Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo were left in despair after suffering a shock 2-1 defeat to Villarreal in the Europa League Round of 16 on Thursday. Ronaldo, who has been in scintillating form this season, was visibly frustrated throughout the game and his emotions boiled over after the final whistle. “It’s a disaster. I’m very disappointed with this team,” Ronaldo told reporters after the match. “We didn’t deserve to lose, but we didn’t do enough to win.” The Portuguese superstar has been a talisman for United this season, scoring 24 goals in all competitions. However, his efforts were not enough to prevent a humiliating exit from the Europa League. “I’m giving everything for this club. But I need my teammates to step up,” Ronaldo added. “We need to be more consistent and we need to show more quality.” United took the lead in the 10th minute through Alex Telles, but Villarreal equalized just five minutes later through Dani Parejo. Gerard Moreno then put the Spanish side ahead with a penalty in the 34th minute. Despite Ronaldo’s best efforts, United were unable to find an equalizer in the second half. The defeat leaves them facing a trophyless season and raises serious questions about the team’s future under manager Ralf Rangnick. Ronaldo, who is known for his high standards, was visibly upset after the match. He stormed off the pitch and refused to shake hands with Villarreal players. “I don’t want to talk about my future. I’m just thinking about the disappointment of this defeat,” Ronaldo said. “We need to work harder and we need to be better.” The Europa League exit is a major blow to United’s hopes of salvaging a disappointing season. They are now out of all cup competitions and are struggling to finish in the top four of the Premier League. Ronaldo’s frustration is understandable, but it is also a concern for United. The club needs its star player to be leading by example and helping to turn things around.
