It is the Red Devils’ first defeat in all competitions this season with Ronaldo netting four goals in three games prior to Saturday’s league game.

Ronaldo returned to Manchester United from Juventus this summer and has made a huge impact already.

He assured United fans that the team will bounce back immediately and show their strength.

“We must react immediately, get back on our feet and show our true strength,” he

Former Tottenham coach, Tim Sherwoood, has tipped Cristiano Ronaldo to become Manchester United’s next manager “within 18 months”.

Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford this summer and has already netted four times in his first three matches.

However, Sherwood believes the 36-year-old could soon be making his impact from the dugout.

Current manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, is under pressure after United were dumped out of the Carabao Cup by West Ham on Wednesday night.

Having not won any trophy since he replaced Jose Mourinho, Solskjaer is under more scrutiny than ever, after Ronaldo returned to the club along with Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane.

Ronaldo has already shown glimpses of a desire to control things from the touchline, whether it be in the Euro 2016 final or when he stood next to Solskjaer during their shock Champions League defeat to Young Boys last week.

“I can see Ronaldo as Manchester United manager within 18 months.

“I think it’s okay that Ronaldo’s on the touchline and Ole’s going to have to accept it. If he brings him to his football club you’ve got to know what you’re bringing in.

“It’s a completely different Ronaldo to the one who was at Old Trafford the first time around. He knows how he’s needed and if he feels like he needs to stand next to the manager and give instructions then you’ve got to let him do that,” Sherwood told Ladbrokes.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s mother, Dolores Aveiro, has said the Portugal captain must play for Sporting CP before she dies.

However, if Ronaldo who only returned to Manchester United this summer fails to do so, she expects his son Cristiano “Cristianinho” Ronaldo Jr to fulfill her dream.

Aveiro is a huge Sporting fan and wants her family member to wear the green and white stripes once again.

“Ronaldo has to come back here [to Sporting], for me he’d be here.

“He likes to watch Sporting’s games. I’ve already told him: ‘Son, before I die I want to see you return to Sporting’.

“‘Let’s see…’, he said, but if it isn’t [him], it’s Cristianinho! At his age, he plays better than Ronaldo. At the time, Ronaldo didn’t have a coach, but today Ronaldo is his son’s teacher,” Aveiro said on the ADN de Leao podcast.

Anthony Joshua Reveals Retirement Age, Rejects Ronaldo’s Kind Of Dream

written by Victor Ndubuisi 2 minutes read

Nigerian-born British World heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua has declared that he is not chasing the Cristiano Ronaldo’s kind of dream of remaining in sports for a very long time.

Joshua, who will be defending his belts on Saturday night against Ukraine’s Oleksandar Usyk at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, also revealed that he would be retiring from boxing between the age of 36 to 40.

Joshua, 31, had before revealed how much he admires Ronaldo, who is gearing to play football into his forties.

Anthony Joshua: Why I Think About Death Every Time

The Portugal captain is back in the Premier League at 36, and in an interview with Metro, Joshua was asked if Ronaldo’s age gives him(AJ) the motivation to continue fighting well into his 30s.

The British boxer said, “He’s only kicking a football, isn’t he? What a man. We always compare ourselves to the one in a billion: he’s one in a billion and we always seem to compare ourselves to that guy.

“I can’t chase the Cristiano Ronaldo dream. Cristiano is one of the people I see asking for strength and courage. It comes with hardship but at the end of it, is self-satisfaction.

“I want to be known as a throwback fighter, that I took on challenges. That’s what my legacy should be. It would be good for my son as well when he’s older. ‘Yeah, my dad fought everyone…’ I want him to realise I was a man respected for fighting everyone in my division.

Asked how long he thinks he can go on for in the sport, Anthony Joshua added,

“I think you’ve got between 36 and 40. So at 36 it’s kind of like, how many more years do you go beyond that? Do you do the full yard to 40?

“Forty seems like the age where it’s like, ‘okay, you’ve done this for a long time now’. So yeah, 36 to 40 is when I look at my career.”

Portugal professional footballer who plays as a forward for English Premier club – Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo has been scammed.

It was gathered that the sum of £250,000 (about N140 million) was illegally withdrawn from the 36-year-old player’s account by a travel agent identified as Maria Silvia.

Anaedoonline.ng understands Silvia has been in the game for a while as she is said to have also scammed Ronaldo’s countryman and former United player, Nani.

The agent allegedly scammed the ex-united winger of over £1,500.

However, Ronaldo’s super-agent Jorge Mendes has also fallen victim of the 53-year-old travel agent. Silvia scammed Mendes of £14,000, Sun Sports reported.

Ronaldo is said to have entrusted Silvia with his credit cards and pin, hence making it easy for her to bill his account of over 200 trips that he never made between Portugal to the US, Africa, and other European countries.

Silvia after she was found guilty of the accusation, got a four-year suspended prison sentence on Sunday. Anaedoonline.ng understands this follows her earlier conviction by a Porto criminal court in 2017.

It was also revealed further that Ronaldo was targeted as a victim of Silvia’s scamming spree for three years between February 2007 and July 2010.

Ronaldo according to the publication, had submitted a statement to the police in 2011. The paper read, “The travel agent had to plug the hole in the firm’s accounts. She, therefore, began to bill those trips to Cristiano Ronaldo, who had an account at Geostar and for practical reasons, handed the agent a virtual credit card and pin code. It was a green route to taking money out.”

Anaedoonline.ng understands Silvia currently works as a cleaner.

Her first interrogation on the allegations started in 2013 before she eventually got a sentence on Sunday, September 19, 2021.

As part of her court deal, she had agreed to repay her firm a sum of £7,680 sparing her prison sentence.

Legendary Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has confirmed he blocked Cristiano Ronaldo from making a possible switch to Manchester City.

According to Ferguson, he could not imagine the 36-year-old playing for their city rivals.

The Scot is understood to have phoned Ronaldo personally to persuade him to return to Old Trafford.

Speaking with ViaPlay, Ferguson has now revealed he also spoke to United’s owners to make the deal happen.

Alex Ferguson Shares Secrets Of Signing World-class Players

“I’m excited like everyone else, there was anticipation all day yesterday and waking up in the morning. I speak for all supporters – it’s a great day for Manchester United.

“A lot of people played their part (in bringing Ronaldo back) and I contributed knowing that really Cristiano wanted to come here and that was important. It worked very well.

“I wouldn’t say it’s emotional but it’s exciting for me and relief because I couldn’t imagine him playing for Man City, I don’t think anyone could.

“That’s why we took steps to make sure he came here and the club then followed in very well and I spoke to the Glazers and it was done. I think he will make an impact on the young players in particular, he’s got the experience to handle the occasion,” he said.

LATEST: Ronaldo Returns With A Brace As Manchester United Trash Newcastle

by Victor Ndubuisi
written by Victor Ndubuisi 5 minutes read
Ronaldo now has 120 United goals to his name, but scored his first since leaving for Real Madrid 12 years ago to take Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men top of the Premier League table.
United were made to work harder than expected for the three points, but were able to rely on Ronaldo’s predatory instincts to strike twice either side of Javier Manquillo’s well-worked equaliser.
Bruno Fernandes then sealed a day where Portuguese stars shone with a stunning long-range effort 10 minutes from time before Jesse Lingard rounded off the scoring in stoppage time.
United’s fortunes on the field have declined dramatically since Ronaldo’s departure with no Premier League or Champions League success since Alex Ferguson retired as manager in 2013.
His return was enough to generate a feverish atmosphere among 74,000 in attendance not seen at Old Trafford for many years.
The 36-year-old was serenaded with songs in his honour long before kick-off and even received celebrations of the goals he scored in a shooting drill in the warm-up.
Ronaldo’s arrival has added even more firepower to an already loaded selection of attacking options on offer to Solskjaer.
Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood flanked Ronaldo in a front three with Fernandes and Paul Pogba supplying the ammunition from midfield.
The crowd who had come for a party were starting to get restless as Newcastle held out relatively comfortably until Ronaldo’s first big moment arrived in first-half stoppage time.
Greenwood had scored in all of United’s first three Premier League games before the international break and provided the spark once more as Freddie Woodman spilled his deflected effort and the ball fell perfectly for Ronaldo to smash home.
Rather than opening the floodgates for a comfortable win, Newcastle emerged for the second-half with a far more potent threat and cut United open to stun the home support 10 minutes into the second-half.
Miguel Almiron, who was only cleared to play on Friday after the Paraguayan football federation withdrew a case for him to be banned for not being released for international duty, burst through midfield and released Allan Saint-Maximin.
The Frenchman then rolled the ball perfectly into the path of Manquillo to slot home his first Newcastle goal in 85 appearances.
United on the other hand now have one of the deadliest finishers in the history of the game and Ronaldo ensured the day would be all about him on 62 minutes.
Despite his advancing years, Ronaldo showed no shortage of pace to burst away from Isaac Hayden to latch onto Luke Shaw’s pass and his powerful strike went straight through Woodman’s grasp.
United still needed the intervention of David de Gea to secure the win as the Spaniard brilliantly turned behind Joelinton’s shot that was destined for the top corner.
Fernandes has been United’s talisman for the majority of the 20 months since he joined from Sporting Lisbon, just as Ronaldo did in 2003.
And the midfielder ensured he was not completely overshadowed by his compatriot with a sensational strike into the top corner from Paul Pogba’s pass.
Pogba was also involved in the fourth as Lingard turned onto his pass and curled into the far corner.

Cavani will now wear the no. 21 shirt which became vacant after Daniel James joined Leeds United.

Solskjaer said: “It’s one of these things that Edison has been remarkable, played really, really well last season. Cristiano rang Edinson and they spoke with each other.

“To pass up his shirt, it just shows the respect he’s got for Cristiano but also Cristiano speaking to Edinson shows the respect the other way. Two top, top professionals and players and human beings.”
