In Manchester United's Premier League match against Brentford, Cristiano Ronaldo was seen reacting angrily at David De Gea's kicking. At Old Trafford, the Portuguese international hoped to add to his 23 goals from last season and it happened as he scored from the spot. Despite a strong first-half performance, it appeared he wasn't quite satisfied. They went ahead thanks to Bruno Fernandes, who converted after some nice work from Anthony Elanga.
While Ronaldo was impressive in the early phases of the competition, not everything suited him. During the first half, the Portuguese international was seen reacting violently to De Gea's kicking, flinging his hands out in disgust.With his kick going above Ronaldo's head, it appeared he wanted his goalkeeper to concentrate harder.
When he went down in the box and was denied a penalty, the veteran was visibly irritated. However, the contact appeared to be minor, and the referee chose to overlook Ronaldo and his teammates' shouts for foul. He was also irritated by VAR's decision to overturn a goal.
Despite the fact that Ronaldo finished beautifully after an excellent assist from Juan Mata, the goal was not awarded.
Although United has had a difficult season, Ronaldo has demonstrated in recent weeks that he still has what it takes to compete at the greatest level. In March, he scored a hat-trick against Tottenham, and last month, he scored his second treble of the season against Norwich.
And he has scored 23 goals in all competitions, which is more than any other player on the team's roster. However, Ronaldo's presence at United next season is not guaranteed. With the addition of Erik ten Hag, it's probable that the forward will be offloaded because the Dutchman has his own plans.
Real Madrid has been mentioned as a possible suitor, with a cost of £10 million rumoured to be sufficient to complete a deal. And Ronaldo, who has never participated in the Europa League or the UEFA Conference League in his career, might opt out. Danny Mills, a former Leeds and Manchester City player, has encouraged Ten Hag to get away of the club's No 7 jersey.
"It's an issue if you come in with a fresh concept and a new manner of playing energetic football and Ronaldo doesn't suit that," he remarked.
"Given that he'll only be there for a year at most, is it wise to let him go now?" He doesn't play the way you want him to play, not because he's a bad player or a negative influence.
"This season, United had to adapt around him, and they'll have to do it next season until he's gone."
"Ronaldo might be a difficult one, but I am confident someone would take him," Mills had stated only days before. "Remember, they didn't overpay for him." It's not like they'll lose a lot of money due to a transfer fee. "He becomes a hindrance rather than an assist. It's 'Why isn't Ronaldo playing?' every time you lose. That is the problem you are facing. "Give yourself the opportunity to start over if you're going to start over."
