According to the statements of English pundit Jamie Carragher calls out According to the statements of English pundit Jamie Carragher, Cristiano Ronaldo is the major problem of Manchester United. The former Liverpool man believes the Red Devils made a mistake in adding Ronaldo to their ranks. Furthermore, he pointed out that their only way of correcting the mistake, is if the forward is shown the exit door sooner rather than later.
Ronaldo's arrival and stats
The five-time Balon d'Or winner made a return to Old Trafford in the deadline of the summer transfer window. He was welcomed largely by the fans concerning the legendary status he created before his departure 12 years ago. In terms of goal scoring, Ronaldo has not had a bad season with the old Trafford giants. In fact, he has already hit double figures with them. To put things precisely, Ronaldo has netted 15 times in al competitions for Manchester United.
Carragher's point
The pundit has not overlooked the fact that Ronaldo has hard an average season in terms of his goals. However, Carragher insists he should be sold with respect to his overall game play. In terms of an all round game play, Ronaldo's performances leaves so much to be desired. His hold up play is appalling, he has been misfiring of late aside from the goal against Brighton. And the ageing factor is there to consider as well.
Looking at his goalscoring abilities, one may be in a hurry to castigate statements made by Carragher. However, there are a lot of truths in them. With age no longer on Ronaldo's side, it is essential Manchester United look elsewhere for their goal-scoring concerns
