These are the reasons why Cristiano is no longer decisive at Man Utd and today it was evident

Manchester United achieved the objective in their visit to Sheriff Tiraspol in the second matchday of the Europa League, they played at all times keeping the rival without spaces, in many passes they tried to play behind the rival defenders' backs.

Christian Eriksen is still in great form as he created several attacking chances for the attacking players, helped out with the ball under control, was effective with passes, and even his great play was finished off with the assist for the first goal to his English team-mate, Jadon Sancho.

There were many overflows down the flanks in search of the opposition goal, until in a promising move the Portuguese right-back, Diogo Dalot, was interfered with on his way into the area, which was penalised with a penalty that his compatriot, Cristiano Ronaldo, was responsible for taking, making it 0-2 in favour of the visitors.

The second half was plagued by making a lot of passes and looking for a reliable outlet without risking the ball, and playing calmly because Sheriff had nothing to lose if they relaxed defensively. Cristiano was an irregular player, because he abused to look for balls and generate pressure when it was not appropriate.

Age is struggling for Cristiano to be determinant

The Portuguese is 37 years old and even after a match of great physical effort he was applauded, more for what he represents to the football fan, because the physical aspect cost him, he was slow on many occasions and except for his goal he had a very discreet match. The effusive side of the Portuguese star was not missing.
