Cristiano Ronaldo has struggled "for two years" as Man Utd ace told to consider retiring
Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United this summer, the Premier League braced itself for an almighty title challenge from the Red Devils.However, things haven't turned out as expected, and although Ronaldo is still scoring goals at the age of 37, he isn't finding the league as easy as he previously did during his first stint.The five-time Ballon d'Or winner made the shock exit from Juventus on Deadline Day this summer, but some fans have highlighted United as the reason that Ronaldo is starting to struggle.But Ronaldo has been told to quit all together by a former Real Madrid star, who believes that the Portugal captain has been finding it tough "for two years". Brazilian legend Ze Roberto played until the age of 43, but even four years on he continues to boast his shredded figure on social media, sharing the same mentality for a healthy lifestyle as Ronaldo.But despite the fact that Ze Roberto had such a lengthy career, he stopped playing in Europe at the age of 36, and he has urged Ronaldo to consider retirement for the benefit of his own legacy.Ze Roberto told Sky Sports: "Cristiano is, for me, a machine, but I don't think he will still be going at 40 because he is a player who has always played at the highest level, always winning trophies and always trying to be the best player in the world.Should Cristiano Ronaldo consider retiring at Manchester United? Comment below."But in the last two years, we have seen he has not been able to do that with Juventus and now with Manchester United.

Manchester United ace Shinji Kagawa once dated a porn star who has over seven million views on an adult video site.When Kagawa arrived from Borussia Dortmund for £14.4million in the summer of 2012, he was linked with Japanese adult actress Ameri Ichinose.She stars in a number of videos on the adult site PornHub, with videos featuring her having racked up a total of seven million views.Unfortunately for Kagawa, he was far less prolific than his rumoured partner and scored just six goals during his two injury affected seasons at Old Trafford before returning to the Bundesliga.Ichinose is understood to have begun starring in adult films back in 2006 when she was 18-years-old, having previously worked as a glamour model.She also once boasted about her love for sex and admitted she likes it "the nastier the better".The 34-year-old has also appeared under other stage names, which include Erika Kurisu and Ayaka Misora.Despite winning the Premier League during his first season in England, Kagawa struggled at United and was blighted by a knee injury during his time at the club.Will Manchester United finish in the top four this season? Let us know in the comments section below.Overall, he made a total of 57 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring six goals and providing 10 assists for his team-mates.He was sold back to Dortmund in 2014 for half of what United had paid for him two years earlier and has since embarked on a nomadic career.Kagawa had spells in Turkey, Spain and Greece before joining Belgian side Sint-Truiden on a free transfer in January.Perhaps surprisingly, though, he is not the only former United player to have dated a porn star, with Marouane Fellaini's ex-girlfriend also part of the business.The Belgian was

Man Utd lied about Eric Cantona's transfer because they wanted to do Leeds fans "a favour"
Manchester United and Leeds - but United did do their bitter rivals a favour in the past over the deal that saw Eric Cantona shipped off to Old Trafford.The fiery Frenchman etched his name into United folklore after his rotten stint at Elland Road.Cantona netted 82 times after joining the Red Devils, with his goals instrumental in United ruling the roost in the mid-90s.Inspired by their maverick frontman, United won four Premier League titles in five years before Cantona hung up his boots at the age of 30.But despite the 55-year-old's unprecedented success at Old Trafford, Leeds could hardly wait to ditch him after a row with former boss Howard Wilkinson back in 1992.However, there are contradicting tales as to just how much United paid to prise the hitman away from Leeds.And despite historic claims that United paid £1.6million for Cantona's services, it's since been alleged by former United chairman Martin Edwards that the club only paid a £1m - and they agreed that Leeds could claim that they'd banked a greater fee to appease their fans."I am in my office and Bill Fotherby rang and asked about buying Denis Irwin. I said no but, thinking on my feet, just said: 'What about Cantona?'" Edwards recalled.Do you think Cantona is Man Utd's best ever signing? Let us know in the comments section"I had never had a conversation about Cantona with Alex but had read that Howard Wilkinson and him didn't get on."So I blurted it out.

Jesse Lingard 'blocked' from leaving Man Utd before deadline despite wanting out
Manchester United today, leaving the Englishman free to leave for nothing in the summer.Lingard's contract is currently set to expire on June 30, and the midfield reportedly wants to leave.However, according to The Athletic, Lingard's wish will not be granted on Deadline Day despite links to numerous Premier League clubs.Ralf Rangnick had initially allowed Lingard to move, but after a meeting at Carrington on Monday, Rangnick has backtracked on his initial promise.Lingard had hoped to leave in an attempt to gain first-team football to try and force himself into Gareth Southgate's plans for the World Cup.Lingard has made 14 appearances for United this season, however, he only found the net twice for the Red Devils.His form has been a stark contrast to that at West Ham.Lingard moved to the Hammers on loan during the 2020/21 January transfer window, and he was a revelation in the middle of the park for David Moyes' side.The Hammers have been strongly linked for his signature, and so have newly-minted Newcastle United. What do you think of United's decision to keep Lingard? Let us know in the comments section United have already seen a number of first-team stars leave this window.Axel Tuanzebe moved to Napoli on loan while Anthony Martial made the switch to Sevilla on loan, and Donny van de Beek is expected to leave for Everton, also on loan.

Jesse Lingard meeting Ralf Rangnick on Deadline Day to push for loan move
Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick on Monday morning in order to force through a move to Newcastle.The Red Devils midfielder is understood to have spoken to the German coach at the club’s training ground at Carrington on Sunday, where discussions continued into the evening.The Athletic claims the Old Trafford hierarchy want Lingard’s salary covered by Newcastle for the remaining four months of the season, along with a £2.5million loan fee and £12million bonus if they avoid relegation.But with the lofty demands bringing a halt to negotiations, Lingard has taken matters into his own hands.The 29-year-old is looking to force through a loan deal before the transfer window closes.He believes that meeting Rangnick will help push his proposed move and encourage his boyhood club to set terms for a deal which Newcastle will actually consider.That, along with Newcastle’s belief that there may be some flexibility with regards to the figures demanded, have resulted in some late optimism surrounding the deal.United are understood to want a suitable compensation for Lingard, having put huge resources towards the player’s development since the age of seven.Do you think Man United are demanding too much for a player whose contract expires in four months?
