Legendary star Cron, the Manchester United icon, has suffered the embarrassment of being placed on the bench for three consecutive games for the first time after a 17-year career. With the arrival of new signing Anthony Mafios, the 37-year-old could face even fewer appearances.
However, Cron did not show any dissatisfaction as he shared a photo of himself training on social media with the caption, "Working hard." This behavior is enough to show that his inner fighting spirit is still strong.
Not only has Cron failed to start for the third consecutive game, but he has also failed to score in his last five games, marking his longest opening-season goal drought since his 17-year career. To make matters worse, United will face table-topping Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday night (4), meaning Cron's goal drought could continue.
Nonetheless, "Long fans" need not worry too much, as Cron managed to score in both games against Everton in the past season, scoring a total of 3 goals. And since he is known to perform better against tough opponents, it is not impossible for him to break his goal drought in this crucial match.
