Manchester United forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, has insisted that the Red Devils are two steps behind their Premier League rivals Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea.

Man United have won a record 20 league titles, 12 FA Cups, five League Cups and three Champions Leagues in the past.

But they have found success hard to come by since their legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement almost a decade ago.

Since Ferguson left Old Trafford back in 2013, Man United have only lifted three trophies – the FA Cup in 2016 and the League Cup and Europa League in 2017.

However, speaking in an interview with TalkTV’s Piers Morgan, the Portugal captain said, “Since Sir Alex Ferguson left, I haven’t seen an evolution at the club.

“Manchester United hasn’t followed the right way to reach success, like other teams, for example, Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea. They are one step behind or two.”

Uganda head coach Paul Put has outlined three key areas his side must focus on to secure victory against Nigeria when both teams clash in Tuesday’s Africa Cup of Nations tie.

Put’s side must claim all three points against the Super Eagles or risk an early exit from the competition. The Cranes have just one point in Group C after their opening two matches.
A win against Nigeria could see Uganda qualify as one of the best third-placed teams.

However, speaking at his pre-match press conference on Monday, Put said that for Uganda to overcome Eric Chelle’s side, they must “concentrate be very prepared and win their duels” against Nigeria.

“We have to go for it [win against Nigeria] and we will do it,” Put said.

“Nigerians play at a high level in Europe, so we have to be very concentrated, very prepared and win our duels, which is one of the strong points of Nigeria.”
