YouTube star Darren "IShowSpeed" recently shared his views on the condition of Manchester United FC since Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo left the team. Reviewing the football club's performance, IShowSpeed implied that Manchester United had not been the same since Ronaldo's second stint at the club ended in 2022.
Discussing the matter while going through the club's recent match against Liverpool during his YouTube broadcast on January 5, 2025, IShowSpeed stated:
"I feel like for the past few years, ever since Ronaldo left, bro, it has not been the same, bro. I feel like it has not been the same, man. Like, oh my god! Like what is happening? To Liverpool?"
IShowSpeed claims Manchester United has not been performing as well in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo
IShowSpeed is known to be a massive fan of Cristiano Ronaldo. He has a Lamborghini Huracan-themed after the footballer and often wears the Portuguese national football jerseys during his IRL broadcasts. The streamer recently showcased a section of his new gaming room, which was entirely dedicated to the football star.
In light of Manchester United's performance against Liverpool in their Premier League match-up on January 5, 2024, IShowSpeed was left disappointed in the club's performance and stated:
"Oh my god! Really? I stopped watching for thirty minutes! Why are we losing to Liverpool? Like, chat, what is up with Man United, bro? I mean, like, for real. Like, I'm a life long Man United fan."
IShowSpeed often showcases his athletic prowess, going up against established professionals in their respective fields. For instance, he went up against Olympic track and field athlete Noah Lyles in a race. Despite losing, some believed that the runner was "barely able" to beat IShowSpeed.
In other news, speculations regarding a potential collaboration between IShowSpeed and Cristiano Ronaldo have hit an all-time high since the football legend created a YouTube channel, called UR Cristiano. The streamer even met the footballer's son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., in Saudi Arabia while visiting there to attend the boxing match between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.
