Currently the team’s highest goalscorer, Ronaldo has quickly become the key marksman at Old Trafford. This is what makes the words of former Liverpool star Jason McAteer rather interesting.
Even though the 36-year-old has carried United in recent weeks, McAteer believes that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should drop Ronaldo, claiming that he shouldn’t play every match. Comparing Ronaldo and Liverpool’s Thiago Alcantara, McAteer explained:
This will certainly cause a stir among Manchester United fans, especially after Solskjaer’s decision to start Ronaldo on the bench against Everton and was questioned. The star has consistently bailed United - and Solskjaer - out of tough situations, scoring a late equalizer against Atalanta and a stoppage-time winner against Villareal in the Champions League.
However, McAteer’s comments about Liverpool star Thiago will likely resonate among Kopites. The former Bayern star faces a lot of competition in a midfield that includes Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Naby Keita. He has also struggled with injuries and will likely not be fit enough to play every game.
