MANCHESTER, England :Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has responded to stinging criticism from club great Cristiano Ronaldo, his former Portugal teammate, by urging fans and pundits alike to look forward rather than dwell on the past.

Ronaldo, who won eight trophies at United, told Piers Morgan in an interview this week that United were “not in a good path” and warned that Amorim was “not going to do miracles” at Old Trafford.

“We say in Portugal, ‘miracles only happen in Fatima,’” the 40-year-old Al-Nassr forward said, adding that the Manchester club lacked long-term vision.
