He is living a nightmare at the moment. Clearly doesn’t get along with the coach and isn’t able to cope. I’d be pissed too if I were him and believed I’ve still got it. They didn’t start him when he’s scored a Hatrick the last time they played Spurs at old trafford.
He can probably still score tons of goals if he was on good terms with the coach and team but his public sulking will only make matters worse for him

He brought this on himself by skipping 75% of the preseason and going back to manchester in the first place. He could have still thrived here, scoring 20+ goals and playing in the CL.

His decision to go back to Manchester ended up being fatal for his career.

He was a bitch in the first place and skipped preseason to whore himself out to other clubs.

United are doing well to bench him. His attacking play/goal production doesn't justify contributing nothing in defense.

This is where the real issue is.

I'm not saying Ronaldo could still score 40 goals a season like he did before, but he was still a world class striker last season. You don't go from that to nothing in the course of a few months. It is obvious though that at that age training and mentality are more important than ever. Unfortunately it seems like he doesn't have that same drive anymore. After scoring 700 career goals and winning pretty much everything he could win apart from the World Cup while earning pretty much a billion dollars, I can't really blame him either. If I were him, I'd just quit tbh.

He can only blame himself, but he probably won't.
I definitely don't think Ten Hag deserves all the praise he's getting though.

Ronaldo was an easy target and Ten Hag used him to make himself look strong. It works, because his players have zero life experience and are idiots anyway. Try stuff like this in the real world with intelligent people and you're kicked out of whatever company you were in in two seconds flat.

I’d say he still has the same drive, but that also means he’s living under some kind of delusion. He’s not the player he was 5-6 years ago, but he still think so mentally it seems

Also this obsession of his with the CL numbers doesn’t do him any good, he doesn’t seem to care much about the clubs/contract he signs

Bullshit move to leave the bench and stadium, but Ten Hag is just playing a tough guy here. He wouldn't let him leave in the summer, "we're counting on him" and then benches him for fucking Rashford who misses sitter after sitter, sends him for warmup yesterday 2 times and still doesn't sub him in. You just don't do that unless you have something against the guy.

He absolutely has drive and that’s why he is super frustrated. His fuck up was skipping preseason and trying to force his way out of the club. That set him on the wrong foot with the new coach from the get go.

Once it was clear he wasn’t getting a transfer the coach really had no other option than to put down his foot.

In a regular team where he gets along with his coach and teammates Ronaldo imo would still score 20 goals or so. I don’t think what’s happening to him right now is a sudden sharp decline in skill. He fucked up by trying to force himself out the club and skipping preseason. Any coach with a semblance of dignity will have to punish him for these antics

No one’s bigger than the team. Not even a GOAT like Ronaldo with this pathetic version of Man United.
