Cristiano Ronaldo (I stay)

This whole situation is annoying because it’s being dealt in a very different way to every other player. He’s a diva who still believes he’s bigger than the club. If he’s so desperate to leave, Utd and him should agree to terminate the contract so we can put him out of his misery.
He shouldn't stay just cos SAF got involved. He needs to want to be here based on what the current manager has to say. What could SAF possibly even say that would be at all relevant?
Face to face talks with Arnold then
Can they play in a double pivot?
Too much drama. Get rid.
Dragging Fergie and the CEO of Manchester United after you've failed to find a club for yourself. FFS. It's just media management to say Fergie convinced Ronaldo to stay.

I mean didnt they just win Serie A? so not like they are small time.
I definitely think if Ronaldo has a solid season he could definitely get a gig at a CL club that plays a bit more route 1 style football and want a striker they can rely to turn in the goals and aren't required to be ultra mobile. Like Milan has done with Zlatan.
He'd be in a better position to appeal to Ronaldo on a emotional/personal level than any of the others could, you'd think. Whether that's a positive or not....
What does he need his agent for?
What could SAF say that’s relevant to Ronaldo? They’re very close. He isn’t the fecking cleaner.
This is the annoying aspect, I don't think SAF, Arnold would be rocking up at Carrington if Shaw wanted out.
They feed his ego and you wonder why he acts the way he does.
Richard Arnold is also there this morning so talks over his future will be taking place.
Nice of Mendes and Ronaldo to drag SAF into this mess.
A cheap move.
A cheap move.
Agreed. Why the overreaction? Isn't he a director anyway?
Looking likely. It will be officially SAF and love for utd which made him sacrifice UCL football where in reality he got rejected by every club.
If this meeting doesn’t end with us telling him to feck the right off, I’ll be majorly disappointed in this club.
Yep. And Ronaldo looks up to him as a father.
The usual Caf hysteria over nothing. SAF may well be there to read him the riot act and remind him what United is.
What a daft post
How do you know he is involved? You do realise that SAF goes to Carrington often, just because he is there after the team comes back from pre season, doesn't mean its only to do with Ronaldo.
The irony of the Caf moaning about the attention on Ronaldo yet making more attention on Ronaldo by being hysterical about every little thing.
Classic

I think you and I both have different definitions of what an elite side is. I was speaking of sides in the same tier as Bayern, Real Madrid, Barca, etc because this is the kind of move he wants now.
He could probably easily get a contract at the likes of Milan, Napoli, etc if he were to drastically reduce his wages.
The circus has arrived.
I'm putting my bets on now. Ronaldo is back with his tail between his legs but will attempt to play this as him doing us all a favour and that he will stick around if the club agrees that he doesn't get the 25% wage reduction that the rest of the squad have.

Prepare to be disappointed. It feels like we have no self respect as a club these days.
I very much doubt that.
It’s most likely the other way round. SAF would probably be trying to convince him to stay while he wants to leave so makes no sense why they’d drag him into this.
It absolutely is an issue!
He needs to keep his nose out of things, it's nothing to do with him at all anymore.
It completely undermines the current manager. If ETH can't convince (not that he should have to) to stay then Fergie shouldn't be involved and let Ronaldo cop himself on or rot on the bench.
If I were Arnold I'll tell him to royally feck off then.
Very naïve and outright delusional to suggest that SAF isn't there because of Ronaldo. What his role in all this is-is up for debate but he's there because of Roni.
Let’s be honest. Ronaldo isn’t Luke Shaw. The same thing would be happening if it was Messi.
More excited about Eriksen and Martinez being at Carrington than Ronaldo
Is there a single thing you don’t fecking moan about? If ETH wants to keep Ronaldo the club should do everything reasonable to make that happen. If that includes using SAF then so fecking be it.
If the club bring in SAF to convince Ronaldo then it gives Ronaldo power over ETH. It creates a dynamic where Ronaldo is doing ETH a favour because of SAF's influence only, kind of putting Ronaldo above ETH.
He obviously is.
I'll be shocked if Martial isn't starting in the 1st game of the season. Ronaldo will probably come into the team but he basically gave away his position through his decision to not join the pre-season.
He's 37, we're starting a new era he shouldn't be holding us by the balls.
This whole situation sucks.
Without a doubt. Really interested and excited to see how both will be integrated into the side.
It's embarrassing!
Any photos of the clowns and elephants heading into Carrington?
