4am! Ronaldo has been waiting for his first goal in 2022 and has not scored for 39 days.

At 4 a.m. on February 9, Manchester United will be a guest against Burnley in a Premier League make-up match. After the FA Cup exit, Manchester United can no longer make mistakes in the Premier League. Once they miss the top four, then they will be this season. A huge disaster.

Due to well-known reasons, the Premier League schedule this season is extremely chaotic, like Burnley, who have only played 19 league games so far, which has led them to the bottom of the league, while Manchester United have only played 22 games, one less than some teams. Tottenham has even played 2 games less than Manchester United, so after the next supplementary games are played, the Premier League standings will change a lot.

Let’s go back to this game. If Manchester United can win Burnley, they will continue to consolidate their fourth position. In the current standings, Manchester United is only 1 point ahead of West Ham behind them, and the gap with Arsenal and Tottenham is only 2 points. If Manchester United cannot beat Burnley, they may lose fourth place (West Ham is almost the same Time to make up the match, at home against Watford).

Fortunately, Burnley is currently in a sluggish state. They have been without a win in the league for 9 consecutive rounds. If Manchester United can play normally, they should be able to get 3 points. In fact, Manchester United’s biggest problem is mainly due to themselves. This season, they often waste opportunities and lose points. Especially with the decline of Ronaldo’s state, Manchester United’s offense has encountered some problems. Rangnick must activate the superstar, otherwise Not only will it affect the Premier League’s fourth-place finish, but even the Champions League game against Atletico may be in trouble.

Coincidentally, Ronaldo’s last goal was against Burnley on the last day at the end of last year. At that time, Manchester United won 3-1 at home, and Ronaldo scored the third goal for the team to seal the victory. Now the Portuguese superstar has not scored for 39 days at the time of writing this article, and he is still waiting for his first goal in 2022 (Messi has scored his first goal of the new year, will Ronaldo be far behind? ).

In the FA Cup game against Middlesbrough last weekend, Cristiano Ronaldo had a chance to score, but unfortunately he missed a penalty and wasted 2 single-handed shots, resulting in Manchester United being upset and eliminated. Next up against Burnley, Ronaldo cannot continue to be so generous. Fortunately, he rarely slumps in a row. As a guest in this game, if there is an opportunity, he should be able to grasp it.

Manchester United’s situation is not bad now. They are only 9 points behind Chelsea in third place with 2 games less. If they score 6 points in 2 games, then competing for third place is definitely a real possibility. The goal. It’s not an exaggeration to say that they will fight for four and three, but the premise is that Manchester United don’t lose points easily. The current good situation will deteriorate at any time due to an upset loss. I hope Ronaldo can carry the team at the critical moment. , He and Manchester United really can’t afford to lose!
