It is well known that Cristiano Ronaldo tried to leave Manchester United last summer, although the refusal of his coach was enough for the Portuguese to be forced to continue wearing the Red Devils shirt.
Now, relegated to the bench for most of the matches, Cristiano is experiencing one of his worst seasons at the professional level, both in terms of performance and numbers.

One goal… and a penalty
So far, Cristiano Ronaldo has played nine matches in the Manchester United shirt, starting only in one Premier League match, where the team lost 4-0 to Brigthon, and in the three Europa League matches, where he scored his only goal of the season, which was from the penalty spot against FC Sheriff (0-2).
The decline of Cristiano Ronaldo
As for the rest of the matches where he has been able to have minutes, Cristiano has shown to be at a level far from what is expected of a striker like him.
In fact, the former Real Madrid man has only been able to shoot 10 times in the Premier League, which is an average of less than two shots per game, something incredible for the greatest scorer in the history of soccer.
World Cup on the horizon
Not only has his performance with Manchester United been somewhat questionable, but his role in recent friendlies with Portugal has not exactly been remarkable either.
In the match against Spain, the legend had several chances to score, but poor finishing, coupled with his lack of speed at key moments, meant that he was unable to score.
Less than 50 days until the Qatar World Cup
