Virus, just like Pogba.
I would love it if he gets a move to a CL club, only to finish 3rd in group stage and transfer to Europa league

I find this situation bizarre, if he knew he wanted a champions league clubs only why not have an exit clause in his contract for if we failed to qualify? While the full extent of last season’s disastrous showing was unexpected, us finishing outside the top 4 was entirely possible. I mean the contract he signed with us had a wage reduction if we failed to qualify, so the idea couldn’t have been that shocking to him?
I think it’s something else than lack of champions league which is causing this. I’d guess he’s been told he won’t be a guaranteed starter and has flipped. The champions league narrative protects his name and makes it the team’s fault rather than admitting that he is no longer top dog.
He won’t get prawn sandwiches thrown at him - unfortunatelyWhat’s folks thoughts about the reception he’s gonna get when he reluctantly has to play for us this season? Currently, I think he will face some booing and verbal abuse, unless his PR team do some major back peddling.
The longer this goes on the more likely it feels that "the break" is actually Ronaldo on strike.There is no smoke without fire.
Initially Family issues did have a ring of plausibility around it. Remember they did lose a child a few months back. In those circumstances you might understand the club making an agreement with him to allow him an extended period away once the season had finished.
Soap opera always follows Mendes and Ronaldo around and the media abhors a vacuum and will generate noise for clicks so it can be refuted and turned into more clicks.
Thinking back has there ever been a direct, attributable quote from either of them on the subject? I've been following this relatively closely and i can't remember one.
The litmus test will be next week when United are back in Carrington.
It is trending that way.Feel some of the posts in here are getting a bit toxic toward Ronaldo.
Him and his partner lost a child just a few months ffs.
And he was your top scorer last season.
I agree it’s better for both parties if he leaves, but the resentment and nastiness toward him given the above is just bizarre.

No, he was not. That was when he had that Greek incident where he tried to bribe a police officer and got his ass handed to him in jail and came back crying. People have such short memories here. He was diabolical at the start of that season and excuses were made for him saying how he was traumatized by what happened in Greece. He was making numerous errors (remember the 6-1 drubbing Spurs gave to us?) and costing goals just like he did last season. But yes, am the one with an agenda who refuses to back an impressive footballer with 4 relegations on his CV.But brilliant the season before. Everyone was poor last seaon, apart from maybe DDG.
You carry on with your agenda, though.
Since his first stint here we’ve had players that have wanted out and with added drama. We rarely used to have it at all before then. It was the manager who decided. Pogba plays 5 games and goes on the record asking Madrid to buy him. Rooney when we didn’t sign players he liked. Ronadlo part 2. It’s just so annoying
Wth?It is trending that way.
He is 37 and wants to leave. This isn't 2008 when we just became Champions of Europe. We should give him all the time possible to find a new club. If it means starting with Martial upfront then so be it.
Yeah he's letting himself down big time this summer.He is destroying his legacy this summer. Nobody wants him and the fans of the only club that still tries to keep him will probably turn on him if he ends up staying.
At this point I'm fairly certain there are no real family issues. If there were any, we would have known by now. It's just Ronaldo refusing to play for us again. But there are some people who still believe he has some genuine family issues though.Wait so are there family issues or is he refusing to return? Can’t believe we’re going through all this with Ronaldo again.

This ... Ronaldo fan boys and girls are akin to a brainwashed cultHe should be booed for being a twat. But he'd probably be applauded for reluctantly accepting to stay after no one wanted him. In the eyes of his gullible fans he can do no wrong
Good
This ... Ronaldo fan boys and girls are akin to a brainwashed cult
If Fergie applauds him, would it make you the abnormal one ?This ... Ronaldo fan boys and girls are akin to a brainwashed cult
My goodness. Lingard as Moleman too
No ... Who cares if Fergie applauds him? You'd have to be a sheep to blindly applaud just because Fergie applauds him. I respect Fergie, but he's entitled to his own opinion. Ronaldo's disrespecting the club and not for the first time, we owe him nothing.If Fergie applauds him, would it make you the abnormal one ?
You are also entitled to your own opinion, but painting everyone in the same light is dangerously narrow minded imo.No ... Who cares if Fergie applauds him?
