You might find work in Ronaldo's PR department. You really are talented.
Agreed also CL hattrick vs Wolfsberg. Also he wasn't signed to be our 1st choice striker - he was a decent option off the bench and nothing more.
It would be amazing if we could offload him to Chelsea, clearly still a good goalscorer but we need so much more than that now.
ETH knew about Ronaldo way before he came in. He also knows Ronaldo is only going to stay for one more season based on his contract. He is capable of using Ronaldo and yet implement a fluid attacking system.
Ronaldo is a potent CF and someone who is capable of dropping deep to receive the ball and run at players, though he cant do it often. ETH can use Ronaldo as a CF to finish the final balls as well as to bring in the inverted wingers through his off the ball movement. Not a very big issue for ETH.
Tell your son to cut out the bullshit
You dont have to worry about ETH regarding this. He will be handling worst when the season starts, such as the inevitable dressing room crisis that the media will use after just one defeat or if the pre season doesnt sound promising. Ronaldo is the least of his worries since he knows he will be leaving this season due to his contract.
Ronaldo and Greenwood aren't so different, in many ways.
Yeah. I’m fully on board with the Arnold/Murtough axis’ good intentions, but rather get the impression that they might be swamped by all the changes that are going on. It’s a real shame that Woodward didn’t leave at the start of the season rather than over half way through.
Arnold in particular has to juggle his desire to sort out the football with his duty to satisfy the Glazer’s monetary cravings. They will presumably be pushing for Ronnie to go on the tour; ETH surely won’t want him anywhere near it.
Our clubs is having a horrible window and our negociation skills are getting worse and worse.
I agree and the biggest fear now is that we can't find any takers.
I can't see Tuchel or Bayern being stupid enough to bite, Barcelona is lining up Lewandowski, Real Madrid has Benzema, PSG has no more room for clowns at the circus. Realistically, it's Italy, Portugal or the MLS.
We know he can't press, he has no appetite to be a bit-part player, moving him on now would be best for everyone and a blessing for Ten Hag. If we're lumbered with him after this tantrum it'll make for an awkward atmosphere and, let's face it, hold back a future he never had any part in.
We absolutely need a forward, but I'd rather go without than be stuck with Ronaldo. Before the 'well, he scored 14 more than anyone else last season and was (fans) player of the year' comments come, we scored more the previous season without him and it's obvious that our current side plays better with mobile forwards.
Time to move on, just hope to God there's a club out there who can take this expensive problem off our hands.
I don't like Ronaldo's behavior but I'm going to draw my line right before "being 100% cynical about the 'family matters' of a man whose child died a few months ago."
He`s a model pro, sets a good example for the rest of the squad to follow. Maybe Martial, Bailly and Jones should not bother with pre season, that would show our young players how to behave.
They also said i am Rashford's PR manager. So which is it?
Anyway my style is to trust in facts rather than media nonsense and i am a supporter of this club. I support the manager and players unless they turn against this club.
I feel the fans here are just using the media articles to fuel their existing agenda against certain players. Ronaldo might still leave but i am not that deluded to suddenly see him as a egoistical traitor just because the media are writing nonsensical articles.
How do you know for a fact that family thing is real if you do know?They also said i am Rashford's PR manager. So which is it?

Even if its real to announce now he's leaving is a dick move, media creating agenda or not.
Also the part about him being very fond of the club is.. Well he doesnt care so much about the club.
Poor guy.... how will he pay his utility bills??
Where's the white text?
Contracts and their stipulations are already known when the player signs. The agent and club will also let the player know when the stipulation gets triggered, which should have happened when we were confirmed to be out of the top 4 places. Unless Ronaldo lives in a different timespace, he wouldnt take so long to be upset.
This is just another baseless article which was written simply because they received information on the pay cuts to various players. It also contradicts the article which says Ronaldo is willing to have a paycut to play for a club in the CL. The stories are changing day by day like a thriller.
There we have it.
It's his "I am feeling sad" moment repeated.
He wants a little raise and his ego pampered, and then he will stay. It's not a big deal, and he did it at Real too.
There's no better option out there for him, Chelsea is very unlikely (Tuchel won't want him and Utd won't want it to happen at all), Bayern is a non-starter, PSG of course would be awesome (Messi and Ronaldo in one team!), but with Mbappé extending and Neymar going nowhere surely all of them is a bit much even for QSG.
I'd be so upset at earning £1m every 3 weeks 
While I do think it's laughable how some here will bend over backwards to create a conspiracy theory (an epidemic in modern society) to defend him (they are creative/ deluded on various topics not just here, check out the Ralf/Inhaler threads) I do agree with this;
So I would give him the benefit of the doubt on that.
At worst there is nothing wrong at home and I've been naive enough to extend some compassion to a person who didn't need/deserve it but Id like to retain a little humanity/ empathy considering the circumstances.
With that being said , If I was a United Fan I wouldn't have wanted him back in the first place (the nostalgia is great but he still thinks he's prime Ronaldo) and I'd be more than happy to get rid now.

I'd be pretty pissed off as well, especially if I'd done all I possibly could and others had downed tools then fecked off at the end of the year.
Should have thought about that before signing a contract.
If the family thing is fake, the club has to take disciplinary action as they are his current paymaster. You will be surprised to know that player contracts are like employee contracts. Employee doesnt turn up for work with valid reasons, disciplinary action is taken.
Second thing is Ronaldo has not announced he wants to leave, neither has his agent. All we hear are media based articles with no confirmation by the club, player or agent. This is the key part as it is possible that it could have stemmed from someone seeing Mendes with Boehly and speculating that it is regarding Ronaldo.
Yes he is fond of the club, which you can see from his interview towards the end of the season. He has a very strong winner's mentality which goes above everything he loves in football, leading to the "egoistical" personality that some fans here hate.
Time for you to apply for the DOF job then.
Well that's the thing about employment contracts. If the terms don't work for you any more, you can just leave.
But I was suggesting it wasn't the pay cut that's the issue, it's the dickheads that caused is what would wind me up.
How can you have a 'horrible window'? Is it played over the weeks? Get's worse until you sign someone? How does it work? Do you win the window if you sign De jong?
Well you dont expect the club to confirm he wants to leave? And if it was fake Ronaldo or Mendes would have long said it officially.
As for interview, which part gave it away? I mean him being so fond of the club?
Sure thing, you can, but club is asked something about it too.
Which in our case is just accept a bid, which would suit all parties involved at this point. The players hold all the power in these situations if they're in demand.
Ronaldo knew he wasn’t re-joining the United, he left all those years back.
The club has been in disarray for about a decade now, so he should have knew, things wouldn’t be plain sailing.
Ronaldo is all about Ronaldo, and I really don’t think he cares about United.
How many times did he pretend over the years, to be interested in moving back to us, just to get a better deal at Madrid?
Personally, I will be delighted when he finally goes.

Thing is, he isnt right now and I dont see us selling to Chelsea for instance.
He won't go to Chelsea, he'll go abroad and take a paycut
A free transfer, on low salary when we were already in decline
I want him to go to a PL rival so people can see him trot our numbers but his team fall apart around him.
There wont be official statements, but the press will normally approach the club for views on this matter, as well as Ronaldo and his agent. The fact that none have spoken can also mean that they are not too bothered to address this news. For all we know, whatever issue Ronaldo had with the club might have been settled but the media is just going on with it.
Regarding his interview, the fact that he wanted to stay and win trophies with the club next season despite knowing we are out of CL was a key indicator. For me, that is good enough.
He wanted to stay, yet he wants out now.
So that means he isnt so fond of the club anymore?
Sorry to make it so simple but there's no logic in the thing you wrote.
This sounds a lot like "I want to watch my mrs shag other men so they catch an STD". You know there's a very good chance Ronaldo isn't the problem and it's got something to do with our entitled bunch of twats instead?
When Ronaldo plays, everything goes to him, good or bad.
There are many factors that can cause someone to leave, regardless of how much they love the club. Our current transfer target FDJ is one such example.
Anyway we can agree to disagree as you have made up your mind about Ronaldo. And there is no confirmation on him wanting to leave, so we cant make judgments until the situation becomes clear.
