Erik ten Hag gave the 37-year-old, who celebrated the most recent of his five Ballon d’Or victories in 2017, the captain’s armband, but he once again lagged behind.
Ronaldo had three shots at goal, but none of them resulted in goals. He also received a yellow card as United lost 3-1. In 16 appearances this season, the forward has only managed to score three goals.
Following the loss, a Twitter user suggested that Ronaldo “honor his heritage and retire like Pique.” Another wrote: “Ronaldo should just quit like pique did yesterday.”
“RONALDO SHOULD DO A PIQUE AND RETIRE IMMEDIATELY IF HE LOVES UNITED,” another person chimed in.
Finally, a fourth said: “The days of Cristiano Ronaldo are over. He need to resign like Pique did.”
Cristiano Ronaldo of Man Utd received a booking despite being chosen as the team’s captain.
The fans brought up Pique’s decision to leave Barcelona midway through his contract, which received a wildly enthusiastic response after their victory over Almeria.
Some people were surprised by Ronaldo’s selection as captain given Ten Hag’s position regarding his inclusion in the starting XI and the fact that he was benched in October due to an attitude problem.
At Villa Park, Ronaldo’s situation deteriorated as the home crowd made fun of him for seeming frustrated after getting into an altercation with Tyrone Mings.
With a victory over Almeria, Gerard Pique completed his time at Barcelona on a positive note.
With regard to the outcome generally, Ten Hag said Match of the Day: “It is unacceptable that we lost the game early in the first and late in the second half. They appeared more alert and prepared.
“We must improve our focus. The outcome is rather obvious. It does not lie. We weren’t adequate today.
“We chose the incorrect organization. At 2-1, we produced chances, even good chances. But giving up right at the opening of the second half truly hurts.”
