The idea that Cristiano Ronaldo was THE problem at Manchester United last season seems to be growing more popular.
Jamie Carragher is the latest pundit to suggest Ronaldo is the root of United’s troubles. Actually, to be fair to Carragher, he has been expressing that view for a long, long time. John Barnes recently said that Ronaldo brings ‘disharmony’ and ‘disunity’ to the squad.
Barnes says United would be a better side without him and Carragher believes Erik ten Hag should insist Ronaldo leaves. It would, says Carragher, be a “big, bold decision.” Too right it would. It would also be the wrong one.
