Glenn Hoddle, a former England boss, has said that Cristiano Ronaldo would be out to prove Manchester United wrong in Qatar.
Hoddle believes that what is happening to Ronaldo at club level would provide extra motivation for the 37-year-old at the World Cup, adding that the tournament has come at the right time for him.
“I think there’s a real determination about Ronaldo to prove Man United wrong, to prove to everyone world that he’s still one of the best players in the world,” he told Metro.
“So I think this has come at a great time for Portugal and they can feed off that.”
According to Hoddle, Portugal have a strong team and if coach Fernando Santos could put out a well-balanced XI and they supply Ronaldo the opportunities and create chances for him to score many goals, adding that the former Real Madrid and Juventus forward could have a wonderful tournament.
“For me, he’s still one of the best finishers that United have got,” Hoddle said, adding that he does not see anyone as good as Ronaldo in the Red Devils’ squad.
