After being defeated 5-0 by Liverpool in the Premier League, Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo on Monday said that the fans of the club deserve better and the onus is now on the players to deliver on the pitch.
"Sometimes the result is not the one we fight for. Sometimes the score is not the one we want. And this is on us, only on us, because there's no one else to blame. Our fans were, once again, amazing in their constant support. They deserve better than this, much better, and it's up to us to deliver. The time is now," Ronaldo wrote in an Instagram post.
