Playing Berbatov means Ronaldo struggles

Premier League Manchester United

comment on the article

For those of us who watched Ronaldo last season his finishing was brilliant but the rest of his game was poor the number of assists was about the same number as Brown's, and his work rate isn't that good.

I think if we don't allow Ronaldo the freedom and play for him as a team I think he will struggle, I expect Berbatov to take up many of the positions Ronaldo scored from last season and this could mean if Ronaldo is played more as an orthodox wide player he will struggle to get in the team.

We know in big games he tends to struggle against top class defenders.

Absolute rubbish.

Not too many assits eh? You do realise that in 0order to GET an assist SOMEONE ELSE has to FINISH the chance.

Seeing as the biggest complaint of his forward partners last season was their poor finishing I cant really see how a lack of assits is entirely Ronaldos fault.

Class will out. Hes a brilliant player - having Berb there will only help him.

Every year there is doubt that Ronaldo will fail. Somehow, he manages to outperform his previous years achievement. Probably, this year as well as scoring goals, he will provide assists.

It could happen as well Ronaldo doesn't want to be a red.
