NEV: RON WILL PLAY REGULARLY – AS NO 9
Manchester United Gary Neville told Sky Sports of Cristiano Ronaldo’s return: “He’ll play regularly. He’ll play as a No9.
“He’ll play as a centre forward, I’m sure they’ll put legs in and around him, he will score goals.
“And Cristiano Ronaldo will be coming to win trophies, win personal accolades, set the Premier League on fire – it is a different Cristiano Ronaldo, everyone expected that.
“But he is a No9, he’s a centre forward, he’s someone who to be fair still has those bursts of speed over short spaces that will cause problems, he makes great runs inside the box, he has anticipation of where the ball’s going to drop.
“So in terms of what he gives to Manchester United, it just gives them something that at this moment in time they need.
“I said the other day I thought Manchester United should be in for Harry Kane if he’s available, they should be in for Haaland, these types of players.
“For Manchester United to get above Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea, they’re going to have to do something big.
“And this could give them a temporary shot in the arm that would potentially get them right up there this year.”
