"The mature players, the older players can always help the young players," Ronaldo told Premier League Productions. "But, I can give you an example, if I give you advice, even if you are younger than me and if you don't implant that in a daily life it will be difficult.

"You can speak all day with that person. If he's not coming from inside of you it's impossible. I remember when I was 18, 19, 20, some old players speak with me and I put that as, 'Cristiano, you know you have to improve. They know more than you, they are more experienced than you'. They passed through many bad moments.

"But the other people (youngsters), they don't accept that if you criticise them. I don't say this in relation to our players but in general. I have kids, I know. Sometimes when you're a little bit harder, they do the opposite, you have to find the right balance to speak with them.

"To build new things you must destroy other things".
Shots fired. Loud & clear.

Isn't that insightful?
We were thinking the youngsters were blessed of getting experience mentors like Cavani and Ronaldo. Now we are finding out the younger players don't want to.

Remember a month or two ago where all the media were targetting Ronaldo for making United worse and he doesn't press?
Looks like a media attack now from the dressing room camp using their PR tools.

Sportsmail has also learned of one example where Ronaldo complained privately that he is one of the only United players who goes to the gym to do extra work before and after training at Carrington.

Topkek. Got world no 1 or 2 player to learn from also dunwan follow

Man Utd really have a lot of issues, from manager not competent enough to coaching staffs not good enough. Then say Ronaldo is not doing a good job till today that young players don't want senior to tell them what to do.

If anyone is talking about club tradition, it has already been destroyed. The club is now a mess. The day where Sir Alex priorities senior leadership from the players to pass the winning mentality to next generation are long gone.

and then there are comments that united play better without Ronaldo. but when he plays i see he doesnt get the passes from the players  that he has to drop back get the ball himself. lets see if thats the players who are playing player power, this time not against the coach but against cr7

Even CR7 & EC21 worked much harder than Sancho/Rashford/Greenwood, can se ehow deep they go dowb to win ball
