Christiano Ronaldo rejoined Manchester United from Juventus in 2021, and he scored 19 goals in 40 appearances. He couldnt replicate the same performance in the new season. He had challenges with the new Manchester United Manager, Eric Tang who wanted him to be part of the team and not the main forward. As a result of this, his form dipped and he developed an attitude, which affected his overall performance as a player. Furthermore, at the Qatar 2022 World Cup, he could only score one goal from the penalty spot and his overall performance at the ongoing world cup has not really being encouraging. On the 10th of December 2022, Portugal lost to Morrocco in the Quarter finals at the ongoing World Cup in Qatar. Christiano Ronaldo came in the second half of the game, but his efforts couldnt help the team. is this the end of Christiano Ronaldo? Time would tell, if we would see Christiano Ronaldo in the Euros, hosted by Germany in 2024 or the World Cup in 2026.
