Premier League | The numbers of a “betrayed” Cristiano Ronaldo in ‘free fall’ at Manchester United

The “betrayed” Cristiano Ronaldo, with much less participation than usual, has scored 3 goals in 16 games this season for Manchester United

In Qatar 2022, in charge of Portugal, he will have the chance to redeem himself before returning to the Camp Nou in the Europa League playoffs

“They betrayed me,” Cristiano Ronaldo told ‘The Sun’. The Portuguese champion, in the second year of his second spell at Manchester United, and with the arrival on the bench of Ten Hag’s ‘red devils’, which he has already declared that he does not respect, has seen how his participation in the team has drastically decreased. as well as their number, scoring just three goals in 16 games.

Coming to be removed from the squad against Chelsea for his ‘leak’ before the end of the match against Tottenham, Cristiano has played in 10 of 16 Premier League games, coming on as a substitute as at the start and contributing just one goal in domestic competition.

Over time

Last year, in which he finished as his side’s top scorer, he had already scored seven Premier League goals by this point. Of course, he played everything, but with the arrival of the Dutch coach at Old Trafford and at the age of 37, his playing time has drastically reduced. The ‘7’ went from 1,028 participants on matchday 16 of 2021/22 to 520 in the current.

The truth is that Ten Hag doesn’t trust him and beyond the declarations, it can be seen in the 4′ played against Liverpool, 32′ against Arsenal and Manchester derby substitutions and against Tottenham.

Is Barça waiting for you in the Europa League or not?

Unlike what happened in the league, Ronaldo played all the Europa League games, accumulating more minutes than in the Premier League (531). This allowed him to see the goal on two occasions, both against Sheriffand distributes two assists, despite also wasting unsuitable opportunities for the top scorer in the history of the Champions League, Real Madrid and national teams.

He is expected to return to the Camp Nou in the European competition playoffs, but after his latest statements, whether it will force an exit in January remains to be seen looking for more prominence.
