Why we left Real Madrid amigo - Ex-Liverpool star trolls Manchester United duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane after Brighton loss

The former Los Blancos duo are mocked by Jose Enrique Former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique has trolled duo and following the side's shock 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on August 7. Former Real Madrid duo Ronaldo and Varane started the game on August 7 at Old Trafford against Brighton on the bench. With United staring down the barrel of defeat after a torrid first-half performance, Ronaldo came on in the second-half but couldn't help the side turn things around. With the Red Devils trailing 2-0 in the first-half and performing woefully, Ronaldo was pictured deep in conversation with Varane. Enrique has comically captioned the picture on his Instagram account with the quote: "Why we left Real Madrid amigo?" It's a fair question for the two world class players to be asking themselves, with both having enjoyed huge success at Real Madrid. Ronaldo is a five-time UEFA Champions League winner whilst Varane holds four winners medals. At Madrid, they would enter each season contending for trophies and be frontrunners for the UEFA Champions League. That is simply not the case at Old Trafford currently, with Manchester United some way off competing at the top of European football. The Red Devils will spend this season in the UEFA Europa League. It is this reason why many believe Ronaldo is looking for a way out of United so that he can continue playing in Europe's elite club competition. Manchester United next head to Brentford in the Premier League on August 13 with many of their fans hoping to see Ronaldo and Varane start the game.

The trio didn't work as United's main attack against Brighton, with the side improving once Eriksen dropped deeper in the second-half. Happy to be back Happy to be back With both Eriksen and Fernandes in the side, they can feed Ronaldo, who will be looking to kickstart his season despite rumors over his future.
