Cristiano Ronaldo said he was “unhappy” with Manchester United’s achievements and demanded his team-mates to have “higher spirits and a stronger mentality”.
Ronaldo officially returned to Manchester United from Juventus for a transfer fee of £ 20 million last August.
The 36-year-old man is still skilled in front of goal by scoring 14 goals in 21 appearances, but has not been able to bring collective consistency to Man United.

Through social media Instagram, Ronaldo recaps 2021 while demanding that his Old Trafford team-mates can perform better in the second half of the season: “2021 is coming to an end and it has not been an easy year even though I scored 47 goals in all competitions.”
“At Juventus, I am proud to have won the Coppa Italia and Italian Super Cup, and to be the top scorer in Serie A. For Portugal, being the top scorer in the Euros is also a great achievement this year. And of course my return to Old Trafford will always be an iconic moment throughout my career.”
“But I’m not happy with what we achieved at Man United. Neither of us is happy, I’m sure of it. We know we have to work harder, play better and deliver better results than what we are giving at the moment. .”
“Let’s make this new year’s eve the turning point of the season! Let’s face 2022 with higher spirits and a stronger mentality. Let’s push ourselves to the limit, let’s reach for the stars and take this club where it belongs! Join us! us, we’re counting on you!”
“Happy new year and see you later!”
With the presence of Ronaldo, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho in the summer market, The Red Devils initially looked ready to challenge Manchester City in the Premier League title race under the direction of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Unfortunately United’s scintillating start fell short, swallowing humiliating defeats at the hands of Liverpool, Manchester City and Watford, with Solskjaer finally having to pay for the mistake by losing his job.
Now they are led by Ralf Rangnick on a temporary basis, and he has bagged three wins plus two draws from his first five matches, with Wolves waiting for Tuesday (4/12) early WIB tomorrow.
Last Friday’s 3-1 win over Burnley (31/12) was like a breath of fresh air that boosted the optimism of the Red Devils squad, but now United must fight hard to finish in the top four.
They lost one chance to win a trophy after leading from the League Cup, but Ronaldo cs can still challenge the European Champions League and FA Cup.
