    Absolutely spot on, everyone wants Ronaldo to be the average player… he’s not! And if I want to wreck the career of a legend and imply that he’s no use anymore, the way he’s been treated is exactly how I would. Don’t bring him into an important match even while getting whooped 6 goals but bring him on to play 2 minutes in an already won game. Kill any confidence he or anyone else have left in him and Ronaldo resists it and I ain’t mad at that at all.

    It's not that he couldn't accept being left out, he was upset with the way he was treated, and the misguided and disingenuous nature of the Manager to sabotage him. He sat him on the bench, and used strategic tactics to punish him..... Was it to teach him a lesson about not always being chosen and wanted him to see what it was like not to shine? Fine if Ronaldo was an ego driven maniac who needed to be put in his place, but that's not the case, he was a passion driven machine who wanted the team to win.
    CR7 is a legend that was disrespected and mistreated by a bully ego driven Manager who tried to put out the shining light of this star, but it backfired immensely!!!
    To try to deliberately obstruct a players talent and performance to prove a point, is bad leadership.... But Man United paid the ultimate price losing him.

      ​@imo098765 league table position has too many factors in it. (Liverpool and Chelsea have had sht years, arsenal were finding themselves, spur change managers etc)
      The only consistent team has been man city. Do league position being second or 3rd for united is circumstantial.
      The truth is that arsenal Liverpool mamchester city Newcastle and Tottenham all got better.
      If Aston villa keeps emery and Chelsea can find consistency they are also better than united.
      The only teams looking like they might regress are Liverpool and Brighton if their coaches leave. Everyone else will get better.
      2nd or 3rd is dumb analysis. Ronaldo was 37. Him being topscorer is an accomplishment regardless of how the team played.
