Cristiano Ronaldo has emphasized the need for a comprehensive overhaul at Manchester United to restore the club's competitiveness. Speaking on the 'Rio Ferdinand Presents' podcast, the veteran forward expressed satisfaction with the current investment efforts led by INEOS boss Jim Ratcliffe.

Ronaldo stressed that significant changes are essential for the club to reclaim its status as one of the world's best. He highlighted the importance of rebuilding from the ground up and leaned on the expertise of former teammate Ruud van Nistelrooy, now an assistant coach, to guide manager Erik Ten Hag.
