Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer request at Manchester United, with both pundits trading insults in their disagreement. Ronaldo's bombshell request to leave Old Trafford should a suitable offer for him be submitted sent shockwaves across the football landscape on Saturday. The Portuguese superstar's decision is said to be driven by his desire to play in the Champions League for the remainder of his career.
Ronaldo was United's most successful performer in an otherwise risible season for the Red Devils, scoring 18 league goals while the team slumped to sixth position. Ex-Liverpool defender Carragher began the taunting by tweeting that Ronaldo's announcement vindicated his assessment of the Portuguese superstar's return to Manchester. 'Ronaldo did exactly what I thought he would do, score goals but make the team worse.
The transfer request also kills the idea he turned down Man City because of his love for Man United,' wrote Carragher, signing off with a crying-laughing emoji. It didn't take long for Neville to respond to his longtime Sky Sports co-pundit and call out his analysis. 'I get it, you’re full of yourselves but he can turn down City for United because he likes them more and still want to leave this summer.
He left before but still loved the club,' Neville wrote. The former Manchester United player couldn't help signing off with a barb, writing 'Enjoy Saturday night and your short period of success,' most likely in reference to Liverpool's recent trophy-winning era. Carragher replied by calling Neville a 'clown' in emoji form and berating Neville for celebrating Ronaldo's return last season.
