Manchester United fans showered praise on Cristiano Ronaldo after his strike secured a point for them. The Red Devils went head-to-head against Chelsea in a crucial Premier League clash on Thursday, April 28 at Old Trafford. After a goalless first half, the Blues scored through Marcos Alonso on the hour mark. Thanks to Ronaldo, Manchester United equalized two minutes after the opening goal of the game.

The Red Devils seemed set to lose the game after being dominated by the away side, but the Portuguese maestro put them level with a powered shot from close range.

The Old Trafford faithful are understandably happy with Ronaldo's effort, which was his 17th Premier League goal of the season. They took to Twitter to slam claims that the Portuguese star has been a problem for the team.

Here is a selection of tweets from Manchester United fans:

Spoils were eventually shared as Ronaldo's first-ever goal against Chelsea canceled Alonso's opener. The Red Devils have yet again dropped valuable points in their quest for finishing in the top-four places


Cristiano Ronaldo is going to have to accept: Dean Jones on Erik ten Hag's Manchester United appointment

According to journalist Dean Jones, Cristiano Ronaldo will have to adapt his game to suit incoming manager Erik ten Hag. Jones said this is needed if he is to be successful under the Dutch manager at Old Trafford. The veteran goal machine has enjoyed a productive season in front of goal this campaign, but following poor performances by the rest of the team, they currently sit in sixth place.

Speaking to GiveMeSport, Dean Jones pointed out that Ronaldo would have to push himself to fit into the tactical setup of his incoming manager if he intends to stay and succeed at the club next season. He said:

“Ronaldo is going to have to accept the situation. How much he knows of ten Hag, I don’t know. But, it’s up to him to do his homework, understand his style of football, understand his philosophies.”

Ten Hag is widely expected to set Manchester United to press from the front as has been his preferred style. The demands of this tactical instruction may be an issue for Cristiano Ronaldo, who is currently in his late 30s.

However, with Ronaldo’s remarkable physical attributes and insatiable drive to win, it is likely that the Portuguese star will adapt. However, it also remains to be seen if he will even remain at the club next season.
