"He’s always dangerous" - Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic praises 'hungry' Cristiano Ronaldo

Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic has labeled Cristiano Ronaldo a 'dangerous player' for his sheer hunger to score goals.

Speaking to Star Sports (via the Indian Express), Matic claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo does not need to play well to help his teams because he has the tendency of always scoring goals.

The Manchester United midfielder said:

“He’s always dangerous. His teams don’t need to play well to win the games, that’s his quality. When the team is not playing well, he is always there to score. He is always hungry for goals and when you have someone with his experience, with his quality, you just need to give your best and try to give him the ball in the box."

Cristiano Ronaldo has made a tremendous start to his life at Manchester United. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner scored twice on his Premier League debut against Newcastle United. Ronaldo also scored on his second Champions League debut for the club against Swiss champions BSC Young Boys.

Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival has made Manchester United one of the favorites to win the Premier League title this season as they finally have a squad capable of challenging the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City. Speaking on Manchester United's chances, Matic said:

“I think that it is the right time to say that we want to win the title, of course. I’m sure that we have a good squad, I see everyone happy and working very well and my target is to win the Premier League with this club and of course, the UEFA Champions League."
