Ronaldo wanted to be centre-stage but now has to head for the exit door

Striker is right in saying Manchester United have made mistakes but the club’s worst error was to re-sign him

EXIT: Cristiano Ronaldo.

The saddest aspect of Cristiano Ronaldo’s interview with Piers Morgan was that so much of it was so accurate. 

He correctly identified that Manchester United has not evolved much since he left, that the club has been undermined by terrible decision-making. When historians of the future come to write of United’s post-Ferguson struggles, the transcript will provide a very useful precis. But in his diagnosis there is a blind spot: the worst decision United have made since 2013 was to re-sign him.
