United legend criticizes Cristiano Ronaldo: "Messi wouldn't behave like that"

If Cristiano Ronaldo stays, he will have a complicated season within the ranks of Manchester United, after it became known that the Portuguese superstar wanted to leave the team because he wanted to play in the Champions League. The stance taken by the Portuguese player provoked a Manchester United legend to comment on the case and compare him to Lionel Messi, PSG player.

Paul Ince, former Red Devils player, pointed out that Erik ten hag, Man United’s new coach, was right to leave Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench in the match against Liverpool, as he sent the message that without the Portuguese striker, the team can be competitive.

He also said that the actions shown by the Manchester United striker in recent games with United are not good at all and have created a hostile atmosphere in the team, since he has been a distraction for the rest of his teammates and that has been reflected in the results they have achieved.

Added to this, Paul Ince mentioned that Cristiano Ronaldo should do the same as Lionel Messi, PSG player, since despite the quarrels that there is Mbappé in the Parisian squad, the Argentine stays in line and does not create controversy off the pitch.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a distraction for his teammates

"He has been a distraction for everyone at Man United. It hasn't had the desired effect that everyone thought it would have and you wouldn't see Lionel Messi acting the way he has at times," explained Paul Ince.
