Cristiano Ronaldo vs. The World: Why Man United Fans Should Thank Him

Five time golden ball winner, Cristiano Ronaldo took the internet by storm on Sunday night by diverting the attention that was on Man United and Alejandro Garnacho’s victory against Fulham with his uncensored interview with controversial British journalist, Piers Morgan.

The interview of course received lots of attention and criticisms from those connected to the topic addressed by Ronaldo in the discussion, with the player being slammed while some stood indifferent to the opinions shared about Man United.

There is no hiding the fact that after the release of the interview, Cristiano Ronaldo is done with the Old Trafford club after the World Cup season reaches an end in December, which of course is more the reason for an interview of such explosive content will be released right after United’s final game against Fulham prior to the World Cup.

Whatever narratives the social media world or the media at large may choose to pull, Cristiano Ronaldo like he stated to Piers Morgan, may have just done Man United fans a favor in pushing the club to the next light.

The opinions he shared have been something quite a number of pundits or high profile journalists have been fearful of sharing or at least not done more to pass across to a large population of audience, and it regards how badly the club’s owners; the Glazers have ran the club.

In the interview, the former Real Madrid and Juventus star revealed some damning reports on former managers, and even criticized the club’s decision to bring in Ralf Ragnick as manager last season after the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solksjaer.

The Portugal international also revealed the poor state of the Old Trafford stadium and the Carrington training facility when compared to other top 6 sides he feels Man United should be competing with.

Ronaldo highlights in the interview how the club’s owners have done very little to change how the facilities were before he left the club for Real Madrid.

The criticisms he shares and brings to light through Piers Morgan’s platform have been opinions expressed by quite a lot of the Man United fandom recently about the club’s owners, and whatever the media may choose to say about the Portuguese, his words may end up being the catalyst for the dawn United fans badly cherish.

For now, Cristiano Ronaldo may seem like everyone’s favorite villain, but can he end up becoming Man United’s tragic hero and Sunday the 13^th of November, the night that changed the fate Old Trafford and sent Manchester City back behind United?
