Ex-Liverpool player Jamie Carragher has disclosed that Manchester United’s move to sign Cristiano Ronaldo last summer made the Red Devils look like a small club.
He made this statement on Sky Sports.
Jamie Carragher further claimed that the transfer was ‘just to lift the fans’ like when Wayne Rooney returned to boyhood club Everton from United and questioned whether incoming manager Erik Ten Hag will want Ronaldo in his team.
“My problem has always been with Man United for buying Cristiano Ronaldo.One of the biggest clubs in the world should not be buying a 37-year-old.”
“I’ve always been of the opinion that they should move him o,but right now,there are so many problems-I need to get a midfielder,I need to get a centre-back.We’ve seen this season that when Ronaldo doesn’t play or gets brought off,it’s a massive story.
“If you bring in strikers,are they to play or back up Ronaldo? If you’re the new manager,you might think you don’t need that on your plate.
“They’ve got other problems.Would Liverpool bring back Luis Suarez? I don’t think so.United should be getting Erling Haaland.Man City are getting him.
“It’s like United are a small club.It’s like when Rooney went back to Everton.It was just to lift the fans.”
