Oyogist has learned that man United star, Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly told close friends he is starting to ‘feel his age’ amid his longest goal drought in more than 10 years.
The Manchester United forward has failed to score in 2022, with his last goal coming against Burnley on December 30.
In total, Ronaldo has scored only in just six of his 18 Premier League appearances and has cut an increasingly frustrated figure under interim boss Ralf Rangnick.
The 37-year-old was named as a substitute for the return clash with the Clarets in midweek, with Edinson Cavani preferred from the start.
Ronaldo however did come off the bench with 20 minutes to go, but failed to find a late winner as United dropped vital points in the race for a top four finish.
Having won three Premier League titles and a Champions League during his first stint with the club, the Portuguese international has come back to a team in a very different moment.
And in a candid interview conducted at the start of January, Ronaldo admitted that he hadn’t returned to Old Trafford to not compete for major honours.
“I don’t want to be here to be in sixth place, or seventh place, or fifth place,” Ronaldo told reporters. “I’m here to try to win, to compete. I think to build up good things, sometimes you have to destroy a few odd ones, he said further.
