EPL: Why It Is Painful To Watch Ronaldo Play- Agbonlahor| READ DETAILS
Former Aston Villa star, Gabriel Agbonlahor has revealed why it is painful to watch Manchester United icon, Cristiano Ronaldo play at the moment.
The Birmingham-born maintained the 37-year-old is no longer in his best form, adding age has finally caught up with him.
The 35-year-old Agbonlahor further opined five-time Ballon d’Or winner, Ronaldo has failed to deliver par performances , hence should not start every Man United game .
Ronaldo made a sophomore appearance in Premier League big shot, Manchester United after a 12-year presence in the Spanish LaLiga and Italian Serie A.
The Portuguese International’s return to Old Trafford has been met with criticism regardless of his standout factor as the side’s top scorer across all competitions so far this season.
Agbonlahor has insisted that fans of Manchester United go through pain watching Ronaldo whose legs already look tired.
The former Aston Villa striker said;
“For a lot of Man United fans, it will be painful watching Ronaldo at the moment. He’s 37; he’s outdone most footballers by five or six years, but you can’t hide from ageing. Age catches up with everyone, and it looks like it has caught up with Ronaldo,
His legs look tired; he doesn’t look as quick and sharp getting round players. He’s also not a presser from the front either. With all those things, it doesn’t make sense for him to keep starting,
But who else have they got? They have not got many other options there. Unless they play Rashford as a striker or a false nine.
It’s a big worry for Man United if they have Ronaldo and Cavani as the options up there for next season.”
