Erik ten Hag can help Cristiano Ronaldo do something he's never done at Manchester United
12.10.2022 - 16:43 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
The creeping dread when you look around a club and realise you're far too old for this. You're struggling to squeeze into those stylish jeans, blowing far too heavily after 10 minutes of five-a-side and left completely bewildered when you discover that Bad Bunny is one of the world's biggest music artists and not, in fact, a naughty rabbit. We all want to hold on to our youth but the realisation that you're no longer young eventually hits us all.
Cristiano Ronaldo certainly has no trouble fitting into his trousers and would last much longer than the common man in a game at the local Astro but, just like the rest of us, he isn't immune to those falling sands. No matter how much he may try to cling to his sensational peak, Father Time comes for us all.
Ronaldo has spent well over a decade at the pinnacle of the game. He claimed his first Ballon d'Or back in 2008 while still at Manchester United after just winning his first Champions League trophy. A year later he moved to Real Madrid and went on to climb to even greater heights, winning both of the aforementioned prestigious awards another four times. He scored the bulk of his remarkable 700 goals in Spain, led his country to improbable glory and generally won all there is to win. At times he has seemingly defied the hourglass, with no sign of ever slowing down.

When the 37-year-old wanted to leave United for a second time in the summer for Champions League football, no suitor came forward.
