Ronaldo is burning his bridges and Manchester United need not bother trying to repair them.
Man Utd must make Spurs victory a watershed moment for Ten Hag. And Ronaldo…Man Utd turned a page in a victory over against Tottenham that has to mark the start of a new chapter for the Red Devils. And Cristiano Ronaldo…We have to be careful – we’ve been here before with Manchester United. They turn in a performance or pull off a result and we all dare to wonder if, this time, the Red Devils really have got their sh*t together.
The brilliance of his performances used to shield him from flak when he could not keep his ego in check, so too did the idea that Ronaldo’s drive was a positive influence on a fragile and impressionable dressing room. Now, no longer getting his own way and very obviously not interested in an impact-substitute role, Ronaldo is burning his bridges and United need not bother trying to repair them.
From front to back, United offered the best version of themselves. Tottenham were inescapably poor but the Red Devils’ fluency, fight and cohesiveness had more to do with that than Spurs’ own unique Spursiness. It certainly helps that United, finally, have a fit-for-purpose defensive screen. Casemiro wasn’t Ten Hag’s first choice in the summer but he is quickly making himself the first name on Ten Hag’s team-sheet. We know from the 30-year-old’s career at Real Madrid that he’s much more than just a stopper but the concern when he joined United was whether he might get bogged down in his water-carrying duties. A couple of key passes and eight overall into final third suggest not.
