Cristiano Ronaldo (I stay)

ETH putting him on with 5min to play was quite telling. If Antony and Gakpo come, there won’t be even that time for him.

Weird, surely - it’s better if he leaves now, time has come
 
We need him gone now. He’ll always be a legend at United but tonight showed that our future can’t he with him skulking around the place anymore.

Very good player with a very, very good record but never a legend, not for me.

He ruined that with his slave comments then and his attitude now.
 
He'll go, if a buyer actually comes in for him. This must be baffling to someone with his ego, he's the greatest player in the world how can no one want him? Um, because you're far from that level anymore Cristiano, and you're the only one who can't see it (Well apart from the sycophantic yes men you have around you).
Buy out your own contract and lower your outrageous demands, maybe then someone will pick you up on a free just so you can desperately try to score more goals than Messi in the CL this season, as that is the one and only thing you care about.
 
It was quite telling how ETH in the post match interview mentioned how he wanted forwards to press and that "some players feel like they can't do that because they need to conserve energy for attacking, but a modern forward needs to do both".. or something to that effect.
Yes! I’m surprised this didn’t get much attention. He pretty much called him out.
 
I'm still really puzzled as to where he goes when he leaves. His wages will have to take a big cut if the likes of Dortmund or Sporting or Napoli show interest. None of the giant clubs seem to want him at all.

As i said in another thread it'd be nice if he actually worked hard for his place here and accepted a lesser role. Probably impossible with his ego but I think it would endear him a bit more to some of the fans if he knuckled down. He could still play an important role here for one more year.

Ronaldo isn't a United legend, he fecked off as soon as Real Madrid came knocking.

Its like calling Haaland a Dortmund legend, he played for a few seasons became world class and left.

Ronaldo had 3 good seasons with us and ran for the door.
 
It's literally not the same as saying it himself :lol:
Literally, no.
Effectively, yes. 100%

If I say "I like the colour blue" and someone says "I agree", it is effectively saying they like the colour blue.

If someone says "I think we should murder all the babies in the world" and someone says "I agree", it is effectively saying they think that we should murder all the babies in the world.

So, not literally, no. But effectively, yes. The end result and implications of agreement are - literally - the same.
 
If you say you agree with a quote, then you might as well have said it. He didn’t say “bit harsh that, of course I’m not a slave” he said ‘yes he is correct’
Dude, hate him for any other reason even his haircut or how about his rape case.

But please don't go full --- with the blatter comments. He didn't say the words that keep getting used as an example. Which I think is hilarious considering there are so many other legitimate things to be annoyed about

Don’t worry, that’s by far the biggest reason I hate the scumbag.

C'mon dude. What are you on about? You don't need to talk about hypotheticals. Just bring up Blatter's comments and then Ronaldo's.

And break down what effectively means in that context.

That's a great reason. And after having understood what happened better I've had a lot of reservations with him myself.

So why is it always about his ego and his attitude that comes up. It feels like the sexual assault should be addressed more often because right now it's feeling like yet another case of rich and powerful man getting away with it.
 
I love Ronaldo, but it's time for him to go.
Sadly the only option who may want him is the MLS and he's far too arrogant to accept that.
 
So happy I don't have to pretend to like him anymore. Should've joined city. Hope he F's off even if no replacement is brought in, addition by subtraction considering what a diva and distraction he's been.

I can only imagine how much you have to pretend to like your mother-in-law if liking one of our football legends was this big of an ask
 
An immediate transformation with this fecker sidelined. I reckon ETH won the hearts and minds of the dressing room by dropping him and Maguire. Ballsy calls that needed to be done. Really sent a message bringing on Martial at half time and only giving Ronaldo 5 minutes at the end. No player is bigger than the club, and today Ronaldo was shown that. Massive for ETH. I admire him doing what needed to be done.

Hopefully we can bring in Antony and sell Ronnie before the window closes. I think Rashford, Martial, Sancho, Antony, Elanga and Garnacho will be enough.
 
Utd Legend without a doubt, you're being silly if you think otherwise.

His return was a great potential romantic story, and I've enjoyed watching him back in a Utd shirt, scoring goals.

But it's best for all if he go's now, the club has a new manager and direction, and it won't serve either the club or the player to have the Ronaldo show go on any longer.

Perfectly put.
 
Do we not need more of a number 9 if he leaves, however we look better with a fluid front 3

I don't see him as a legend, he club hopped as soon as he reached his potential. He came as a teenager with great potential, became world class and left. United was a stepping stone for him. His dream was Real Madrid and he is a Real Madrid legend.

Bruce, Irwin, Scholes, Giggs, Best, Ferdinand, Charlton, Rooney those guys are United legends.

Legends stay at the club, they retire at the club they give everything. They don't leave as soon as an offer comes in.

Ronaldo was one of the best United players ever in his prime, but he isn't a legend. He came for his starter years and came back for his twilight years at 36.

Fans are very sentimental, and there's a narrative but he was happy to nearly go to City.

I think it depends on your definition of a club legend. Ronaldo for example is Uniteds 14th top scorer. I would say is he one of the best ever to grace the game? Yes but yeah not a club legend for me.

One of the GOATs of football for sure.
 
Not a legend to me.
Couldn't get out the club fast enough, put in half assed performances the season after he didn't get his move and only started putting effort in post Christmas when the title and Champions League were on the table, had multiple opportunities to come back and said no each time, before finally coming back because a huge amount of money was offered and very little interest elsewhere. Now wants out again because the clubs a mess (compare that to Robson who dragged a more of a mess club through the 80's).
Legend in his own head yes, not in many others.
 
This knucklehead is punching windows in his house right now :lol:



Nothing surprising in that, as you pointed out. United just beat Liverpool after benching the diva - a pretty big difference between this and losing by 4 in the same fixture last season, when we decided to play through Ronaldo.

From the grand scheme of things, this is more than just a EPL match win over historic rivals, Liverpool. This represents a win for ETH and the power structure within United.

Can you imagine if United has lost the game without Ronaldofor 86 minutes? The Ronaldo marketing/propaganda machine led by Piers Morgan, CR7Timeline and Rio will be destroying ETH left, right and center, basically undermining the manager’s authority and potentially turning some United fans against him for their dear CR7. At least now with this victory, those elements are quiet and ETH has time to win over or has already won over many United fans
 
He's gonna rock up at Benfica if they qualify for CL

Just watch
 
he does not deserve this awful reception from the fans. he is the greatest player ever and it is outright disrespectful to sub him so late
 
Ten Hag bringing him on with only five minutes to go, I would have thought Ronaldo would have stormed off to the tunnel and refused to come on given his ego size
 
I also think is a bad decision. It removes any remote threat of a goal so Liverpool will concentrate just on the offensive although at the same time a defeat is expected even with Ronaldo playing as a starter. If the game is still even by the second time then he could be useful coming from the bench but if United is already losing by 3 goals then there would be no point in him coming in.
So that definitely didn't happen :D
