“Who out there wants a 38-year-old problem?”, Former Chelsea star express ‘harsh truths’ about Cristiano Ronaldo’s future after Manchester United exit

Cristiano Ronaldo and Craig Burley

Cristiano Ronaldo has faced a lot of criticism after he recently called out Manchester United and coach Erik ten Hag, alleging that the team deceived him. The Portuguese star is still a “trouble,” according to former Chelsea player Craig Burley, who has continued to criticize him.

On ESPN, Burley explained that Ronaldo’s annoyances are primarily due to his inability to accept the fact that he is no longer the great athlete he once was.

“He can’t handle the fact that he’s now a squad player at Man United,” Burley stated. “Who out there wants a 38-year-old problem?” Burley further added.

A severe reality check was also given to Cristiano Ronaldo by the former Scotland international, who said that even if Manchester United gave him permission to leave, it would be difficult for him to join a Champions League-contending team. Not now that he will shortly turn 38 and might cause his employers and their clubs a lot of trouble.

Ronaldo’s public criticism of Manchester United is undoubtedly a risky strategy because he appears to be betting his future in an effort to leave Old Trafford. His current controversy won’t go over well with other teams, as Burley predicted.

The future of the star striker is uncertain, but it is important to note that Erik ten Hag allegedly told the Red Devils that CR7 shouldn’t be permitted to play for the team again. Reports further suggest that Chelsea could emerge as favorites to sign the Portuguese in the January transfer window.
