Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford last summer from Juventus. Since then, the 37-year-old striker has scored 15 goals and made three assists in 29 appearances in all competitions.
United currently sit in fourth position in the Premier League. They are now set to face Atletico Madrid in the Round of 16 in the Champions League on Tuesday. However, Seagraves believes that even the five-time Ballon d’Or might struggle to lift spirits in the coming weeks, considering his age.
Speaking to NDTV Sports, Seagraves said:
Atletico Madrid told to be more offensive against Manchester United
Mark Seagraves also believes that Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone might have to find more balance between his defense and attack. Like Manchester United, Atletico are also in a difficult position domestically as they sit in fifth position.
Seagraves believes that they should attack more often considering the recent dip in form. He said:
Simeone’s men will come into the first leg with a 3-0 victory over Osasuna under their belts. Luis Suarez scored from near the halfway line with his left foot, with goals from Joao Felix and Angel Correa completing the rout.
Seagraves claimed that Atletico have a slight advantage over United as the first leg will be played at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid. He said:
Ronaldo has scored 25 times and has put up nine assists in 35 matches against Simeone’s team. The Portuguese has not scored more goals against any other team except Sevilla (27), and will be looking to continue in the same vein.
