‘Ronaldo’s arrival had an impact on the season for these two players’, Gary Neville makes a big revelation

Both Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes have had a difficult season at Manchester United and Gary Neville has called Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival a significant moment.

According to Man Utd legend, Cristiano Ronaldo’s presence in the Red Devils dressing room meant Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire “to feel inferior”. The Red Devils have had a horror season and have gone from second to sixth place. The internal issues were long-term issues with spinoff rumors continuing to come out of Old Trafford.

Ronaldo’s arrival was seen as a huge coup for the club, but on the pitch his return coincided with a noticeable decline, both as a team and for several individuals. Maguire and Fernandes, the pair have been leaders over the past 18 months as United showed signs of improvement.

“I think Bruno sees him as a godfather in Portugal, so it made him feel a little less than before. This made Maguire somewhat inferior as a captain. Harry Maguire has gone from someone who I think grew up on the pitch during Covid last season to someone who now looks crestfallen donning a red shirt. Bruno looks like half the player. †
