Carragher Blames Ronaldo For Maguire's Struggles At Man United

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has offered insights into the power dynamics at Manchester United, suggesting that Cristiano Ronaldo's apparent power struggle with Harry Maguire contributed to a sense of undermining within the team. Maguire was stripped of the captain's armband before the commencement of the current season, and the Red Devils' manager, Erik ten Hag, subsequently appointed Bruno Fernandes as the team's new skipper. Ronaldo's return to Manchester United was met with great anticipation and fanfare, but Carragher believes that his challenge to Maguire's authority marked a significant shift in the team's dynamics. He wrote in the Telegraph: “It was a similar story when Cristiano Ronaldo returned and reports emerged about power struggles in the United dressing room. “That is when the undermining of Maguire gained momentum.”
