Cristiano Ronaldo: Damning Man Utd video goes viral after 3-1 defeat v Arsenal

A video titled ‘How can you blame Cristiano Ronaldo’ has gone viral on social media following Manchester United’s 3-1 defeat away at Arsenal.

The legendary Portuguese forward returned to United’s starting line-up on Saturday after missing last week’s 4-0 loss against Liverpool following the tragic death of one of his twin babies.

Ronaldo was powerless to prevent Man Utd slumping to their 10th Premier League defeat of the season but did score his 16th league goal of the campaign. Only Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Tottenham’s Son Heung-min have netted more goals this season than the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

It’s been said on numerous occasions throughout the season – not by everyone, but by many football fans and pundits alike – that Ronaldo’s return has caused United more problems than solutions.

But one damning video suggesting that Ronaldo’s teammates are more responsible for the club’s poor league position is currently being spread across Twitter.

Let’s check out some of the reaction to the video:
