Latest Football Transfer News Today: This summer, Manchester United welcomed Cristiano Ronaldo back to Old Trafford. Since then, the Red Devils' prodigal son has picked up where he left off 12 years ago.
Cristiano Ronaldo, according to a former Dutch footballer, has caused a problem for Manchester United since his arrival. Newcastle United is allegedly interested in signing a Red Devils striker. Let's take a look at the biggest Manchester United transfer stories making it into the football headlines recently.
Has Cristiano Ronaldo become the trouble maker for Manchester United?
Danny Blind, a former Dutch footballer, feels Cristiano Ronaldo is to blame for Manchester United's problems. Since coming at Old Trafford, the Portuguese striker has scored five goals in six appearances for the Red Devils. Blind, on the other hand, think that Cristiano Ronaldo has harmed the team's balance. The Dutchman went on to say that a lack of pressing by the Portuguese is an issue that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must address right now.
-You are not going to change Cristiano anymore in his thinking and his approach to the game. So Solskjaer will have to come up with a playing style of his team where Cristiano can still flourish and the team can still put their opponent under pressure.-
Blind went on to say that with Cristiano Ronaldo heading the assault, Manchester United has lost its bearings.
-Cristiano has come back and scored some important goals. But his presence in the team requires a different way of thinking tactically. Normally, you would expect that the striker is the first man to chase the defenders of the opposition. He will run from one defender to the other. But the team has lost its orientation. They are not in their confident structure now Ronaldo is upfront,- said Blind.
Edinson Cavani is a new favourite for Newcastle United.
According to The Hard Tackle through Defensa Central, Newcastle United are interested in Edinson Cavani. Following the arrival of their new owners, the Magpies are contemplating a massive squad makeover and have turned their attention to the Uruguayan striker. Since Cristiano Ronaldo joined Manchester United, Cavani has struggled to find playing time. He had a strong season for the Red Devils in 2020-21, scoring 17 goals in all competitions.
Unless his condition improves in the next months, the Uruguayan may be compelled to evaluate his options. Newcastle is attempting to persuade Cavani to lead the team's assault. As a stopgap measure, the Magpies will transport the forward to St. James' Park in January.
Manchester United's top player is being pushed to quit the club.
Donny van de Beek's association with Manchester United should come to an end, according to Ian Wright. Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger believes the Dutchman will never thrive at Old Trafford and that he should leave in search of regular game time.
-The signing was wrong. At this stage, I-ve not seen him play three games on the spin for Man United. It-s gone wrong. He-s got to get out of there because it-s not going to work for him at Man United. He-s not going to get the opportunity to play and he should be playing because he-s a fantastic player,- said Wright.
