Ronaldo is not himself from his recent outings for Manchester United.

After rounding off Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster, it looked obvious the super star had buried home the opportunity to put his side ahead.

The poor manner in which he directed the ball simply allowed Southampton defence to clear the ball headed to the net, is not Ronaldo-eish.

Ronaldo has been in a bad state of form for his club that Ralf Rangnick is forced to answer questions about him every time he comes before the press.

Man Utd have to deal with the player’s problems which include his terrible ego, thinking that he must start all games.

The former Real Madrid and Juventus star does not possess the hunger and energy he started the season with. Against Southampton he wasn’t himself.

Ronaldo looked tired and demotivated. Man Utd under Rangnick are creating chances. The old Ronaldo would have a field day.

Signing the 5 time Ballon d’Or winner meant the biggest club in England were guaranteed a trophy this season. They are out of the knock out competitions. Ronaldo was the reason they were bundled out of the FA Cup recently.

The star missed a penalty which should have seen off the game before it headed for shootouts. The Premier League title is a distant dream.

They are fighting to get into the top four places to be able to play champions league where they are expected to muscle it out with Spanish Champions Atletico Madrid.

However, the star striker still remains the club’s highest scorer this season despite the slump in recent form. He has scored 8 in Premier League and 6 in Champions League.

Man Utd will pray that he reignites his thirst for goals when the team returns to the knock out stage next week.

Ronaldo had his best spell under the sacked Man Utd legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick. But under the new interim German boss Ralf, it has not been a nice ride.

Many doubt he will stay at the club if they do not make into Champions League. The club may find it difficult to keep him with either party failing to hit their targets.
