Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to Manchester United has been described by former Super Eagles forward, Victor Ikpeba, as a huge a mistake.
Prior to joining Real Madrid in 2009, Ronaldo spent six years at United where he established his name before going on to win four more Ballon d’or awards at Madrid.
The footballer who later joined Juventus, returned to Man United, which came as a surprise as it seemed the five-time Ballon d’Or winner was on his way to Man City, only for Ronaldo to join the Red Devils.
Speaking on SuperSport, Ikpeba said: “I think he [Ronaldo] should be leaving the club. Ronaldo coming back to Manchester United was a mistake.
“It’s not a question of him scoring goals, so many things happen when a star player returns to his original club.
“In many ways, Ronaldo has been a distraction. He’s a global star in football, he shouldn’t have come back at that age, he should have gone to Manchester City.
“Egocentric players, jealousy comes to play in the dressing room. The atmosphere has been nasty right from the beginning.”
