Cristiano Ronaldo joined Manchester United from Juventus in August of last year.
Last summer, Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United.
Paul Merson, a former Arsenal and England midfielder, does not believe Cristiano Ronaldo will continue at Manchester United next season, stating that he would be "shocked" if he did.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who scored a hat-trick against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, made a stunning comeback to the club from Juventus last summer. He signed a two-year contract with the option of an extra year.
Despite the fact that Ronaldo's first season back at Old Trafford did not have the anticipated effect, with United nowhere near contending for the Premier League title, he has established himself as the club's top scorer. He now has 18 goals in all competitions this season after his trifecta on Saturday.
However, at the age of 37, Ronaldo is anticipated to begin to deteriorate in the seasons ahead, despite recently admitting that he feels he can play for another "four or five" years. Despite conceding that he is the club's "best player," Merson does not feel United can continue with a guy his age leading their attacking line.
According to Merson, who spoke That, "Do I believe he'll be back next season? Without a doubt, no. If he's still there, I'd be surprised.
"I don't believe the new management will be as accommodating. I don't believe it will work with him. That is not going to happen if you want to win the Premier League.
"I thought Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was weak, and the way things have gone, I believe Ralf Rangnick is weak as well. Someone who is coming in must be extremely powerful.
"With a 37-year-old up front, you're not going to win the league, in my opinion. The fact that he is Man United's finest player and top scorer is concerning.
"You can't say he hasn't been a success; he's the top scorer at Manchester United, the world's largest club, and he's 37." But you have to keep in mind that Man Utd is there to win championships, not just to make up numbers and finish fourth.
"He's most likely done his job, but he hasn't benefited anyone else." It may seem stupid since he's done well, but that doesn't imply no one else has."
