Liverpool legend, Steve Nicol, has blamed Cristiano Ronaldo
for Manchester United’s Europa League defeat to Real Sociedad on Thursday.
Ronaldo was handed a rare start by manager Erik ten Hag but
put in an uninspiring display as Man United suffered a 1-0 defeat at Old
Trafford.
Speaking on ESPN FC, Nicol pointed fingers at the Portugal
captain after he wasted several chances in the defeat to Real Sociedad.
“I will be honest, when you mention the game, the only thing I have in my head is Ronaldo clean through [on goal] and getting caught by two players,” Nicol told ESPN FC.
“That is kind of what springs to my mind. And he did have
another look.
“He had a couple of other chances, not as good as that one,
but there was just something missing.
“That is what I think about when I think of this game. There
was not much in it between the two sides, not that many chances in the game.
“But that is the only thing I can think of. The fact that
Ronaldo was clean through and looked every one of those 36, 37 years.”
