“Anderson has raised doubts about Manchester United’s choice to allow Cristiano Ronaldo to depart, considering his impressive tally of 54 goals for both the club and the national team in 2023.
“Former Manchester United player Anderson, who once shared a residence with Ronaldo in England, expressed to Globo why the Red Devils might be regretting their decision to part ways with the legendary player: “When Cristiano returned… it’s Cristiano Ronaldo, you have to protect him. Currently, Cristiano has scored 50 goals. ‘Oh, but it’s in Saudi Arabia,’ but he has 50 goals! From three opportunities, he will convert two, that’s a fact. Opponents fear playing against him. Nowadays, nobody is afraid to face Manchester. They are aware that Manchester is enduring successive defeats. Ronaldo arrived during a period when Manchester was undergoing reconstruction and scored 25 goals. And then he departed.”
