Cristiano Ronaldo is having a tough time at Manchester United and Juventus ‘surely don’t miss’ the Portuguese star, according to a report in Italy.
Ronaldo has caused controversy by travelling to Portugal on the day of the Manchester derby last weekend. One of his sisters denied on social media that the former Juventus striker had sustained an injury, suggesting that he would have been excluded from the starting XI because of a tactical choice.
Five times Cristiano Ronaldo abandoned his teammates at Juventus
Ronaldo scored 101 goals in 134 appearances in Turin before his sudden return to Manchester United this past August. Juventus did struggle immediately after the striker’s departure and dearly missed his goals in the first part of the campaign. However, they signed a more than valuable replacement in Dusan Vlahovic in the January transfer window and the Serbian striker has already scored four goals in his first eight appearances with the club.
La Gazzetta dello Sport transfer expert Carlo Laudisa comments on Cristiano Ronaldo’s situation at Manchester United, claiming that Juventus don’t miss the superstar.
‘CR7 is always on the run,’ he wrote on Instagram.
‘In August, he ran away from Turin to seek glory to United. Now he runs away from Manchester. Does he have regrets? Juventus certainly do not miss him.’ Ronaldo signed a two-year deal at Old Trafford with an option for a further season.
