everyone is downgrading ramos but for me he is the best defender in the world 4ucls in five years is not simple thing most of them downgrading his defensive abilities because of his goal scoring ability he is far more better than vvd and others and he is a modern defensive goat,the warrior,fighter,leader and more

Let’s face it: United and we fans must reconcile ourselves to a few years in the wilderness. It happens and it happens to all clubs. Crucially, it happened to Liverpool, so dominant in the 1980s, then fading away a liitle for a few years but now storming back, and it happened to United before. It happened to Spurs who also went through an odd slump and where something odd is going on, and quite what has afflicted Man City is not yet apparent. Perhaps it’s a passing squall. Chelsea, too, riding supreme for a few years also had a come-down. So, United fans, grit your teeth and take it on the chin. The glory days will return, but the can’t be rushed. be realistic and don’t clutch at straws.
