5 beneficiaries of Ronaldo’s departure from Manchester United

With Manchester United announcing, on Tuesday, that Cristiano Ronaldo will leave the club with “immediate effect” after a “mutual agreement” between the two parties, the question remains, who are the biggest beneficiaries of this decision?

Ten Hag

Dutch coach Erik Ten Hag got rid of his first problem, Ronaldo, and can now plan to work on Manchester United without thinking about taking into account the feelings of the Portuguese star, or dealing with him in the dressing room.

Anthony Marcial

The French striker is now the only outright striker in the squad, following the departure of his rival for the position, Cristiano Ronaldo. Martial may play most matches from now on without worrying about Ronaldo’s “competition”.

Bruno Fernandes

It is very clear that playmaker Bruno Fernandes was much better before Ronaldo moved to the team. Fernandez will return to be the “center” of the attacking team, which may return him to the top level of two years ago.

Marcus Rashford

The English striker can play as a winger or attacker, but he has suffered fluctuations in level in recent years.

Rashford suffered from inconsistency with Ronaldo, and his departure will give the young Englishman an opportunity to re-impose himself and form more harmonious pairings with the rest of the team.

Manchester United fans

The fans of the “Red Devils” may be the biggest beneficiaries of Ronaldo’s departure. Whether they are with him in his crisis with the team or against him, the focus will now be on the team and its performance in the league, without distraction and division around Ronaldo.
