Cristiano Ronaldo was warned by Lionel Messi over Manchester United return; Details here

Lionel Messi, the football rival of Cristiano Ronaldo, had warned him that his joining Manchester United in 2021 would be riddled with problems and would not be smooth. Manchester United was a homecoming for Cristiano Ronaldo, the club he had left 12 years ago. He was successful in Real Madrid, where he scored 311 goals in 292 appearances. The star never settled down in the club, and for the 40 matches he played for Manchester United in his second episode, he scored just 19 goals. A far cry from his solid form in Real Madrid and his performance of the six Ballon d'Or awards.



Cristiano Ronaldo is not in any club today but captains the Portugal national team. Ronaldo did try his best for Manchester United and shot 24 goals in the last season, but he couldn't lift the club's sagging fortunes in any way. The club came sixth in the Premier League from 2nd last year. All the players went down in their form after Ronaldo joined the club. After the interview with Piers Morgan, he finally said goodbye to Manchester United. Erik Ten Hag, the Manager of Manchester United, made sure he hardly picked Ronaldo for a match.


On the other hand, Lionel Messi has been somewhat at home in Paris St Germain too, but certainly better in position than his football rival Ronaldo. He played 39 matches for PSG and shot 13 goals so far. Messi played 520 games in his earlier Barcelona club and hit 474 goals. He plans to extend his stay in the Parisian club and has settled in Paris with his family. He has also got back his form in the second season and hopes to remain in the club. Messi has already won a record 7 Ballon d'Or awards.
