The Exact Moment An Emotional Cristiano Ronaldo Was 'Broken' By Manchester United's Season Is Going Viral

Cameras caught Ronaldo's reaction.

Cristiano Ronaldo's immediate reaction to Manchester United conceding an equaliser vs Southampton was very telling, with fans thinking he's been 'broken'.

United were held to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon after surrendering a 1-0 lead for the third time in eight days.

Che Adams cancelled out Jadon Sancho's opener and Ronaldo's reaction was captured by beIN SPORTS cameras.

Ronaldo looked up to the heavens before letting out a sigh and getting into position for kick-off. It's the kind of thing you don't often see from the ever confident five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

The 37-year-old hasn't scored a goal in 2022 and United's hopes of sealing a place in the top four are slipping away with every passing game.

When Ronaldo returned in the summer, many won't have predicted it panning out this way.

Fans have reacted to the footage and they think the Portugal international is very close to giving up.

One commented: "Hard watching the man who made me fall in love with footy like this."

Another said: "Hurts seeing him like this he's the last one that deserves this."

A third put: "Everyone turning on him too, they’ll be back once he starts scoring again."

While someone else tweeted: "This lowkey made me feel bad, maybe he should've chosen Man City?"

Sancho scored his first home league goal in the 21st minute following a slick counter attack from United.

Marcus Rashford darted down the left before firing in a cross for Sancho to tap home.

Southampton grew into the game however and Stuart Armstrong tested David de Gea just before half-time.

Just after the break, Adams found himself beyond Raphael Varane and saw his effort go in off the post.

Ralph Hasenhuttl's side never gave in and Armando Broja tested de Gea once again while giving Harry Maguire a torrid time of it all afternoon.

Maguire nearly snatched it in extra time, but Fraser Forster got down low to claw it away.

"We lost a bit of composure, took the wrong decisions and this is where we have to get better," United interim manager Ralf Rangnick said post-match.

"Whenever we prepared the team, we have had an excellent first half hour like today but have to do it for longer."

United return to action on Tuesday evening against Brighton & Hove Albion.
