Ronaldo: Amorim will do well with the club I love
Cristiano Ronaldo has backed Ruben Amorim to turn around the fortunes of Manchester United, just as he did with Sporting Lisbon in Portugal.
Speaking at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai where he was named Best Middle East Player of 2024, Ronaldo has expressed his hopes for Amorim to succeed with the club he loves.
He did a fantastic job in Portugal with my Sporting. But the Premier League is a different beast, the most competitive league in the world. I knew that it would be tough and they will continue the storm. But the storm will finish and the sun will rise. Fingers crossed, it will be good with him and I hope the best for Manchester United because it is a club I still love.
Ronaldo left United under a cloud following his second spell at Old Trafford when giving a damning interview with Piers Morgan. The legendary former no.7 reflected on that interview and claimed nothing has changed at the club since then.
I said this one year and a half ago and I will continue to say it: the problem is not the coaches. It’s like the aquarium and you have the fish inside and it’s sick, and you take him out and fix the problem. If you put it back in the aquarium it will be sick again. This is the problem of Manchester United. It is the same.
If I were the owner of the club I would make things clear and adjust what I think is bad there. I’m still very young, I have so many plans and dreams ahead. Mark my words I will be owner of a big club, for sure.
