The following is a breaking news report: “If they want to be as powerful as Manchester City, then they need to appoint this particular manager.” Christiano Ronaldo identifies the only person in charge who has the ability to fully transform Manchester United. If only Man United is gonna listen to Ronaldo, then we are good to go 😭
Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent comments were primarily aimed at the Glazer family, who had initially believed that bringing him back to Manchester United would prove to be a transformative decision for the club. However, this strategy did not yield the results they had hoped for. Shortly after Ronaldo’s return, the Glazers decided to explore options for selling the club and attracting new strategic investments.
Around 13 months later, Ineos, a company led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, finalized their investment in Manchester United, signaling the start of an ambitious plan to rejuvenate the club both on and off the pitch. Under Ineos’s stewardship, the club has embarked on a new phase of development.
One of the initial steps taken under Ineos’s leadership was a reshaped approach in the transfer market. Now, the focus has shifted to crucial infrastructure projects essential for Manchester United’s growth.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has ambitious plans for the club, which include the possible construction of a new stadium with a seating capacity of 100,000. Efforts are already underway to enhance the Carrington training ground, aligning it with the standards expected of an elite football club.
Ronaldo had previously criticized the club’s facilities in a controversial 2022 interview, noting the lack of significant upgrades between his departure in 2009 and his return in 2021. In a recent discussion with Rio Ferdinand, as reported by The Sun, Ronaldo expressed approval of the improvements being made by Ineos. He acknowledged that while Manchester United is among the world’s top clubs, it was in dire need of substantial changes.
He highlighted the comprehensive transformation underway, which includes structural, leadership, and infrastructural changes, particularly mentioning the ongoing upgrades at Carrington. Despite his disappointment with past events, Ronaldo conceded that certain matters are beyond one’s control but expressed optimism about the club’s current progress and future direction.
