Sure, you could well be right. Seems like a type who'd be very open to coaching / instruction, willing to play a specific role in a team. I think even at RB however he was known as being pretty wasteful, and his speed / tenacity seems to be his best attributes.
If we were still playing Oleball I'd probably agree, as he'd suit a counter attacking team well. A team looking to control the ball however? I don't think he suits at all personally. But then hey, opinions are opinions.
If he went back to Sporting it would help make it feel like less insulting behaviour on his part
Seriously, why and how are you not promoted from new member yet?! Ridiculous!
PSG struggled to balance their side by adding Messi to Mbappe/Neymar - there's close to zero chance they also sign Ronaldo, especially if they try and offload Neymar - it would almost completely be for sporting reasons i.e. to get another hardworking player/forward in there, instead. Imagine adding an ego the size of Ronaldo to a dressing room containing Mbappe, Messi and Neymar.
I wish he'd pull his finger out, but I don't see Martial doing a Saha sadly.
He loves the club so much they said. I prefer to let him go and get a young talented striker in
Yes and would round his career off nicely too
sporting - United - Madrid - Juve - United - sporting
I think he's overestimating his current value I don't see were he goes to seriously, United don't like to sell to other top 6 clubs unless its a total dud (we'll probably sell Chelsea Telles if they want but not Ronaldo), he can't go back to Spain I don't see Madrid wanting him to break the current chemistry between Benzema and Vini (they'll do that only for Mbappe), barca are broke, PSG have publicly stated no more bling bling deals, no Italian club can afford his wages, so where?
Listen the team isn’t responding to failure like the other historic big clubs would. Let him go.
If he accepts to be used by manager as impactful sub, it will be good. But it doesn’t seem possible at all, no? He is better leaving.
Yes - this is my stance: if he wants out, we should let him go. Pure and simple. Don't make a fuss over details - just let him go.
In terms of transfer fees, we're not talking about huge amounts anyway. Not relatively speaking.
My thinking is that Ronaldo (Mendes) has lined up something - whatever it is. United should just go with that and be done with it.
Nobody has anything to gain from blocking a move.
I meant - for Chelsea.
If he actually accepts being an impact sub for United, I'd want him to stay.
He could - potentially - be a devastating impact sub.
Agree with those who don't see it as a big deal.
He came back which on its own was a great moment.
On top of that he actually did pretty well and gave us a few moments that ended up the only highlights of the season.
He was only ever going to be here for 2 years so it's not like he's left way before we expected.
I enjoyed it while it lasted and now hopefully we can end this period of OAP strikers and get a lad about to enter his prime.

Agree.
bringing back Welbeck will be much better to the team overall than playing CR7 every minute no matter what.
Why not sell him to Chelsea? He’ll cause and have plenty of problems there, too…
Because they already Mbappe, Messi and Neymar?
Would be very hard to find a suitor for Neymar too with his astronomical wage, and guarantee having few months off every year being injured/partying/spending time with sister,.

Common sense be dammed come on psg would be hilarious to see him added to that group
Goldbridge being a thunderc*nt aside.
Ronaldo signed up for the club because we agreed to his stupid wage demands and had CL football. If those things weren't in place he wouldn't have come. He could very simply at the end of the season said he wanted to leave for CL football, I would be have been fine with that, but instead he waited until the week before the tour, and sowed some seeds amongst friendly journalists that it's about the club's ambitions. Like hell it is. He's wiping his feet on the club on the way out, screw him.
I think his priority is not only scoring a few goals in CL, and also winning some major domestic trophy during last final years of his career.
Hence only Bayern or PSG would be his ideal place to go. Plus we won't sell him to our PL rivals anyway, so no chance he will go to Chelsea.
But unless PSG could sell Neymar, I don't see there is a place for him at all there.
So only option left is Bayern, he has to take a wage cut going there for sure. I am not against this at all, as it would means Lewandowski leaving Bayern for Barca, which would means FDJ leaving Barca for us.
Totally agree and get their new inexperienced owner to stump up £50M
Are they saying the club concluded CR7 caused the divide in dressing room before Jan?
The full video? I couldn't stomach more than 3 minsI just saw the video of him doing just this
“Ronaldo loves United” Yeah right, feck off Mark. He’s a footballing Patrick Bateman.
I watched about 15 seconds mate
It could certainly expedite the process but I think they're probably forced to sell him anyway, at least if they want to register any of their new shiny toys.
Well...let's say that Chelsea under Tuchel have had a striker problem (it's complicated, but - yes - they've had a striker problem rather than a central midfield problem, say).
And let's further say that this problem was solved by buying Cristiano Ronaldo.
If that happened, I would call it...a bit of a surprise? Somewhat unexpected? A tad beyond what you'd anticipate?
Or just plain shocking?
We just need Messi as Paul Allen to make a banger remake.I just saw the video of him doing just this

Goldbridge is an absolute fartknocker.
That would be him admitting he's out of his depth, it won't happen.
Yes, that sounds good.
But - again - hasn't Bayern pretty much ruled this out?
I mean - officially (or rather publicly - as in a statement to the media).
Pretty sure Salihamidzic said explicitly that they aren't buying Ronnie (the other day, I mean - after his supposed intention to leave United was made public).
The funniest thing about this is that Ronaldo requesting to leave is going to have the opposite effect of what he wanted.
He was beloved at Man Utd and he has shattered his own legacy by moving away. If he thinks this move will help him to edge out Messi as the GOAT then he has it completely backwards. The polls were about 50/50 before this move, and were tilting toward CR7 since he continued producing in the PL and Messi is falling off in the farmers league.
Now, every Man Utd fan will be team Messi. Man Utd are the biggest, most widely-supported club in the world. Every poll from this moment forward will massively skew toward Messi being the GOAT. In his quest to assure his position at the top, he has sabotaged his legacy.
No club will sign his name now. No clubs fans will vote for him as their GOAT.
May as well sign for Barcelona now, so absolutely nobody remembers you fondly or has any affinity for you Ronnie. The Real fans might whistle at you marginally more than they did when you played for them.

Chelsea badly needs a goalscorer, and even if he doesn't press and may cause some tactical problems there, he would be a big upgrade from Lukaku for sure....i am not sure its worth all the risk of letting him go there, as they would be one of our major rivals of finishing top 4 above us..
You never know. Of course with his wage demand its impossible for Bayern going for him. But what if they are losing Lewandowski and couldn't find any good replacement this summer, and what if Ronaldo willing to lower his wage demand. It would be no brainer move for them, as a short term stop gap solution until they could get someone like Nkunku next summer.
None of these reasons resonate with me. For instance, if he were to go to Chelsea, he would still be 38 and the "his presence is disruptive" myth would be dispelled if a top CL team were to buy him.
Shaw could've just said Ronnie wants CL football, full stop, and left it at that.

Pretty sure he won't be going to Chelsea. Couldn't imagine United sanctioning a move to them unless it's for silly money or a good swap deal.
More likely they'll let him leave for a foreign club

There’s very little risk in letting him go there. He will cause problems at Chelsea. Nevermind him being ”a goalscorer”: over the last 4 years that’s come at a cost elsewhere for both Juventus and United. United challenging Chelsea for top 4 would be a bonus because, as it stands, your only really challenging Tottenham and Arsenal for top 4. I’d see Ronaldo going to Chelsea as the beginning of the end for Tuchel.
I guess we're going to have to roll Fergie out for this one again?
One more year Cristiano. Then we let you go anywhere you want. Deja Vu.
