Will Manchester United succeed without Ronaldo?
When Ronaldo left United for Real Madrid this summer for a record fee of £80 millions the Old Lady fans started to worry about the “life after Ronaldo“.
Although they have received assurances from management and the players that his absence will not be felt, however it seems that the situation is worse then expected.
Manchester dealt with the same situation few years ago when Beckham and Nistelrooy left the club also for Real Madrid but now the things are more complicated.
After two Premier League games Manchester have managed to scored only one goal and more than that they lost to new promoted Burnley.
On the other hand Ronaldo is not having the best moments at Real Madrid. Many think that he is in the same situation like Zidane when he signed for Real Madrid. The record transfer fee, the fans expectations, the different style of play, all this influences are not good for Ronaldo.
Anyway like any other football player he need time to settle and I’m sure he will not disappoint.
