Nobody would argue that Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players of all time,but as his time at United appears to be drawing to a close Ronaldo is struggling to find a new club that can offer the thing most important to him Champions League football.As one of the most decorated players we've ever seen Ronaldo's will to win and compete at the highest level is unwavering.He's a born winner and anything less simply will not do.Cristiano simply has to be playing in the Champions League and there's another key reason why Lionel Messi,like so often the two all-time greats will be forever linked with each other and here's one more reason why Ronaldo currently holds the record for the most goals in the UEFA Champions League having scored 141 times in 183 appearances.
The Portugal Legend stands alone Atop The Record scoring charts and who would be number two on that list you guessed it Leo Messi, the Argentine magician has scored 125 goals in 156 appearances that's just 16 behind Ronnie and with Messi aiming to boost his total on the way to Champions League Glory with the star-studded PSG side Ronaldo knows that he can't afford to have a season out of the competition while Leo chips away at his goals record a record that Cristiano feels is hugely important to his legacy and standing in the game and that brings us to why Ronaldo stays in Manchester appeared to be numbered having returned to the place he called home last Summer.
Cristiano was looking to further cement his legacy at the prestigious club and in doing so Return Man United to the heights of success it hadn't achieved in years and but that's
not how things have turned out his return Season last year was perfectly successful for Ronaldo individually he scored 24 goals in 38 games in all competitions but it didn't translate to success for the team as a whole.Having finished in sixth spot United were only able to qualify for the Europa League failing to qualify for the coveted Champions League places by some distance there are contrasting opinions depending on who you talk to,some feel that the Old Trafford Club were in turmoil for much of the season and Ronaldo's goals were the only thing that kept their season from being even worse While others believe Ronaldo's presence prevented the club from moving forward in a new younger Direction however as Cristiano looks to cement his legacy as the greatest player that ever lived and the greatest Champions League goal scorer of all time he's openly stated that that will need to happen elsewhere now with United unable to match his demands for Champions League football and competing for trophies in every competition.
Ronaldo's looking to get out but it's not proving very straightforward he's missed the club's preseason tour and has been training alone back home and although he was pictured training alongside Sheffield United when they recently toured Portugal it's safe to assume that CR7 will be looking for a slightly bigger Club than the blades unfortunately though there's a real shortage of teams that are both willing and able to offer Ronaldo what he needs he's been linked with countless teams throughout the summer but nothing has mamaterialized.It's amazing to think that a player of Ronaldo's caliber and pedigree could struggle to find a team Bayern Munich,Chelsea,Manchester City,Atletico Madrid and Napoli have all reportedly backed away from the idea of signing him
although man united claimed they don't want to sell the player it's hard to imagine anything other than an exit on the cards we may not know where Ronaldo will be playing this season but we do know that whatever it is he will be obsessed with validating his legacy and wherever Ronaldo plays goals will follow let's just hope they're in the Champions League if you enjoyed this article why not
tell us the reason why nobody wants Cristiano?
