A Premier League table showing teams positions since Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure from Manchester United has made for difficult viewing for the Portugal international.
The 38-year-old was the Red Devils’ top scorer last season, as he managed 18 league goals in what was a season to forget for Man United. However, after falling out with Erik ten Hag, Ronaldo left the club and signed for Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr.
Many supporters felt that the Portuguese star disrespected the club and would be a better side without him in it. Since the five-time Ballon d’Or winner left, United have been on a rich run of form and now find themselves in a title race.

This table makes for uncomfortable viewing for Ronaldo fans, as it reveals how improved his former club have been and has proved that Erik ten Hag’s decision to remove the striker was correct. Marcus Rashford has been symbolic of the improvement, contributing to 29 goals in 34 matches so far.
The Dutchman has been a revelation at Old Trafford and his ruthless treatment of Ronaldo really stamped his authority onto the squad. United are now 16/1 to win the Premier League, according to UK betting sites and has shown that he didn’t need the footballing great.
Ronaldo’s impact in Saudi Arabia can give his supporters something to cheer about, with the former Real Madrid talisman scoring four goals in his last match. This secured his 61st career hat-trick and reached a landmark of 500 league goals.
