Heavyweight world boxing champion Tyson Fury has stated that there are “too many prima donnas” at Manchester United and that the club needs a “clearout”.
The avid Reds fan also suggested that they rely on Cristiano Ronaldo for goals because of his superstar status and, in turn, that has stifled the progression of young players in the squad. Speaking to the Mirror, he said: “When you have a superstar like Ronaldo, everybody relies on him to score goals.
“And if he wasn’t there they’d be scoring the goals themselves, like they did the season before last. I’m not saying he’s a bad asset, he’s a great asset, but sometimes with a star player, he carries the team and the young people are overshadowed by it all. They don’t get their chance to shine because ‘the great Ronaldo’ is on the pitch.”
