Cristiano Ronaldo criticises Manchester United in New Year message

Cristiano Ronaldo took to social media to bring in 2022, posting a photo alongside his family on New Year's Eve.

The Portuguese star wrote a short message summarising his year, but was quite critical of his current club Manchester United.

"2021 is coming to an end and it was far from being an easy year, despite my 47 goals scored across all competitions," Ronaldo wrote on Instagram.

"Two different clubs and five different coaches. One Euro Final Stage played with my national team and one World Cup Qualification left pending for 2022.

"At Juventus, I was proud to win the Italian Cup and the Italian Supercup, and become the Serie A top scorer.

"For Portugal, becoming the Euro top scorer was also a high point this year.

"And, of course, my return to Old Trafford will always be one of the most iconic moments in my career."

The Manchester United forward then continued his message with some strong words for his current club.

"But, I'm not happy with what we are achieving in Manchester United," he added.

"None of us are happy, I'm sure of that.

"We know that we have to work harder, play better and deliver way more than we are delivering right now."

United have reached the knockout stages of the Champions League, but are currently in sixth position in the Premier League, something that Ronaldo and the rest of his teammates will surely want to improve on in the coming months.
