“It was a mistake to sign Cristiano Ronaldo” the statement that shocks the world (VIDEO)

For Ole Gunnar Solskjaer it was a mistake for Manchester United to have signed Cristiano Ronaldo back in 2021 as his second spell was far below expectations and he ended up fighting with manager Erik Ten Hag, so he did not leave a worthy image at the club.

Cristiano Ronaldo's Second Stint at Manchester United

Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Manchester United in 2021 was met with immense excitement from fans around the world. A legend at Old Trafford during his first spell, Ronaldo was expected to provide a much-needed boost to the team's attacking prowess.

Key highlights and challenges of his second stint:

• Initial Impact: Ronaldo started his second stint with a bang, scoring crucial goals in the Champions League and Premier League. His return ignited the fanbase and gave the team a much-needed confidence boost.
• Adapting to a changing United: However, as the season progressed, it became evident that the Manchester United of 2021 was a far cry from the team Ronaldo had left in 2009. The team struggled for consistency and faced challenges in implementing a clear playing style.
• Controversies and departures: Ronaldo's relationship with the club became strained, particularly after the departure of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. His public criticisms of the club and some of his teammates led to a strained relationship with the new manager, Erik ten Hag. Ultimately, his contract was terminated by mutual consent in November 2022.

Overall, Ronaldo's second spell at Manchester United was a mixed bag. While he undoubtedly brought excitement and goals to the team, the circumstances surrounding his departure left a sour taste. The club's inability to build a team capable of challenging for major honors and Ronaldo's desire for a more competitive environment contributed to his eventual exit.
