Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world. Most football fans keep on debating about this issue year by year but the truth is we can’t talk about great players in the game of football and we we don’t mention CR 7 .
“It was a difficult game but we believed until the end. I helped my team to get one point and I’m so happy,” said Ronaldo. “We never give up. We believe until the end and it’s a good result for us.”
“We all have our roles and responsibilities,” said Solskjaer. “He is a leader.
“He does provide those moments. I am sure Chicago Bulls didn’t mind having Michael Jordan. I know votes are coming up, Cristiano is getting better and better for us.”
Speaking to BT Sport, Solskjaer added: “Cristiano is just incredible.
“That’s what he does and if there’s anyone you want the chance – and a difficult chance – to go to in the last minute it is him. His technique on that volley was incredible.”
“People say he doesn’t work hard enough, doesn’t close people down, doesn’t press, but he does the hardest thing in the game – score goals,” former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand told BT Sport. “At that critical moment he steps up – in any country, in any stadium, at any time. He just arrives on the biggest occasions and delivers.”
“Atalanta will be kicking themselves that they haven’t managed to see this through to a 2-1 victory,” said Osman.
“You couldn’t see how Manchester United could manipulate a chance but when it falls into the path of Cristiano Ronaldo you just know what’s going to happen.
“Magical moment from a magical player and it was important. United needed to make sure they didn’t lose that game.”
If United go out with that second-half performance against Manchester City they will get slapped again, three, four, five goals,” said Ferdinand.
“The intensity was not there. You look at it and you say what formation are they playing? It was in disarray. Ronaldo saved them in the second half.
“United were fortunate Atalanta didn’t score any more and the great man stepped up.”
Former United midfielder Paul Scholes added: “If it was not for that second goal it was a mess. Again, Ronaldo has pulled his team out of the mire from a poor second half.”
