Cristiano Ronaldo shone as a center forward when he returned to United – a position he had rejected at Juventus.
Cristiano Ronaldo made a perfect debut at Manchester United’s 4-1 win against Newcastle United with a brace after his return from Juventus and was used directly in the center of the attack. A position that, according to ex-Juve player Giancarlo Marocchi, he had rejected in Italy.
“I saw that he played as a center forward yesterday,” said the eleven-time Italian international and today’s expert at Sky Sport Italy On Sunday. “That’s one thing he turned down when he was at Juventus.”
Ronaldo joined Manchester United from Juventus
During his three years at Juventus under the coaches Massimiliano Allegri, Maurizio Sarri and Andrea Pirlo, Ronaldo actually played mostly in the position of the left winger – nevertheless he scored 101 goals in 134 competitive games for the Bianconeri.
The now 36-year-old returned to United from Juventus shortly before the end of the transfer window for a € 15 million transfer, for which he had already played for six years from 2003 and 2009.
