Cristiano Ronaldo and Thibaut Courtois were the star guests at the 2024 Globe Soccer event, hosted at the Palm in Dubai on Friday. Sitting on the podium, Ronaldo gave a scathing review about his former club, Man United, and revealed his perspective on the current situation, sparking debate about the club's ongoing struggles.When asked whether he would return to United, he acknowledged the difficulty of such a move, stating, "Difficult. The Premier League is the most difficult league in the world. And I said this one year and a half ago, and I will continue to say, the problem is not the coaches."Giving an analogy to illustrate his point of view, the Portuguese superstar said, "It's like, I'm always giving this example, I will try right now. It's like the Aquarius."If you have the fishing inside and it's sick, you take him out and fix the problem, and if you put it again in the aquarium, they will be sick again. And this is the problem of Manchester United, it's the same. The problem is not only the coach; it's much more than that," he explained while speaking at the Globe Soccer Awards.When asked if he thinks that is still the case at Old Trafford? "A hundred percent. If I were the owner of the club, I would make things clear and adjust to what I think is bad there."

Hence, it is clear that Ronaldo still believes Manchester United's problems are systemic and ingrained in the club's structure and environment. Simply changing the manager ("taking the fish out and fixing the problem") is insufficient if the underlying issues within the club remain unaddressed.He also spoke about the potential of owning the club in the future, and claimed of he would fix the club's issues as owner."If I will be the owner of the club, I will make the things clear and adjust what I think is bad there," he said."I am still very young, I have so many plans and dreams ahead but, mark my words, I will be the owner of a big club for sure."Meanwhile, Ronaldo also heaped praise on Real Madrid and said, “If you want to bet on a team in the Champions League, bet on Real Madrid,” said the Portuguese international, who is currently plying his trade for Al Nassr.“People didn’t expect Real Madrid to be good at the beginning but they are now ahead of Barcelona.”“Teams are scared to play in the Bernabéu. It has a special aura,” he added.
