EX-NIGERIA international, Victor Ikpeba, believes that  Cristiano Ronaldo is the main problem of Manchester United's struggles this season.

Recall that the Portuguese international made a return to Manchester United this season and since then debate has been going on if it was the right thing for  United to do.

Apparently, Victor Ikpeba believes that the signing of Ronaldo was the beginning of Manchester United woes.

"I think he should be leaving the club. Ronaldo coming back to Manchester United was a mistake," the 48-year-old said on SuperSport's Monday Night Football. 

"It is not a question of him scoring goals, so many things happen when a star player returns to his original club.

"In many ways, Ronaldo has been a distraction. He's a global star in football, he shouldn't have come back at that age, he should have gone to Manchester City.

"Egocentric players, jealousy comes to play in the dressing room. The atmosphere has been nasty right from the beginning."

Ronaldo has gone ahead to score 22 goals for the club in all competitions, but Manchester United is out of the race to win any silverware this season and could potentially lose out of a Champions League spot.
