Even when manchester united was not in a good shape and i think that manchester has a big chance to win the game. Manchester united is slowly moving up again. The perfomance is not yet reached its best performance but i think that if the current performance from MU was equal to the barcelona. I will not even try to underestimate manchester united for now caused by it can make barcelona going back anytime. that reminds me when people were picking barcelona over frankfurt and did you know that barcelona lose against frankfurt?
that's the story of last year but that's still worthy to take some lessons if any team in europa league was also very strong at this moment too.

I am guessing that Ronaldo doesn't show what he used to show during the practice periods? Or the fact that he couldn't score much during the group stages and the other games as well? I get that he is the guy with the most goals ever, so I am not going to argue about his scoring abilities, dude definitely scored a lot of goals so far, but just because he did that in the past doesn't mean that he did it during the world cup neither.

Manager saw him missing chances that other players "may" score, and it worked well on the first game, but against Morocco that didn't work, and Ronaldo showed up later as well and he failed to, it is just reality that he doesn't score like he used to.

Ronaldo has gotten to a stage in his career were he is not able to perform the way he used to when he was at the peak of his career. He has only managed to score just a few goals and few in the world cup too and It is so sad to conclude we are gradually seeing the end of the Ronaldo era. The Saudi league will be a less difficult league for him to flourish but there will be no glory in that and Ronaldo is all about proving himself as the greatest player in the world.

I think that might be severely underestimating what it means to be at the very top of one's career, as Ronaldo is and has been for years now. Too many people are putting age over everything else. A younger football player does not automatically make him a better football player. Throughout the years Ronaldo has been gathering experience and training that the young Ronaldo did not have. So if a young Ronaldo played against the current Ronaldo, I think the older one would win.

Why are people throwing a 37 year old down into the trash just because he is a bit older but still young? Would a few years make a huge difference here?
