EPL: This striker won’t make it at Man Utd – What Cristiano Ronaldo told Dalot

Manchester United defender, Diogo Dalot has claimed that Al-Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo once told him that a player at Old Trafford “wouldn’t make it” at the club because he lacked “fire” in his game.

Dalot revealed this in a piece for the Players’ Tribune, published on Friday.

Ronaldo and Dalot played together at United after the five-time Ballon d’Or winner made a sensational return to the Premier League side.

In December 2022, Ronaldo eventually departed after falling out with Erik ten Hag, who was the manager at the time.

Dalot said: “That season with Cristiano was when I really started to grow as a player and as a person. I lost count of the number of predictions he got right, because he knows so well what it takes to go to the top.

“If anyone skipped a set in the gym, he would notice. We had a striker here who did really well for us in his first season, but Cristiano said, “He’s not gonna make it here.”
