Cristiano Ronaldo has reignited his criticism of Manchester United, expressing disappointment over the club\u2019s trajectory and questioning its internal structure. In a recent interview with journalist Piers Morgan, the Portuguese forward reflected on his former team\u2019s current state, offering both praise and pointed remarks about their progress under manager Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ronaldo, who left Manchester United in 2022 following a controversial interview that led to the termination of his contract, said he feels \u201csad\u201d for the club. Despite a recent four-match unbeaten run, including a notable win against Liverpool, Ronaldo remains unconvinced that the team is on the right path.<\/p>\n\n\n\nChristiano Ronaldo celebrating during his time with Manchester United.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u201cAmorim is doing his best. What is he going to do, miracles? That\u2019s impossible,\u201d Ronaldo said. He added that while the squad possesses talent, some players lack the mindset and understanding of what it means to represent Manchester United. He referenced the Sanctuary of F\u00e1tima in Portugal to emphasize that miracles are not a realistic expectation in football.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five-time Ballon d\u2019Or winner also addressed the club\u2019s broader challenges, stating that the problems extend beyond coaching and player performance. \u201cManchester United right now doesn\u2019t have a structure,\u201d Ronaldo said. \u201cIt\u2019s not only about the coach and players. They need to change. I hope that happens soon because the club has amazing potential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\nManchester United endured a difficult 2024\u201325 season, finishing 15th in the Premier League\u2014their worst-ever league result.
