honestly Ronaldo is the LEAST of Manchester United's problem. 3 goals in 2 games that's fairytale stuff.. I don't know what more he's expected to do? I think he's exceeding expectations..especially if he gets more goals in the next few matches. Most people was predicting 20-25 goals for him this season. Got to give him credit where it's due surely. He's 37 in February.. people praise Emma Radacanu and get her trending saying she's 19 etc but doing what Ronaldo is doing at almost 37 is special too.. I think it often gets ignored as people just take it for granted..
maybe Ronaldo should've gone to City with some United fans saying he will hinder a team which hasn't won a major trophy in almost 10 years and over 12 points away last year
we are much closer to winning major titles with Ronaldo in the team how is that even up for debate!?
if we didn't sign Ronaldo we would have had no number 9 for the past 3 matches. As Cavani is a massive crock/sick note unfortunately. And if you think any other Manchester United attacker has Ronaldo's movement to score the goals he does you are naive. It's Ronaldo's movement which makes it look so easy. But ask any pro they'll tell you it isn't.. that's why goal scoring is the hardest thing to do on the field and why world class guaranteed strikers are paid the big bucks and are at a premium.
City would've loved Ronaldo today and in my opinion would've won that game with Ronaldo today. He wouldn't have been offside (the VAR offside goal) so the goal would've stood. That's the fine margins in winning trophies. The fact Ronaldo didn't go to City and chose to come back United from a purely career perspective (take emotion and rivalry out of it and think of what's best for Ronaldo)
he would have had a better chance winning trophies with City
he would have a better chance at scoring more goals
he would be there number 1 penalty taker as they are rubbish at pens
honestly I hope Ronaldo doesn't regret not going to City (as from a pure Ronaldo career point of view I do that it made more sense taking out rivalry and emotion) and United don't want his final years. Because if you provide him with chances he will score.. the United players need to be practising crossing in training to take advantage of Ronaldo's heading ability
Honestly if United have a disastrous season I could see Ronaldo leaving. He hasn't got time to waste that's why he left Juve.
some people are desperate to shoe-in Cavani in the side for some reason and upset the balance of a winning team by shifting Ronaldo to the wing where he can't play effectively anymore can't beat a man etc it's bizarre.. Against Newcastle that was one of our best performances with Ronaldo as our number 9. Why change something which is working? Keep playing that team until injury.. but I fear Ole will keep chopping and changing to give players minutes and that will be United's downfall. Ole has too many attacking players and he will feel pressured to play them like Lingard when it's probably not best for the team or United's title ambitions. That's why I was hoping a few attacking players left.
