In fact we have to realize that Ronaldo has been beaten by age productivity has dropped drastically and maybe in 3 years he will retire
Ronaldo's productivity has decreased so sharply this season, some say because Erik Ten Hak did not provide more playing time, but if you look further the opportunities provided by Ronaldo also have no impact on Manchester United, even though he played from the bench.
To maintain the good name of a Ronaldo, what was done by Erik Ten Hag is very appropriate, because if Ronaldo is played in the early minutes, but his contribution is not visible and does not have an impact like last season, then people will assume Ronaldo's career is over.
For now nothing can stop Manchester City in the Premier League and Arsenal are the most obvious competitors yes at least before the middle of the season.
The strength possessed by Manchester City is absolutely perfect, they have players who are equal to each other, so they are able to play consistently in the English league until now. And I'm also not so sure, that Asenal can break the positive trend of Manchester City going forward
