Wayne Rooney, 36, former Manchester United and England legend and current manager of DC United in the U.S. MLS, has suggested that “Manchester United should release Ronaldo,” referring to his former colleague Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, of Manchester United. Manchester United should let Ronaldo go,” he suggested.
Rooney, doesn’t think 37-year-old Ronaldo can have the same kind of success for the next three to four years.
In a column for The Times, Rooney said, “I think Manchester United should let Ronaldo go to another club. I am not saying he cannot play for new manager Tenhague’s team. Ronaldo can play for any team.
‘Ronaldo will always score. But from my personal point of view, Manchester United is not a team that can challenge for the title at the moment. But from my personal point of view, Manchester United is not a team that can challenge for the title at the moment. That is the plan we have to make,” he said.
I don’t think Ronaldo, 37, will be able to do the same for the next three to four years. Then I think it is possible to release Ronaldo and build a team as per Tenhag’s plan. It is said that Ronaldo himself would like to move to a European Champions League (CL) club, and I agree with Rooney’s assertion.
However, it is not that simple. This summer, Ronaldo’s agent, Georges Mendes, has been trying to sell Ronaldo to other top clubs. However, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and Atletico Madrid all said “no, thanks. Even talks with his old club, Sporting, failed to make progress.
All clubs are building their teams with the future in mind. No matter how many stars are expected to score 20 goals this season, they are not going to immediately raise their hands from a mid- to long-term perspective. Releasing Ronaldo is no easy task either.
Manchester United played their season opener against Kaoru Misumi’s Brighton on April 7. Ronaldo started on the bench because he was late for preseason training and was not in perfect condition.
However, Manchester United suddenly conceded two goals in the first half alone. Tenhag then brought on Ronaldo eight minutes into the second half. It was only natural that he should be used, since he was on the bench. But he still said, “It’s the same as last year again, isn’t it? I had to think, “Now we can’t make the team 100% the way Tenhague wants this season.
Ronaldo’s presence is, for lack of a better word, like a drug. The moment he is used, he scores points and helps the team. But it is temporary and only postpones the renewal of the team. By the way, Ronaldo did not score against Brighton and the team lost 1-2.
If there is no one to take Ronaldo back, he will have to wait until the end of this season, when his contract expires. After that, can Manchester United be reborn? It will be interesting to see.
