Cristiano Ronaldo irritated with Mason Greenwood
Manchester United was unable to defeat Liverpool on Sunday, despite the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese was a mere spectator in the game as the Red Devils were humiliated 0-5 at home by their arch-rivals.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo is annoyed with Mason Greenwood’s on-field demeanor. According to a Liverpool veteran, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not good enough for the Red Devils.
Mason Greenwood irritates Cristiano Ronaldo, according to ESPN. After returning to Manchester United this summer, the Portuguese had a fantastic start to life at Old Trafford. However, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has struggled in the Premier League recently, with United picking up only one point in their previous four games.

Although Ronaldo’s initial influence appears to have worn off, he continues to inspire in the UEFA Champions League. According to ESPN, one of the causes is a lack of communication between Manchester United’s front three, particularly the Portuguese and Mason Greenwood.
It has been observed that in the last third, the two of them do not coordinate well and rarely pass to each other. This has harmed the Red Devils, who have been unable to establish their dominance in the opposition box.
Greenwood’s proclivity for shooting rather than distributing the ball irritates Ronaldo. The Portuguese coach wants Greenwood to put him in goal-scoring positions, but the 20-year-old has shown a desire to score. Instead of striving to score every time, Ronaldo wants the youngster to create more goalscoring possibilities.
