Dimitar Berbatov fires back at Cristiano Ronaldo critics in strong defence of Man United star

Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has defended Cristiano Ronaldo’s form, insisting the blame for recent results should be shared equally throughout the side.

Ronaldo has had a poor start to 2022, having scored just one goal in 10 appearances in all competitions since the turn of the year. He went into 2022 with 14 goals from 20 games having made his return to Old Trafford in the summer.

The Portuguese ace has come in for criticism for his performances, with some questioning whether he fits in to a modern system. The Manchester Evening News also understands interim boss Ralf Rangnick has serious reservations about Ronaldo leading the line for United next season.
