Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t have the fairy-tale return to Manchester United that everyone expected it to be. After playing for three seasons in Italy, the striker made a shock return to the theater of dreams.

United fans had huge expectations from Ronaldo, believing that his involvement would see a significant turnaround for the club, which had been vying for a return to its glory days. The addition of new signings and a head coach made fans go into a frenzy. However, things got worse for either side, which turned into chaos.

It came to the point where the Red Devils had to terminate his contract and part ways with the legendary striker.

United has flourished sans Cristiano Ronaldo

It has been a month since Ronaldo left Manchester United. After staying without a club for over a month, the Portuguese went to Saudi Arabia, thus signing a record $200 million-a-year deal with Al Nassr.

The whole soccer world questioned the Premier League giant’s decision to release their chief man. Moreover, famous journalist Piers Morgan recently asked Erik ten Hag to apologize to the 37-year-old if Arsenal wins this year’s PL.

Despite the manager presiding over a stunning turnaround, ever since enduring a horrible start to the campaign, Morgan insists Erik has still a lot to prove.

However, it seems things have worked out pretty well for Erik Ten Hag’s side ever since Ronaldo’s exit. Morgan himself is watching this unfold and accepts that Manchester United has improved since CR7’s departure.

Yet he believes all that will change when United will face Arsenal. “Why don’t you come back and ask me at 6.30 p.m. on Sunday and see how cocky they’re all feeling at United then? I’ve been watching it all. They’ve been beating a few teams, and they had a good result against City.”

“Let’s not get the bunting out just yet, I think we’re (Arsenal) going to absolutely demolish them on Sunday, and then, at that moment, I will remind them that they managed to lever out the greatest footballer in history because they thought that was a great idea.” said Morgan.

He audaciously added, “When we win the league and when United do not win the league because they got rid of the GOAT, I expect Erik ten Hag to get on bended knee beg me for forgiveness and apologise to Cristiano Ronaldo for the shocking disrespect that he showed him.”

Are glory days back at Old Trafford?

United appears to be better off without the Portuguese captain. It didn’t take long for Ten Hag to realize the team’s potential without Ronaldo. This came to light when ten Hag dropped the No. 7 for eight of his last 12 games at the club.

Even after staying off the pitch, the former Madrid man was constantly in the headlines, thus rattling the dressing room. It was at that moment the former Ajax manager had to accept that Ronaldo was unplayable.

Since then, the Red Devils have won nine consecutive games in all competitions. With the latest win coming against their archrivals, Man City. Moreover, United is now playing to its full potential, thanks to the new signings. The likes of Casemiro, Erikson, and World champion Martinez have brought United back into the thick of things.
