take this with a pitch of salt.. it is Neil 'FATMAN' Custis but doesn't Neil Ashton who use to work at The Sun now work at Old Trafford? Maybe he has sources?

Seriously. Do you think Ronny is getting nervous ahead of his debut? I know he's a confident lad but surely been away from the Premier League for 12 years must make him a bit nervous no matter who you are? Wanting to be as good as the Ronaldo we last saw at Old Trafford he doesn't want to disappoint anyone or let anyone down.. he doesn't want to tarnish his legacy and he knows expectations are high.. it's very risky from him and brave
I read he will start training tomorrow. You reckon he can remember the way to drive to the training ground!? He should do

Ronaldo has more champions league titles than most clubs, including United, under his belt. He has 5 ballon d’or and is holder of a ridiculous amount of records. The guy has lived with being one of the most famous faces in the world and every aspect of his life and performances being scrutinised for years. I very much doubt he’s getting nervous about going out there and kicking ball.
It doesn't matter this is his biggest test yet in his career imo. He will be nervous be he won't be crippled by it. I think players like him probably feed off of it and add live for this moment
Ronnies first real test!
seriously though I think for top players it kidna has to be like that. Keep resting themselves if they can make their next goal.He returned to England early to be ready for Newcastle would be very surprised if he doesn't start!
so his biggest test wasn’t leaving Madeira without family to go to sporting? Or coming to United as a youte? Or going to the handkerchief bandits with a record price tag? It’s coming to United at the tail end of his career?United is a washed up club in terms of trophies/highest honours. If he wins with us, it’s another feather in his cap. If he doesn’t, hardly anyone will mark it against Ronaldo for not winning with a club that hasn’t really done much since 2013 at the tail end of his career. It’s a romantic endeavour, that could pay off in many ways for United, but hardly anything career or legacy defining. Ronaldo is certified out here. Again, I doubt he’s nervous about going out there and kicking ball.

Some of you are underestimating this move by Ronaldo late in his career. This is the moment of his career that could decide the Messi vs. Ronaldo debate once and for all. Messi went to a shit league. Nothing he does domestically in that country will have any meaning. If he does not win the CL for PSG he will be a huge failure and will be a joke. He will be known as the player who benefited playing under the umbrella of a perfect system in Barcelona, on a team that had Xavi and Iniesta. If Ronaldo succeeds in United, he will down as the greatest of all time. Every goal he scores for United will have weight. Every trophy he wins will be that much bigger. Having the guts to finish his career in the toughest and most competitive league in the world is something to be admired. Trust me, if Messi doesn't go to PSG, Ronaldo would not have pushed a move the EPL. Believe me, Ronaldo will be nervous on Saturday, but he will use those nerves to his favor.
I think that those Champions League finals when they said he wouldn't do it in such games or Euro 2016 final were bigger tests.
It’s got nothing to do with our relationship with Juventus and you know it
No I don't know it. Every club tries to take another to the cleaners if it can. I am glad that united had finally caught up to this. We had been mugged long enough
Completely forgot about the first two
Considering that they are still here then that's bad
I may be exaggerating but if he wins the league with us nobody cant say he isnt the best in the world.
Anyway I'm usually nervous the whole week but this week I'm double or triple nervous, as if I'll be playing.
I expect him to start from the bench and the moment he steps in it will be absolutely electric. Hopefully I'll be able to find a decent stream.

Not really, when he joined Madrid as the most expensive player at the age of 24, surely that was the biggest test of his career.
Now he has nothing to prove to anyone.

If at 36yrs old Ronaldo came back to the PL, helped United win a title or a CL, then for me that would completely destroy the GOAT argument. Messi has gone to the French League where he’d be expected to get 40, 50 goals, Ronaldo has gone back to what is considered the most physically demanding league in the world.
If he comes back and shows he can still destroy PL defences then there would no longer be an argument in my mind.
Absolutely. I must admit I was always leaning towards Messi but his performances in CL knock outs last few years coupled with Ronaldo possibly winning the PL would settle the argument once and for all at least if you ask me.
He's 100% starting, just doom mongering from The Sun.
I don't think he'll play the full 90 though, we need to give Cavani more minutes to get up to scratch.
Cashflow management, every bit helps.
Not sure about that. Ronaldo will play from start to finish in most games.
There's no reason for leaving him on the bench, he must start and that's it.

He doesn’t know anything and has based it purely on the fact that he’s had to isolate. The next game is Young Boys away. No way are we giving him his return in an overseas away fixture. I don’t know if he’ll start, but he’ll play on Saturday. It’s Ronaldo for fecks sake.
Ole brought Varane out on to the pitch before the Leeds game, to get the crowd up. As if he’d deflate the entire OT atmosphere on Saturday by not naming Ronaldo in the squad.
Wait, only one training session ? He arrived Manchester last Thursday, and can start training with the team this Wednesday. What it this bs about him only getting one training session ?
Why has he had to isolate? he's apparently double jabbed and came in from Portugal, which means he doesn't have any isolation.
This is the kind of out of control hyperbole that that ruins debates.
More realistically, Messi will win the CL with PSG and Ronaldo won’t win a big pot with us. But let’s see how the season goes.
“Life is good, but it can be better”
Ronaldo HAS to start. Just made him my new FPL captain. Please Ole…
Also to all the people saying he’s been terrible at Freekicks last few years for Juve (not that I disagree). But I bet he’ll go on to score from his first FK for us now - don’t ya just know it!

That’s some really strong stuff you’ve been smoking.
As United fans I think we should be supporting our own. We are very lucky to have had the one of the greatest players of all time Ronny play for us and in the Premier League. Not just once but twice!
you HAVE to be fair and give Ronaldo some carrot and credit here. If he succeeds at United and delivers major trophy he will end the GOAT debate once and for all. He's taking a massive risk coming to United in the most physically Demanding League in the World at 36 years old where most players are either retired or the legs go just like that (Remember that game we and they knew Gary Neville and Roy Keane was finished? It can just happen just like that!). Messi isn't taking a big risk in comparison going to play in the farmers league in France where he can be rested in loads of games for the CL.
Coming back to United at 36 years old and winning the Premier League/CL bringing success to United for a second time after the club not winning any major trophies for almost 10 years is the stuff of legends/dreams people will Be talking about for years and years telling the grandkids about ala Maradona at Napoli. Its statue worthy stuff.

Did you know there's other players at Utd as well?
It’s got nothing to do with our relationship with Juventus though. Not everything is a soap opera, dev.
What do you mean? Of course we have good players but so did Napoli/Argentina with Maradona have other good players and so did Brazil with Pele. And same when Barca won everything with Messi and United with Ronaldo in his first spell they all had other good players. Didn't stop Maradona and Pele becoming 2 of the greatest of all time. All I'm saying is you can't suddenly start saying that a group of players who haven't won a major trophy for almost 10 years are now the main reason and not Ronaldo coming back if we win the league/CL. That would be disingenuous and agenda driven to try to discredit his impact it wouldn't be fair. Of course the other players deserve credit too but let's not pretend Ronaldo wouldn't be the main reason.
Do you think Brazil and Argentina fans was saying stuff like "there's other good players too" when Brazil and Argentina was winning stuff with Pele and Maradona and the media was highlighting Pele and Maradona as the main reason. Of course not.

I thought I was excited, but the bed wetting worshipping and just general hysteria is flabbergasting.
It's about capitalizing on a club's weakness for our own benefit. It's that simple. However as said on my initial post, Juve is not friend of ours. We're not talking about a club like Ajax or Sporting Lisbon here who had always treated us fairly and would therefore be beneficial for us to maintain a healthy relationship with them. Juventus has a reputation of playing dirty and poach other club's players on a free. They did that with us as well with Pogba and are now busy undermining Ronaldo's effectiveness and professionalism
I know you're a big fan but this post is a bit silly.
You guys are far too emotionally invested it’s just business nothing to do with doing the dirty or being friends
