Former Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo believes he could end the Old Trafford-based team’s issues if he was the owner of the club. Newly appointed head coach Ruben Amorim has lost five of his 10 games in charge of United and thus he is under the pump.
United have lost four of their last five games and they haven’t been at their best. The Portuguese manager has admitted that his job at United is not safe.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo, who scored 145 goals during his two stints for Manchester United, had earlier criticized the management in his explosive interview with Piers Morgan, stating the club is following old strategies.
“The Premier League it’s the most difficult league in the world,” Ronaldo, now playing for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, said at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on Friday.
“All the teams are good, all the teams fight, all the teams run, all the players are strong. Football is different right now. There’s no easy games anymore.
“I said this one and a half years ago, and I will continue to say it: The problem is not the coaches.
“It’s like an aquarium. If you have the fish inside and he’s sick and you take him out and you fix the problem and you put him again in an aquarium they will be sick again.
“The problem of Manchester United is the same. The problem is not always the coach. It’s much more than that.
“If I will be the owner of the club, I will make things clear and adjust what I think is bad there.”
Ronaldo hinted that he might own a club in the near future after his retirement.
“I’m not a coach. I’m never going to be a coach, president of the club? No. Maybe owner of the club,” he said.
“It will depend on the moment, the right opportunities.”
Manchester United will next take on Newcastle United at Old Trafford on Monday night.
