Cristiano Ronaldo believes Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim faces an impossible task in turning around the struggling club, telling interviewer Piers Morgan that the Portuguese coach cannot work miracles. The 40-year-old Al-Nassr forward, who departed Old Trafford in November 2022 after his contract was terminated, said the team remains close to his heart but acknowledged the organization is heading in the wrong direction. Ronaldo expressed skepticism about quick fixes despite Amorim replacing Erik ten Hag last November, noting that while United possesses talented players, some fail to grasp what representing the club truly means.

United finished 15th last season, their poorest Premier League campaign since relegation from the top flight during the 1973-74 season. Under Amorim, the squad has climbed to eighth place after collecting 10 points from four recent matches, though they began the season with three defeats in six games. Since Sir Jim Ratcliffe's Ineos Group assumed control of football operations following his February 2024 stake purchase, the club has invested approximately 250 million pounds on new signings.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner suggested comprehensive changes extend beyond just coaching staff and players. Ronaldo, whose Al-Nassr contract runs through 2027, plans to represent Portugal at the 2026 World Cup before retirement.
