Cristiano Ronaldo hates what's happening at Manchester United but refuses to blame Ruben Amorim

F or a slight bit of time, it felt like Manchester United was starting turn the corner under manager Ruben Amorim . Three straight wins had the Red Devils in the Top 4 conversation once again. They still are, but a 2-2 draw against relegation-fighting Nottingham Forest was more familiar for Manchester United fans in recent times.

It wasn't too long ago that United finished third in the Premier League, but a bad 2023-24 season and a poor start to the 2024-25 season saw Erik Ten Hag sacked and Amorim slotted in with high expectations . Amorim, a former Portugal teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo , couldn't do anything to keep the season from being a disaster. It only got worse at the start of the 2025-26 season, with United getting eliminated from the EFL Cup by a League Two side .

Even though Amorim hasn't had much time to turn things around, he's been on the hot seat for a while already . That doesn't sit too well with Ronaldo, who believes the issues at his former club run far deeper than the manager .

Cristiano Ronaldo calls out Manchester United's footballing authorities

While speaking to Piers Morgan in an exclusive interview, Ronaldo spoke about Manchester United's current "sad" situation .

I'm sad because it's one of the most important clubs in the world, a club that I still have in my heart. Manchester United right now don't have a structure. We all have to be honest and say they are not in a good path. They need to change. It's not only about the coach and players, in my opinion, it's much more... [Amorim] is doing his best. What is he going to do, miracles? That's impossible.

Ronaldo believes there's a bit of an identity crisis with the club and its players . Amorim might just be along for the ride on a sinking ship.
