There was a 5-0 swat against Liverpool. Now Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken to the United fans with an emotional statement.
Cristiano Ronaldo apologized to Manchester United fans.
“Sometimes it’s not the result we’re fighting for. Sometimes it’s not the result we hope for,” CR7 wrote Instagramand made it clear: “This is our fault, our fault alone, because there is no one else we can blame.”
It is not clear whether Ronaldo wants to protect his coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who is heavily criticized, with this statement. It is clear, however, that the Portuguese did not want to gloss over the performance of his team after the second 5-0 defeat of his career (2010 in the Clasico).
“Our fans were, once again, amazing with their constant support,” said Ronaldo,. The fans deserved “a lot better, a lot better – and it’s up to us to deliver.”
Numerous supporters of the Red Devils had already left Old Trafford at halftime.
Manchester United: Maguire also speaks to the fans
Captain Harry Maguire also hit a similar line as Ronaldo: “We apologize to the fans. It wasn’t even close to being good enough for this club,” said the England international and thanked him for the support.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo is still hopeful of turning things around with United. The striker ended his statement with the words “Now it depends.” After nine match days, his team is in seventh place in the table. The gap to front runner Chelsea is already eight points.
