Less than 12 months after Manchester United's Champions League hopes died a death under Ralf Rangnick, leaving Cristiano Ronaldo looking for a way out, the club are back on track.
Ronaldo pushed for an exit over the summer after his goals failed to secure a top four finish for the Red Devils. Efforts to secure a move to a club in the Champions League fell short, but he has now joined Al-Nassr after leaving Old Trafford in November.
In January 2022, the Portugal international questioned the mentality at the club, making specific reference to the top three in the Premier League. While some expected a recovery to take longer under Erik ten Hag, the weekend's results mean they go into Wednesday's meeting with Leeds already sitting third in the table.
