Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to Manchester United has been a massive flop, with the 37-year-old only playing four minutes in the Red Devils win over Liverpool on August 22nd and 22 minutes over the weekend against Southampton. On paper Ronaldo has been able to produce with 24 goals in 45 matches, but it has been issues off the pitch which has derailed the former Juventus star’s return to Old Trafford.
