Cristiano Ronaldo’s classy message to Man United after epic Juve-inspired goal | OneFootball

Former Man United ace, Cristiano Ronaldo, was on the scoresheet again on Friday, this time for Portugal, and after his brilliant goal he had a classy message for his old club post-match.

The Portuguese had inspired his side to a 5-1 win over Poland, with all of the goals coming from the 59th-minute onwards.

His own contribution other than from the penalty spot was an epic overhead kick which was reminiscent of his strike for Real Madrid against Juventus in the Champions League.

On that occasion the Bianconeri supporters rose as one to acclaim the player, no doubt contributing to his subsequent move there.

He’s edging closer to the mythical 1000 goal mark, and whether he makes that mark or not will ultimately depend on how fit he stays.

Ronaldo can certainly still justify his place in the side, rather than him being a token inclusion at the expense of someone else.

After the match, Ronaldo spoke on various subjects, not least his old club.

“I wish Man United and Ruben Amorim the best of luck in the world,” he was quoted as saying on X by Fabrizio Romano.

Amorim seems to very much favour looking forward rather than back, and for all of Ronaldo’s greatness, his is a face from Man United’s past.

Full focus now has to be on the Portuguese manager and what he can bring to the club, rather than harking back to previous regimes.
