You may all be right and I totally wrong, and I respect all your opinions and I hope you respect mine but lets see at the end f the season.
Cristiano Ronaldo - Man Utd Player
- Thread starter RonaldoVII
- Start date

This is just so surreal specially after I had convinced myself that he was going to City. The first home game after the break is going to be special
Viva Ronaldoooooooooooo
Viva Ronaldoooooooooooo
Pogbade Gea, Jones and now Ronaldo are the only players remaining to have played under Fergie
Cavani can share game time, Greenwood can learn, martial can get the drinks… water only pleaseI don't really get people being over the moon with this transfer, bearing in mind our midfield problem.
Nostalgia aside, now we have to shoehorn Bruno, Ronaldo, Pogba and Sanchez into a team with no defensive midfielder or proper cm.
And all the talk about moving to 442 with Fred and MCT in centre midfield
We will be overrun by decent teams. Yes, we well thrash someone on our day but longterm, this is a disaster.
Also, I can't see Cavani, Martial and Greenwood being happy with this signing.
God help us.
ABU's out already
I'm starting to develop a really unhealthy hatred for Souness. Petition to get him off TV!
“Great signing for City. Would hate to be a United fan “
….
“Embarrassing signing for United. City fans must feel relieved”
9am vs 6pm

And get his age correct, he isn't 38.
Totally excited about starting a new FM save now
delighted with him coming back

We're still stuck with that guy?! Blimey.
My only regret about this transfer is that we missed out on pairing him with Messi (on a free transfer) as that would have been befitting to our glorious club.
Before anyone goes off on one here please at least bear this in mind as I am an ex vet.
You don't know what outta order is! I'd show you but I'm too old; I'm too tired; I'm too feckin' blind. If I were the man I was five years ago I'd take a FLAME-THROWER to this place! Outta order. Who the hell you think you're talkin' to? I've been around, you know?

Hate to break it to you but Sanchez left for Inter 2 seasons ago mate.I don't really get people being over the moon with this transfer, bearing in mind our midfield problem.

He is done playing in slow, defensive team, only ranked 3rd league, with little chance of winning CL.
What are you even talking about? Cavani was never playing every week and Greenwood very much still will be. The only thing we’ve done is upgraded our first choose striker from Martial to Ronaldo. I fully expect so see Martial head out now. Cavani goes next year, we sign a younger striker (hopefully Haaland) and Ronaldo takes Cavani’s role. What exactly is the panic here?
Ah the ultimate immediate answer to our striker situation
Let's hope

Get out
No further updates I reckon, he's still in Lisbon waiting for to do his medical?
Don't forget, this is a package deal. United get Christiano Junior as well.
Now I’m scared to break it and that it actually happened
I've heard throwing salt over your shoulder (my gran used to say this) will break it.
(Not sure if it's your left or right shoulder, though).
I cannot believe it. I am so happy. Cannot believe my 14 year old will get to see him play in Red.
He will help us kill off the bottom of the table teams, something we have really struggled with for years.
What a day to be a United fan. Look at the pull we still have with the signings this Summer.

Putting the band back together!
Have my worries, but it's not the time now. Whatever comes of it, this just had to be done and it is such a right way for him to end it here. It brings back memories and good times, while the other scenario was just bleak and miserable.
In a way, it's a statement signing that we are still here in a big way.
I also had my doubts about him signing for us if he had both offers on the table and props to him for joining us because by choosing City he would have a much more dominant team behind him and it would be easier to achieve more trophies. But, he fortunately still went this even knowing that this team blows hot and cold often during the season. Happy to be proven wrong.
Long time no seen, but welcome home. It would be an emotional first game and hopefully the whole season.
Exactly, cheers mate! We will think about hungover, ups and downs later. And if you can't deal with a hungover, don't get pissed in the first place.

As @Jim Beam said its its like getting pissed. You feel fantastic, we'll have regrets in the morning.

I was getting quite depressed in work this morning thinking about Ronaldo in a blue shirt but came home to this superb news.
Viva Ronaldo.
Viva Ronaldo.
There better be no bedding-in bollocks with him.
Instant starter, no 20 minutes here and there to "gain fitness".

If haaland does come then it's phenomenal planning by the management team. Then we will look back in 10 yes time and asked why we never did the DOF malarkey earlier.

Hope Souness will be commentating when CR7 runs around VVD and scores through Allison's legs.

Can’t see Sancho being happy about being called Sanchez either really.
People complain about depth and how we have no one to rotate with or pull off the bench. People complain we have no leaders. People complain about every damn thing.
No, signing Ronaldo doesn’t do much long term but look at all the posts saying how football was dead and there’s no feel good moments anymore. Ronaldo coming back to Old Trafford is huge and raises the mood around the place and the fan base. Sure it might not reach the heights of the last time he was here, but it’s all about enjoying the ride. The fans are back in stadiums and Old Trafford is gonna blow when Ronaldo walks out onto the pitch.
Look how many players have already posted on social media and commented on his return. You really think Greenwood is unhappy that one of the greatest players of all time will be on the training ground for him to learn from? He’s got two of the best strikers in Europe to show him the ropes. Cavani knew he wasn’t going to be a long term solution. And if Martial is bent out of shape…maybe He’ll push on and find some form again. If he was doing what he was supposed to, we wouldn’t be looking for more goal scorers anyway.
He outscored Lukaku last season. Before anyone mentions penalties they both scored six.
I’ll waterboard myself with salt.
Fantastic signing, combining experience with youth is something that Fergie did in the past and it worked out pretty well.
Can't wait our games now
Can't wait our games now
So we can do transfers in a matter of hours
It's actually amazing how quickly this was all done. I still can't quite believe it's true.
how many games do we give him before we turn on him? anything less than a hat trick against newcastle? he’ll already do nothing against wolves.
He’s a serial winner and the ultimate professional. Hopefully that can rub off on the whole squad, seeing one of the all time greats still hungry and 100% professional should raise the bar for everyone.
Only starting?
I'm a patient man but he's gone too far.
Oh yeah! People gonna be unable to talk for a week from screaming so hard. It's going to be incredible.
