One Manchester United player had a message just for Cristiano Ronaldo after the Al Nassr great set yet another milestone in his legendary playing career.
After leaving Manchester United in 2022, the Portuguese attacker, now 39 years old, has been playing for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.
After Cristiano Ronaldo fell through the ranks under Erik ten Hag’s management at United, the two had a falling out during Ronaldo’s second stint at Old Trafford.
Ronaldo dropped a stunning interview bombshell on Erik ten Hag just before he left United; he was captain of Al Nassr and Portugal.
In 2022, Ronaldo and the Red Devils mutually cancelled his contract. In 2023, the United great signed with his current side, Al Nassr.
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d’Or winner, has been making goals in Saudi Pro League play. In 63 games with Al Nassr, he has scored 58 goals.
While playing for Real Madrid in the 2023–24 season, Ronaldo has been sensational, scoring 35 goals in 31 league matches.
After Al-Nassr defeated Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League match at Al Awwal Park Stadium on May 27, Cristiano Ronaldo of Al Nassr watches the celebration.
Man Utd player lavishes Ronaldo with adoration
Cristiano Ronaldo, a superstar at Manchester United, set a new record for most goals scored in a single Saudi Pro League season.
Ronaldo has already scored 35 goals in 31 games, which is more than Abderrazak Hamdallah had in the 2018–19 season.
Abderrazak Hamdallah of Al Ittihad accomplished the same thing, although in four less matches than Ronaldo of Al Nassr.
Ronaldo scored twice in Monday’s Saudi Pro League match at the Al Awwal Stadium against Al Ittihad, completing his latest accomplishment.
As the Saudi Pro League season came to an end, Al Nassr finished second, only 14 points behind winners Al Hilal.
After Al Nassr broke the Saudi Pro League record, Ronaldo shared his joy on Instagram and other social media.
“The records follow me, not the other way around,” he said.
A screenshot of Jadon Sancho’s response to the Real Madrid and United legend was uploaded by the Al Nassr Zone account on the social networking site X, which was formerly known as Twitter.
Borussia Dortmund loanee Jadon Sancho reacted to Ronaldo’s tweet with a single emoji, simply stating that Ronaldo is the greatest of all time.
Regarding Ronaldo’s impact, Sancho
Sancho has gushed about Ronaldo’s impact on him since his return to Old Trafford and has even said that he “loved” Ronaldo’s mindset.
“He’s a great professional and obviously he was one of my role models growing up,” he said in January on Borussia Dortmund’s YouTube page.
I like his mindset, and I think every young player there at the time learned the hard way that if you want to be the best, you have to practice as you play.
Viewing footage of him is unquestionably motivating, but meeting him and playing with him was a dream come true. Every day, whether you’re working out, recovering, or working out, you need to sleep well.
“I’m grateful to him and believe he has imparted knowledge to me throughout his tenure in Manchester.”
