Louis Saha, a former Manchester United striker, has made a claim.He claimed that the Old Trafford side would have avoided their 7-0 humbling at Anfield on Sunday if Cristiano Ronaldo was part of the team.The melancholic loss which saw seven goals pierce the defense of the Old Trafford side was their joint-worst-ever competitive loss inflicted by The Merseyside giantsSaha, on the other hand, felt if the Al-Nassr man was still in the English side, the match won’t have been as one-sided or they might have even bagged a win for the first time in eight trips to Anfield.He told Comapre.bet: “Ronaldo’s departure marked a fresh start for United, and it gave ten Hag a blank page to draw upon, which has allowed him to establish a winning mentality at the club.”“Now that the club’s mindset has improved, I think they’d be doing even better if they had Cristiano up top,” he continued.Of course, it’s hard to know for sure, but when I see United losing 7-0 to Liverpool, I can only think that Cristiano could have helped.”The Manchester side have not scored at Liverpool’s home ground since 2018, during the reign of Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho.
