Manchester United is doing a great job to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus. But, the striker is believed to struggle in the Premier League because of the presence of Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk.
Since too much drama in Bianconeri just makes CR7 choose to leave before the end of the transfer window. The Portuguese intention also cleared after his lack of contribution in Champions League three last seasons.
This condition just makes The Red Devils willing to welcome their former best striker again. Following the recall transfer plan of Manchester City, they offer a two year deal for the player.
However, the Cristiano Ronaldo homecoming to the Premier League does not give a dreadful atmosphere, especially toward pundit and Liverpool legend named Graeme Souness.
Souness believed Virgil van Dijk is enough to defeat the 36-year-old on the pitch. He also added, the five Ballon d'Ors winners have already dropped some potentials until now.
"Every successful team has players where everyone is working to get the ball back. The top teams don't have many passengers and if you're taking Ronaldo at this time, he ain't going to give you the hard yards," he told Talksport.
"I have got a doubt about it. Juventus took him to win the Champions League, but he's not going to be the difference in the big games. He'll score goals, he will, because he's got a brain and he's been so athletic throughout his career."
"But in the bigger games against the better centre-halves... Imagine putting him against Virgil van Dijk!" he added.
Just like Graeme Souness said, the battle between Cristiano Ronaldo and Virgil van Dijk will be very interesting. Moreover, Manchester United will try to repeat the history of Premier League winning.
