Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly used to ignore current Manchester United leader under Ruben Amorim

During his second tenure at Manchester United, club legend Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly dismissed one of the team’s current leaders under Ruben Amorim.

Ruben Amorim’s arrival at Manchester United has sparked optimism, thanks to his tactical acumen and ability to manage players effectively. However, it seems that harmony in the dressing room wasn’t always the norm, as reports suggest club legend Cristiano Ronaldo used to dismiss one of United’s current leaders.

Ronaldo’s much-anticipated return to Old Trafford in 2021, after being swayed by Sir Alex Ferguson to reject Manchester City, didn’t unfold as expected. Under then-coach Erik ten Hag, tensions in the locker room grew, culminating in Ronaldo reportedly showing disdain toward the team captain.

According to The Telegraph, Ronaldo would roll his eyes whenever Harry Maguire spoke in the dressing room. “The veteran Uruguay center-half Sebastian Coates, once of Liverpool, became a key pillar in Amorim’s Sporting side and the Portuguese coach appears to have earmarked a similar role for Maguire in the middle of his back three. No one is rolling their eyes in that dressing room any more when Maguire speaks, as Cristiano Ronaldo was known to do,” wrote James Ducker.

After arriving from Leicester City in 2019 for a record-breaking £80 million fee, Maguire was swiftly named captain by then-manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. However, his leadership and inconsistent performances were met with criticism, and in 2023, Erik ten Hag stripped Maguire of the captaincy, handing it to Bruno Fernandes.

Maguire’s revival under Amorim

When Amorim took charge, questions loomed over Maguire’s future at the club, given his traditional center-back style that seemed at odds with Amorim’s dynamic approach. Yet, Maguire has silenced critics with commanding performances and a revitalized leadership presence.

After recovering from a knee injury that sidelined him during Erik ten Hag’s final games, Maguire returned to form with standout displays, first against Liverpool in the Premier League and then in the FA Cup clash against Arsenal. These performances solidified his place in Amorim’s starting XI.

Maguire, who once considered leaving for West Ham in 2023, decided to remain at Manchester United. Now, it seems his commitment has paid off. With his contract set to expire in June 2025, Amorim confirmed that the club will exercise the option to extend his deal until 2026.

I spoke with him this morning and told him he needs to improve his game on the pitch,” Amorim shared in a press conference. “We need him a lot, and he also needs to grow as a leader. We all know the challenges he faced here, but we’re happy to trigger the option for Harry.”

Amorim further praised Maguire’s transformation into a key figure for the squad, quite the opposite compared to his situation when Cristiano Ronaldo was around: “When you look at our team we are starving for leaders on the pitch. He is a leader, he has to improve that part, he has to improve his game so we are happy to continue with Harry.”

BBC Sport plans major shake-up as it axes 27 jobs and ends iconic show in cost-saving proposal

BBC Sport is set to axe 27 jobs and end its iconic Sportsday programme as part of cost-saving measures.

Staff were informed of the significant shake-up on Wednesday by director of sport Alex Kay-Jelski, and most have been offered voluntary redundancy.

The proposal will involve the closure of 27 positions, but those impacted may be able to apply for 27 newly created jobs.

Sportsday’s 6.30pm daily slot on the BBC News channel will also be cut, with many of its presenters likely to be affected, reports The Times.

The BBC said the changes would be subject to consultation with trade unions and that the savings were being delivered as part of its Value for All strategy.
