#3 Manchester United would have been title contenders even after the Sir Alex Ferguson era
There is no doubt that Manchester United have been undergoing a bit of a slump post the Sir Alex Ferguson era. After 27 glorious years with Manchester United, the Scot stepped down as manager in 2013 and the Manchester club hasn’t looked the same since.
With United not able to keep with the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and even Leicester, they have had to resort to drastic measures such as roping in Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Jose Mourinho hoping for a quick fix. However, had Ronaldo stayed in England, the transition period would not be such a complication for the Red Devils.
It is obvious that with Cristiano Ronaldo’s presence Manchester United would still be contenders for the Premier League irrespective of the manager. The striker’s proven talent to lead teams was on showcase in the summer when he led his team to a historic European Championship triumph.
He could have very well lead Manchester United to a Premier League trophy under David Moyes or Louis Van Gaal. Imagine Marcus Rashford lining up with Cristiano Ronaldo in front of goal!
