Paul Ince's Cristiano Ronaldo strop theory at Man Utd debunked after Brentford win

That is the view of the Portuguese legend's Red Devils team-mate Diogo Dalot, who has debunked Paul Ince's view over the 37-year-old's impact behind the scenes at Old Trafford. The former United midfielder had questioned the club's decision to re-sign the veteran striker, suggesting it was 'all about Ronaldo' rather than the team.

Ronaldo's role with United this season has been constantly scrutinised by commentators and pundits, despite another impressive goalscoring return. The former Juventus and Real Madrid striker has netted 24 times in all competitions, including six strikes in seven Champions League appearances.
