Manchester United: Cristiano Ronaldo believes Ruben Amorim is doomed to fail | OneFootball

The Portuguese great does not believe his counterpart can pull off ‘miracle’

Cristiano Ronaldo believes Ruben Amorim is doomed to fail at Manchester United due to the structure in place at the club.

But Ronaldo has little hope that Amorim will be able to restore United to their former glories, despite commending his counterpart's efforts in the dugout.

"He is doing his best," Ronaldo said on Piers Morgan Uncensored.

Miracles is impossible ... he's not gonna do miracles

"What are you going to do? Miracles. Miracles is impossible. We say in Portugal, 'Miracles is only in Fatima'... And he's not gonna do miracles.

"They have good players but they don't have, some of them, in mind what Manchester United is."

Amorim last season oversaw United's worst ever Premier League campaign as they finished 15th and missed out on European football entirely.

Ronaldo feels United are missing a "base for the future", pointing towards the 'Class of '92' who helped establish United as English football's biggest force under former manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

There has been a focus on signing younger talent since Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos took control of day to day football operations at the club and overhauled the recruitment department.

"For me, I'm sad because of the club, that's one of the most important clubs in the world, and a club that I still have in my heart because of the obvious reasons,' he continued.

"You have to follow with the intelligent people, smart people, to create a base for the future as Manchester United have [done] so many years ago.

"Nicky Butt, Gary [Neville], Roy Keane, [David] Beckham, they became big players but they had youth. So Manchester United right now, they don't have a structure.

"I hope that changes in the future because the potential of the club, it's amazing. It's one of the most important clubs of the century.”
