Fans are outraged after Reece James, 22, chose between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo during a raucous Twitter Q&A, referencing Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold as a result.
James answered questions from fans on social media while he is healing from a knee injury that caused him to miss the World Cup.
Naturally, he was questioned about the long-running Ronaldo vs. Messi controversy, and his choice infuriated many online.
James chose former superstar Ronaldo for Manchester United, which provoked a negative online response.
Because of the 22-year-old’s selection, fans made reference to Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool.
Twitter user: “You know nothing about football.”
“Always know you are overrated, you don’t know ball,” another tweet read.
This is why Trent is superior to you, a third said.
“Trent is very clear of you,” a fourth person remarked.
“This is why Reece James is the finest RB ever,” another joked.
Ronaldo, whose agreement with Manchester United was terminated as a result of his contentious interview with Piers Morgan, has been the focus of strong transfer rumors.
Newcastle United is rumored to be interested in hiring the 37-year-old, who is being offered a lucrative contract by Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia.
Numerous reports claim that Ronaldo has a “formal proposal” worth a startling £173 million each season from Al Nassr.
He hasn’t agreed, accepted, or signed any offer, though, since his future is still up in the air as he competes for Portugal in the World Cup.
Todd Boehly, the owner of the Blues, wanted to sign the forward last summer, and Chelsea have also been linked to him.
Neville asserted on beIN SPORTS that they are thinking about making a play for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
If a team will bite, it may be from the UK, he added, adding that it could also come from elsewhere. Chelsea are the ones I believe are talking about it, thus it’s more likely to be abroad. Boehly seemed to favor Cristiano joining Chelsea.
