Gary Neville implores Cristiano Ronaldo to lead Manchester United through Premier League slump

Gary Neville has implored Cristiano Ronaldo to assume a leadership role at Manchester United following their disastrous start to the season - despite the Portuguese star wanting to leave Old Trafford.

United currently sit bottom of the Premier League table following two consecutive defeats, with the ongoing uncertainty of Ronaldo's future at the club appearing the bleed into their performances on the pitch.

Appearing on The Diary of a CEO podcast, Neville explained his belief that the 37-year-old striker is the only member of Erik ten Hag's squad that is capable of leading United out of the ongoing struggles.
