Liverpool Hero Nicol: Age Now Catching Up On Man Utd Striker Ronaldo

Liverpool hero Steve Nicol believes age is catching up on Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese superstar, 37, started for just the second time this season in Manchester United's Europa League defeat to Real Sociedad.

Speaking to ESPN, Nicol said: "I'll be honest, when you mention the game, the only thing I have in my head is Ronaldo clean through [on goal] and getting caught by two players.

"That's kind of what springs to my mind. And he did have another look.

He had a couple of other chances, not as good as that one, but there was just something missing.

"That's what I think about when I think of this game. But that's the only thing I can think of. The fact that Ronaldo was clean through and looked every one of those 36, 37 years."
