Cristiano Ronaldo maintains that Ruben Amorim, the new manager of Manchester United, is not to blame for the team's issues and says he could resolve them if he owned the team. While talking about his desire to eventually control a club, Ronaldo has impressively positioned himself as the one who can address United's current problems.

Before the upcoming match against Newcastle United, Ruben Amorim said that his position is not secure because United has lost five of his ten games as manager, including four of the last five in the Premier League. Ronaldo, who scored 145 goals during two stints at United and has recently criticized the club's ownership, insists his compatriot is not at fault.

Ronaldo explained his viewpoint on Manchester United's continuous difficulties during the tournament using an analogy. "It's like an aquarium. If you have the fish inside and he's sick and you take him out and you fix the problem and you put him again in an aquarium they will be sick again. "The problem of Manchester United is the same. The problem is not always the coach. It's much more than that. If I will be the owner of the club, I will make things clear and adjust what I think is bad there."

In his interview from 2022, Ronaldo specifically criticized the Glazers, saying they had not made enough investments in the team. He emphasized Manchester United's poor facilities, saying they were simply not up to par with those of other elite European clubs. In February, Sir Jim Ratcliffe became a co-owner and has since taken over football operations. Ratcliffe has allegedly made "big changes" off the field, such as instituting considerable cost-cutting measures and creating a more defined hierarchy above the head coach.

He suggested that he will soon own a "big club" in his remarks. I'm not a coach. I'm never going to be the club president or a coach. No. Perhaps the club's owner," he remarked. "It will depend on the moment, the right opportunities." Ronaldo praised Real Madrid, where he spent the most prosperous years of his career, in contrast to his criticism of Manchester United.

Ronaldo's thoughts on his previous teams provide insightful information on the dynamics of contemporary football and the difficulties elite teams experience in sustaining success, even as he continues his career with Al Nassr, where he has thrived.
