Luis Nani believes Cristiano Ronaldo “doesn’t have time” to be a part of a long-term project as he pushes for a move away from Manchester United.
Due to their dismal start to the season, the Red Devils appear unlikely to contend for major awards any time soon, and the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is eager to leave.
Some Manchester United supporters who were thrilled when Ronaldo’s transfer from Juventus was completed nearly about a year ago now have a bitter taste in their mouths because of the player’s desire to depart.
His former teammate, both at the club and international levels, can understand his desire to leave, though, as time is undoubtedly not on his side.
What Has Nani Said About Ronaldo?
Nani was quizzed about his thoughts on the actions of his former teammate on Rio Ferdinand’s VIBE WITH FIVE Podcast.
“It’s a long time since we played together and Cristiano is not a kid anymore,” Nani responded.
“Times change and the reactions and attitude can change as well. But, as we see, he’s doing the same things as usual; he doesn’t like to lose, he reacts when the team is not doing well.
“But the only difference is that it’s different times. He’s playing again at Man United but he’s been all over the world doing well at different teams with different players.
“He’s in a team where the managers are trying to build a strong team and it’s not easy, it takes time.
“For Cristiano, he doesn’t have time to lose on building teams or waiting for the next season. He wants to continue to be at the top, scoring goals, being the man.
“That’s why the reaction is normal, we all have the wrong reactions sometimes.”
What Did Nani Say About The Current United Team?
Nani also spoke about the present situation at the club and his history at Old Trafford during his 52-minute conversation with Ferdinand, Joel Beya, and Stephen Howson.
According to Nani, “I don’t like to talk too much, I don’t talk about players but you can see there is no hunger, there is no attitude or desire to win in the club.

“You have a lot of talented players but they don’t want to get tired. If I had to get sweaty to win, I would. They prefer to not sweat.
“You have talented players in the team with a lot of skills, they can shoot with their right foot and left but last game [against Brentford], no one was shooting at goal, everyone was passing.”
