Cristiano Ronaldo named Man United Player of the Month October 2021

Remarkably, there has been some criticism of the centre-forward, even though he also scooped the Premier League’s overall monthly award for September for his exploits.

Former team-mate Rio Ferdinand said on his Vibe with Five YouTube channel: “I’ve heard some talk and the only way I can explain it, is it’s blasphemy, when I heard some people talking about Ronaldo’s the reason why Man United aren’t going to be a success. Listen, I’ve been seeing too much of it. Don’t talk like that, please. It’s a disgrace, absolute disrespect.

“A player that’s done what he’s done in the game, a superstar at any generation, he’ll be one of the best players in any generation you can think about. Even again, he just told people at the weekend what he’s about here. The pressure’s on and he scores.”
