Paul Scholes believes Cristiano Ronaldo has become "a little bit of a problem" for Portugal and insists it is "not right" for the forward to still be leading the line at the age of 41, with Nicky Butt also criticising the veteran.The former Manchester United midfielders launched a stinging assessment of their old team-mate after Portugal were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by DR Congo in their opening World Cup match on Wednesday.Ronaldo made history in Houston by matching Lionel Messi's record of appearing at six World Cups, but the milestone occasion turned into a frustrating evening as the Al-Nassr forward struggled to make an impact.Despite Portugal dominating possession and taking an early lead through Joao Neves, they failed to build on their advantage and were pegged back by Newcastle striker Yoane Wissa before the interval.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour SayRonaldo endured a particularly difficult outing.The five-time Ballon d'Or winner failed to register a shot, create a chance, complete a dribble or win a duel, yet remained on the pitch until the final whistle as Roberto Martinez withdrew Pedro Neto, Vitinha, Bernardo Silva, Tomas Araujo and Nuno Mendes instead.Scholes admits he sympathises with Portugal's manager and revealed he had previously asked Martinez directly whether Ronaldo's presence had become an issue."I think it's difficult for the manager," Scholes said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast."I did a Stick to Football with Roberto Martinez and I asked him off-camera, I said, 'Is he a problem for you?', because I feel he is a little bit of a problem."At 41 years of age... I think there's only one position on the pitch at 41 years of age where you should be starting a game and that's goalkeeper, for me."Scholes accepts Ronaldo remains capable of scoring goals, particularly in a team that controls possession, but fears Portugal will struggle when matches become more open."Now look, he is going to score goals and he's in a team that have a lot of possession, but once there's a game where it has to be transition... and there will be games like that. His movement at 41 years of age..."LATEST SPORTS NEWS:World Cup star suffers injury so horrific that ITV refuse to show replaysTV presenter quits and apologises after falsely claiming Lionel Messi's father had diedEngland national anthem row takes fresh twist with Thomas Tuchel 'unlikely' to be appeased by rule changeThe former England international believes Ronaldo would be more effective as an impact substitute."The trouble with Portugal is they haven't really got an outstanding centre-forward anyway, have they? You've got to have somebody who runs."For me, he has to be a player for the last 15 minutes. For a 40 or 41-year-old to be playing centre-forward, I just don't get it."You might get away with it at centre-half, you might do in a team that keeps the ball and you probably get away with it as a goalkeeper, but as a centre-forward at 41... it's not right."Scholes also suggested Ronaldo would have been irritated after seeing Messi score a hat-trick for Argentina and Kylian Mbappe net twice for France earlier in the tournament."Cristiano will be so pissed off because Lionel Messi got a hat-trick, Kylian Mbappe got two... it will be killing him," he added."I feel sorry for Martinez because he's trying to embrace it and he's saying, 'No, I've got the best goalscorer in the world', but deep down he must know that's hurting his team."Another of Ronaldo's former United colleagues, Butt, agreed and warned Martinez has a "massive problem" to solve."He was when he came back to Manchester United for a second time, it was a problem," Butt said."If you look at the fans last night, they had around 20,000 Portuguese fans and I reckon 18,000 had 'Ronaldo 7' on their back so you've also got that to deal with as a manager as well."Ronaldo later addressed supporters on Instagram, writing: "Not the start we wanted. "But this is far from over. Head up and focus on the next game."Martinez also defended his captain after the match, insisting his experience remains invaluable."It makes no sense to get the best goalscorer in world football out in a game that you need goals," the Portugal boss said.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
