Cristiano Ronaldo (I stay)

[Ted Lasso]

Look at that, the club manipulating fan emotions with this nonsense again to take away attention from the dire state of the club.

Manchester United players ran 13+ kilometers LESS than Brentford. This isn't about any one player.

This myopia is part of why fans have enabled the Glazers for so long. Its everyone else's fault but their precious owners

Most likely the club saving face rather than saying they are terminating the contract because the team just aren’t good enough to expect him to stay

Precious owners? Wtf? Pretty much every United fan hates the Glazers

Good. Get him the feck out.

Ronaldo’s demeanour is said to be worsening the atmosphere at the club’s Carrington training ground, with one source describing the Portugal forward as “a walking bad mood”.

The striker has a year left on a lucrative contract, meaning that United could face a significant financial hit to get him off the books. The club’s owners, the Glazer family, may be reluctant to sanction any move to lose the one global star in the squad.

The average fan really knows more than professional coaches, it was clear it's not worth it since the end of last season.

Just release him, do everyone a massive favour.

If this is true, then that's very concerning.

The same guy also made the below claim about Joel Glazer refusing to sanction a extra year for Thiago whilst he was on the move from Bayern, Which slowed things down and gave Liverpool an opening to sign the player.

Anybody getting Florent Malouda vibes?

 

[Jazz]

So is he gonna go Sporting then? Doesn't seem as if anyone wants him.

PSG would be perfect for him. Wonder why he never tried to go there when they were in their muppet phase of getting every big player.

Anyway, he's not the main problem so let's not be distracted too much.

I still can’t believe the club are trying to keep him. Despite how shit the alternatives are, it’s the most blatant cut your losses situation you’ll ever see.

 

[unplayable]

Get Morata on loan as a replacement and let Ronaldo leave.

 

[The Firestarter]

Exactly what he wants? What bullshite is this

Can Sporting even afford his wages?

This. I don't particularly rate Morata, but at least he doesn't seem to be a toxic, whiny dickhead.

 

[sewey89]

My all time favourite player, but my god let him go. Rip his fecking contract up

 

[Deery]

They’re getting it out there before Ronaldo does do you think anyone in their right mind is sticking about after yesterday.

 

[Nou_Camp99]

It is what he wants but if he's going to bring the mood down every day at Carrington then what's the point. Player power always wins.

 

[Jazz]

Don't think so but he gets CL. I mean he doesn't really need any more money. Surely CL etc is more important? Then again I haven't a clue if the Sporting coach wants him.
Nobody's biting so far. Probably don't want the headache.

 

[devilish]

Exactly what he wants? What bullshite is this

He either improves his attitude or else we will give him what he wants. That would teach him

 

[AdamColeBebe]

Walking bad mood?

The entire squad is a fecking bad mood parade

If we're suddenly going to start looking at attitudes (years too late) then don't stop at Ronaldo

 

[Berbaclass]

Anyone think this is internal club staff v Glazers here? Briefing this to try and force their hand.

 

[RacingClub]

This myopia is part of why fans have enabled the Glazers for so long. Its everyone else's fault but their precious owners

But it's being reported that the main reason he's still here is that the Glazers are the ones blocking his move because he's so valuable commercially?

 

[Stobzilla]

Momentum went out of Pre-Season the minute he showed back up, let him walk.

Agree. There seems to be a lot more of a togetherness without him.

 

[Based Adnan]

Multiple journos reporting it. Clearly a briefing. He's gone, and probably for the best.

 

[Jazz]

Dunno but it needs sorting.

Problem is I don't know where he would go. Maybe Atleti? Can't see anyone interested. If there is no where for him to go just now, then we need to come to an understanding with him because having a bad attitude is not what we need.

Oh yeah I fecking love the Glazers, me. Been tip-top owners from day one.

Hopefully. Will get our arse into gear into buying a striker. Ha.

Worse it’s the club putting blame on Ronaldo, which I find ridiculous.

 

[Judas]

This could be like a new signing, things haven't been right since he re-signed with the club.

Good news imo but we need to send Kiefer Sutherland out to get us a new striker pretty sharp.

What's next, players reporting they couldn't run more in games in fear of Ronaldo

It is certainly interesting that the journalists appear to finally be willing to discuss the facts of the Glazer ownership rather than trotting out the "spent a billion pounds" line which we all know it horseshit. You could be on to something.

 

[steffyr2]

I’d like to see Ronaldo’s press conference after he leaves.
