Cristiano Ronaldo has struggled in his second Manchester United stint because 'no one crosses the ball' anymore, says former team-mate Louis Saha... as he explains why the returning hero changing his position in recent years was a 'clever' move

Cristiano Ronaldo has not lived up to expectations in his second spell at Manchester United because the team don't cross the ball enough, says former team-mate Louis Saha.

Ronaldo cemented a legacy as one of the greatest players in football history after leaving United in 2009, scoring 551 goals in 572 games for Real Madrid and Juventus while winning four Champions Leagues and as many Spanish and Italian titles.

He also added another four Ballon d'Ors to his collection, having first claimed the prize while at Old Trafford in 2008, meaning there was plenty of excitement when he sealed a return to the club last summer.
