Manchester United stronger with Cristiano Ronaldo admits City star Ruben Dias
According to A Bola (h/t Sport Witness), Manchester City defender Reuben Dias believes that Manchester United are in a stronger position this season with the inclusion of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese forward had an instant impact as he scored on his second debut for the club, in the UCL and Premier League. He was also on target in the 2-1 win over West Ham on Sunday, making it four goals in three games already.
In an interview relayed by A Bola (h/t Sport Witness), Manchester City ace, Ruben Dias, spoke about his Portuguese teammate’s influence on United. The young defender regards him as a great influence and also believes that Man Utd have now become a tougher opponent with his arrival.
“Cristiano, year after year, continues to be at a high level…. We won’t be predicting the future, but obviously, United come out reinforced and become more and more a strong candidate.”
The Red Devils have finally got their elite-level striker back at the club and he is already delivering the goods. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has yet to win a trophy with this team as a manager. In his time at the helm, the club have reached the semis and the finals of a few competitions. Despite this, they have always faltered at the final hurdle.

The 36-year-old took a major pay cut after three years in Juventus to return to Old Trafford. Fans will be hoping that he delivers the club’s first trophy since 2017.
