Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of Al Nassr, has expressed confidence that things will improve for Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim despite the club’s struggles this season.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, speaking at the Globe Soccer Awards, assured fans that the tough times at United are temporary, saying, “I knew it would be tough and they would continue the storm, but the storm will finish and the sun will rise.”

United’s season has been far from smooth, with the team currently languishing in 14th place in the Premier League following their 2-0 loss to Wolves on Boxing Day.

Despite the club’s ongoing challenges, Ronaldo remains optimistic about Amorim’s ability to turn things around.

“I hope things will be good with him,” Ronaldo said. “I wish the best for Manchester United because this is a club I still love.”

Cristiano Ronaldo has shared his ambition to own a football club in the future, ruling out any plans to take up coaching or club presidency.

Speaking at the Global Soccer Awards, the Al Nassr forward explained that ownership could be an exciting step once the right opportunity presents itself.

“I’m not a coach, and I’ll never be a coach,” Ronaldo stated.

“President of a club? No. But maybe an owner. It depends on the moment and the opportunities.”

When asked if he had a specific club in mind, Ronaldo responded with a thoughtful, “Not yet, but maybe a few.”

The conversation then shifted to his ties with Manchester United, prompting questions about potential dealings with the club’s controversial co-owners, the Glazers.

While Ronaldo didn’t confirm anything specific, his comments have made speculations about what his next big move in the world of football could be.

Black Galaxies head coach, Didi Dramani, remains confident that his team can secure a win against their long-time rivals, Nigeria, to claim a spot in the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN).

After a goalless draw in the first leg held in Accra last weekend, both teams are set to face off in the decisive return leg at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo today.

Speaking during a press conference in Uyo, Dramani showed that he believed in his team’s ability to finish the job.

“We had more chances in Accra but were just unlucky not to score. It’s in the past now,” Dramani stated.

“Today is another opportunity to get the goals and seal our qualification for CHAN.”

He acknowledged the strength of the Nigerian team, noting that matches between the two countries are always intense.

“Nigeria has a strong side, and it’s never easy when we meet.

But we are ready to step up our game,” he added.

“We’ll play with an attacking mindset and aim to return to Ghana with a win.”
