Cristiano Ronaldo is still the talk of the town following the big interview he did on Sunday with Piers Morgan.

He touched on several subjects, including why Manchester United have not yet caught up to Manchester City and Liverpool, who have dominated Europe and domestic competition.

Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, the club has not lifted the Premier League trophy. They finished second in the 2017/18 and the 2020/21 seasons but were far from the winners.

According to ESPN, Jose Mourinho said finishing second in the 2017/18 season was his best achievement with United.

Ronaldo on why United are struggling

Ronaldo, who won three Premier League titles with the Red Devils, said there has been no evolution at the club since he left for Real Madrid in 2009.

"Nothing changed since I left. The pool, the jacuzzi, even the gym, even some technology. Even the chefs who I appreciate, lovely people. I thought I would see new technology, infrastructure. I saw things I saw when I was 20," according to Sportbible.

He said some of those issues have stopped United from competing with the very best.

“But you have some things inside that don’t help (us) reach the top level as City, Liverpool and even now Arsenal . . . a club with this dimension should be top of the tree in my opinion and they are not, unfortunately.”
