Ronaldo Reacts To Man U Loss

Portuguese star, Cristiano Ronaldo has reacted to Manchester United’s embarrassing 0-5 defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford last Sunday, insisting that the loss is on them (the players) and the fans deserve better performances.

The Red Devils were defeated by a well-oiled Liverpool team, with man of the moment Mohamed Salah netting a hat-rick.

Naby Keita and Diogo Jota also scored in the Red’s dominant win.

However, the loss mounts pressure on under-fire manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær, whose job is hanging by a thread following a run of poor results.

Ronaldo however believes that no one apart from the players themselves is to blame for the disaster.

“Sometimes the result is not the one we fight for. Sometimes the score is not the one we want. And this is on us, only on us, because there’s no one else to blame. Our fans were, once again, amazing in their constant support. They deserve better than this, much better, and it’s up to us to deliver. The time is now!,” he wrote on Instagram.

Meanwhile, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said the loss is his “darkest day” as manager but he will carry on.

“I have come too far to give up. I am not built that way,” he told BBC Radio 5 live.

“The feeling we have had is we were getting where we wanted to be but in the last few weeks results haven’t come and we have hit a brick wall. We have conceded too many easy goals and that is a concern.

“I am still thinking about tomorrow’s work, we are all low. This is the lowest I have been but I accept the responsibility, that is mine and mine going forward.”

Manchester United continue to suffer defeats under Solskjaer which has seen fans requesting that Ole should be sacked and replaced with another manager.
