Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has said attention should be directed away from ageing former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo and instead placed on other members of the squad who are likely to be at the club long-term.
The Portugal captain is the club’s top scorer this season with 18 goals to his name, including three in Saturday’s 3-2 win over Tottenham. Ronaldo, 37, has scored four in all against Spurs this term and two against Arsenal, but none against the top three.
He has attracted criticism because of this with United stuck in fifth, a point behind the Gunners in the Premier League table having played two games more. Saha suggested that fans’ grievances should not be directed at Ronaldo but at the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Anthony Elanga.
