"He [Rangnick] arrived here five weeks ago. He changed many things but he needs time to put his ideas through the players and on the pitch as well. I believe he is going to do a good job."

Cristiano Ronaldo:
"We knew we didn't play the best football as we should do but we have many games to improve. Since he [Rangnick] arrived I think in some points we are better but as I said before, he needs time."
Cristiano Ronaldo:
“It's not that easy to change the mentality of players and the system and the culture just like that, so I believe he’s [Rangnick] going to do a good job. I still believe we are capable of having a good season.”

Cristiano Ronaldo:
“We know it's going to take time to make the ideas of the new coach on the pitch. It's not that fast but looking forward we have to be professional, work hard, to be together as players.”

🗣 Cristiano Ronaldo:
"United should win the league, or be in second or third. I don't see other positions for Manchester United. In my heart, I don't accept that our mentality is to be less than to be in the top three in the Premier League."
[Sky Sports]
Cristiano Ronaldo:
"We're capable to change things now. I don't know the specific way because I'm a player. I'm not a coach, I'm not the president. I know the way, but I will not mention it here because I don't think it's etiquette on my part to say that."
[Sky Sports]
Cristiano Ronaldo:
"What I can say, and something that we are in control of, is that we can do it better, all of us. #mufc belongs in important things, so we have to change that."
[Sky Sports]
Cristiano Ronaldo:
"I don't want to be here at the club to fight for sixth place or seventh place or fifth place. I'm here to try to win, to compete."
[Sky Sports]
Cristiano Ronaldo:
"And I think we compete, but we are not yet in our best level. But we have a long way to improve and I believe that if we change our mind, we can achieve big things."

“Cristiano is undoubtedly the best, or one of the best, in the world, so it was a big decision for the coach and only he knows why he did it. But if Cristiano had played I’m sure we could have produced a performance like that. You’re talking about one of the best. "
Jose Fonte:
“Can he start against Morocco? Why not? It’s Cristiano. Listen, when you have the best at your disposal, it’s always good."
Jose Fonte:
"If the coach decided to play Ronaldo I’m sure he would be important as well. We all understand here what’s at stake and Cristiano has produced over the years many, many great performances and especially on the big occasions."

“Since I’ve come back, he’s been a massive influence. He always talks to me. He makes sure that he doesn’t leave anybody out. He just talks to everybody. He’s not ‘I’m the superstar here, I’m not going to talk to anyone.”

“He gives me advice. He talks to me. He has a joke with me. It’s just normal stuff. When you have a colleague that’s a footballer because at the end of the day, he’s a colleague of mine.”
