A report from the English newspaper The Sun this Saturday outlined that Cristiano Ronaldo is beginning to “feel his age” on the pitch, which could explain the drought that the Manchester United striker has been experiencing.
On February 5, Ronaldo turned 37 years old and although the player still has an impeccable physique, high-level competition could already be taking its toll on him.
According to what he would have told his circle of friends and family, the striker does not rule out that his slump is due to age and although he allegedly pointed out that United are experiencing the worst moment of the season “not everything is the fault of the club” but also of him.
Cristiano Ronaldo has not scored in 2022; the striker’s last goal was 30 in December against Burnley and since then there have been five commitments where he has not appeared, even losing the title to the Uruguayan Edison Cavani.
This Saturday, in the match between Manchester United 1-1 Southampton for the Premier League, Ronaldo played only 20 minutes and at the end of the match he ran directly to the locker room and did not speak with the media present.
The situation that Cristiano is experiencing could disrupt the plans of the Portuguese who believed it possible to stay at Manchester United for at least two years before embarking on the road to retire at Sporting Lisbon or one last experience abroad in MLS; although in recent days rumors have linked him to PSG in an express request for the hypothetical arrival of Zinedine Zidane on the bench in the French capital.
