on October 6.
United attempted to be too complex at first, with Antony, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Bruno Fernandes all missing chances.
Fans Reaction to Ronaldo’s performance
His inability to score against the Cypriots provoked outrage online, with supporters concerned about the forward’s form. Many people believe that the 37-year-old has been unfortunate this season, which is why he has failed to reach peak form.
One fan said, “Ronaldo should retire from football after this season it’s clearly not working for him anymore”.
Another fan tweeted, “Ronaldo destroyed Juventus and he is doing the same with United, 2nd without him, 6th with him. He destroys clubs and then leaves”.
A third said, “Ronaldo still hasn’t scored an open play goal this season and we are in the middle of October”.
Ronaldo’s season so far
Football fans are concerned about Cr7’s lack of incisiveness in front of goal this season. The Manchester United forward has had a sluggish start to the new season, with his solitary goal coming against Sheriff in the Europa League.
He has been demoted to the bench due to his lack of form, with numerous youngsters now ahead of him in the pecking order. Many anticipated he would redeem himself after being chosen to the starting XI against Omnia in the Europa League on Thursday night.
Unfortunately, the Portuguese star struggled to make an impression and was unable to strike the back of the goal. His finest scoring chance of the game came when he rattled the post, missing a golden opportunity to reach 700 goals.
Match Report
Omonia put up a valiant fight against one of the Europa League’s powerhouses, but Manchester United came out on top. The Red Devils needed to recover from their 6-3 loss to Manchester City last weekend and will be relieved to have returned to winning ways.
United manager Erik ten Hag, on the other hand, will be concerned about his defence, which made life easy for Omonia in the two goals the Cypriot minnows scored.
Ten Hag’s men will travel to Goodison Park on October 9 to face Everton in the Premier League.
