How Ronaldo Makes a Difference to Manchester United⚽
But not in the way you think!
All right, I’m not gonna bore you with the stats and the drama of an introduction. We all know the legendary status of CR7. But other than his hunger for goals, what does he bring to Manchester United?
A Winning Mentality
Having already added Raphaël Varane, the signing of Ronaldo will further lift this team that so desperately needed someone who not only has the experience of winning trophies but is also vocal enough as a leader. So far Paul Pogba was the only one who fitted this description and well, he’s been surrounded with far too many controversies none of which were his fault (at least in my opinion) to be trusted. Such a respected personality in the dressing room is sure to give the right direction to the squad both in their highs and in their lows.
A Teacher
A vastly experienced, ‘been there, done that’ guy, Ronaldo is sure to help a squad brimming with young talented attackers.
“While it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experiences of others.”
And this is exactly what the likes of Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood, Jadon Sancho, Amad Diallo, Facundo Pellestri, Tahith Chong, Anthony Elanga and Shola Shoretire need to keep in mind. Learn from the master to one day become the master!
A Challenge for Ole Gunnar Solskjær
While Ole will surely be happy with Ronaldo’s signing, he can be a difficult person to manage, especially for a relatively inexperienced manager at the top level. While the fact that he played alongside him in previous years at United is sure to help him, he will not make it easy for Ole, especially when his defensive work rate is at the opposite end of the spectrum when compared to Edinson Cavani, something that Ole can no longer take for granted. Nonetheless, I’m sure Ole will embrace this challenge with open arms.
Viva Ronaldo,
Viva Ronaldo,
Running down the wing,
Hear United sing,
Viva Ronaldo!
