Cristiano Ronaldo believes Manchester United must undergo a complete transformation to regain its former stature. In a candid discussion with his former teammate on the “Rio Ferdinand Presents” podcast, the Portuguese star emphasized the need for a change in mindset, especially among the coaches and management. Ronaldo expressed his concerns that current leadership lacks the ambition to compete for top honors like the Premier League and Champions League, which he sees as a barrier to the club’s success.
Reflecting on United’s recent struggles, Ronaldo acknowledged that while the team is still among the world’s best, it requires significant rebuilding from the ground up to remain competitive. Despite his acrimonious departure in 2022, Ronaldo expressed his enduring love for the club and his hopes for a brighter future.
