Manchester United are indeed in difficult times and maybe this is where players are needed who have loyalty to play for the club.
I mean, even if you're a United fan from childhood, will you go there now when the priority for the owners is to cut losses and so on? It is certainly a difficult decision. If you managed to be part of the players who revolutionized United, you'll certainly be remembered for a long time, but if you don't, then it's another group of failed players who suddenly play horribly when they wear the United shirt. Besides, can you ask for loyalty if the club can't give you any guarantee about your future? Not to mention the money and other stuff like that.
That's right, we think realistically every player must think about two things, namely money and career and that is not obtained if they join Manchester United, so I don't think there are players who only think about the development of the Manchester United team, that doesn't exist, every player will think about the development of their career and the money they will get.
Ronaldo is already old and might have a good reason why he doesn't want to partake in the club world football and I don't see anything wrong about his decision. Of course, experience in needed in football much more than strength because lack of experience can make a player miss his opportunity of scoring a technical goal.
Things are really strange to see that CR7 doesn't want to play, he already won the Nation League, he left many people speechless at how a 40 year old man beats a 17 year old boy, you can see his power there, besides it would have been crazy if CR7 had played because he would have sold a lot, and that was what Infantino wanted, but since FIFA has always been so inconsiderate with the best in history, CR7 pays them like that.
Cristiano Ronaldo is already 40 years old, he is not young anymore and I think he has many reasons for his decision and the most reasonable one is that he maintains his fitness to stay fit and maintained for his target of playing in the 2026 World Cup in a fit condition.
