I for one am shocked that the people of Portugal can see no wrong with anything that man has ever done.

yeah, i can't help but wonder who though, unless he wants the sack and then can pick his own club as a free agent but even then, who would have him? We're looking at a club that
- has a future in the champions league, (unless this is a 6 month contract and a literally 'anywhere but Manchester' get me out of here deal?)
- needs a striker and can afford big wages
- very short-termist in their strategy, want a big player for a short amount of time
- Is prepared to put up with a big ego
Napoli wouldn't touch him, surely.
The existence of literal new buildings and Ronaldo saying that the club actually believed him aren't opinions.
not sure if I've missed it: do we know for sure when the interview was done? I've seen speculation it might have been done last week (you know, when he was "ill"), but not sure there's been any confirmation of that.
Yeah I remember hearing about that but thought he would have something more concrete. Sounded like Napoli wanted us to pay all his wages, which is crazy.
Honestly, I just don't want him getting any money from us or very little. His damaging behaviour should not be rewarded. Where he goes after I couldn't care less.
The Athletic said that it was filmed last week.
Facts are not true stage. Ronaldo is really the donald trump of football. His followers will blindly follow what he says
When he was 'ill'? surely we can at least fine him a couple weeks wages for lying to us?
I hope we fine him for a month of salary for lying about illness and tear his contract without paying him a cent in January.
I could kill someone and they'd still support me. Ronaldo Trump 2022.
The timing!
I think there'll be a market for football memorabilia with NFTs in time but the timing is awful.
He's just selling out to Binance, it makes all his comments laughable when the guy would sell his soul just like he did his image rights.
Do that kind of crap when you retire, sell the image rights to your famous goals and moments fine. But days after you give a toxic interview during your playing career? why.
or plan B, perform some kind of reverse-voodoo ritual to make sure Martial stays fit for a change
Quick, get Pogba on the phone. We need to get a hold of his Witch Doctor.
Making a story out of nothing
Can you read body language and the fact English is not his main language ?
He said
“They didn’t believe me”
Then piers said “they didn’t believe you?”
And he said “they did but..*then he makes a clear facial gesture” before sayijrb”I’m never going to put football over my family health”
From the way he said it and his facial expressions about it it seems they granted him the time off but didn’t think he was telling the truth due to the transfer speculation at the time which they certainly believed was the real reason.
If you just read quotes without watching the interview you can’t see his clear body language when he says “they did but didn’t “ meaning they doubted him
Which he rightfully and correctly should find disrespectful after he literally had just lost a child at the time and now the other was sick.
I get you lot want too be right and he’s the villain right now so he’s automatically wrong. My only issue SO FAR with this interview personably is the timing.
Thank god he’s not like Bidens dumb arse then or he would be really fecked
Sure Piers said on talksport it was done on Friday. Day after told he wasnt in the team
It's on a shit TV channel from a shit Radio station. Both Piers and Ronny are as bad as each other with egos, Morgan ran an anti UTD newspaper when he was editor. This interview must be so long it's on Wednesday and Thursday. Can't be much on that channel otherwise. How low as Piers Morgan dropped, and one of his big Mates is Kevin Pietersen who had a go at Utd for using a pic after ETH dropped Ronny. I wonder who told him to do that suspect of 1 Piers Morgan. They guy is a leeching cockroache of a man . Ronny you've been played son big time and as a UTD fan you've pissed on your chips. No coming back from this follow Morgan out of the door from his job.
So now you try to justify lies with a pseudo science? Dude, he lied just accept it and move on. He also lied about the club training facilities, not only there are two pretty obvious new buildings around the area where he park his cars but the club revamped almost every buildings and every fields between 2009 and 2021, in general United makes changes to it every summer or every other summer.
Your boy is a liar and that's about it.
I know you want him to be lying but that’s not how this works.
“Pseudo science” thank god your not a cop because they would be many wrong convictions
Yes of course it's much preferable to be like Trump over literally anyone else on the planet.
Have I wandered into that leftist debate you were talking about?
The feck he did, botox boy is unable to do that.
The fact that your only issue with this interview is the timing speaks alot about where your allegiance lie.
There are moments in the interview where direct quotes are wrong, what he said about Rooney wasn't a jibe at Rooney at all. He said that he looks better meaning physically at 38 because he's still able to play. I don't think he means visually he means "maybe I look better" meaning that he still plays at the top level.
We do have to remember Ronaldos English is good but he sucks at saying some things because he doesn't get his meaning across.
I do think that the "they didn't believe me" is hearsay though. In a court of law he wouldn't get far with it because United DID give him time, he didn't attend preseason.
I think the "well they did, but they didn't" is complete bull, the club respected him. He didn't even kick a ball. And FYI he left the stadium against Rayo as other squad members did too so he didn't help himself. Ronaldo should know better as he's supposed to be "the model professional".
There's far more wrong with the interview than timing, he comes across as a complete dick in many places. He can't handle he's a washed up striker at this point.
He literally struggles to score from open play.
Also it's worth noting he says he doesn't respect ETH but he's been given plenty of chances, but he hasn't taken them. If that was a youth player they'd be out of the squad immediately, Ronaldo can't offer energy, he can't press. He's just a statue and if he isn't scoring then what's the point? That's literally all he can do for the last 5 years since his dribbling declined now he can't even do that.
Ronaldos largest issue is he can't handle his mortality, and this pissing match to the press won't help him find a club, he will be made a free agent and he'll be taking a huge pay cut begging to find a club.
This guy must be Cristiano because the fact that 2 separate Portuguese men associated with Manchester United are having mental breakdowns at the exact same time is too much of a coincidence.
When someone tells me that there has no change in the facilities while there are literal new buildings that he has used, I call it a lie because that's literally what it is. No amount of body language will change that.
I’m not starting any debate, y’all keep bringing up trump when hilariously their is a worse guy in office
The fact that they talked about Rooney makes me think last week.
Should have know you'd be a trumpet.
It's been said it was last week.
Gotta laugh at people believing ronaldo is trashing everything about man united because he loves the club and fans.
This is the guy that couldn't wait to join madrid and started claiming he was being treated like a slave by the club/fergie, then when he returned he has constantly not bothered to applaud fans at the end of away matches and has once again tried to leave the minute everything wasn't perfect and we didn't get champions league football to help stroke his fragile ego of not wanting anyone to overtake his goals tally.
Look at a player like gerrard that stuck with liverpool through everything, that is a guy that loved his club, not ronaldo

Yeah, you're the objective one on this topic.
Gerrard tried to leave for a domestic rival and had to be intimidated out of it
Why even bother, JP? You're wasting your time.
Gerrard is such poor example.
Narcissists often do the "I care so much about you and I say this for your own good" shit.
What he says is to use some truthful statements about the club which everyone knows, but then he can accuse the club of other things, like "they didn't believe me" when their actions show the contrary, it's gaslighting which is classic behaviour.
He also throws SAF into it saying "even Fergie agrees that..." which is trying to add weight to his opinion, but he hasn't consulted him, but it's also a blanket statement of "the club should be at the top" even Souness would agree with that.
The guy literally is taking a victim role, he can't handle a manager like ETH coming in and showing him he's the worst forward at the club, even Elanga shows more promise right now.
The whole page is
“Cnut” “liar” “narcissist “ “he’s wrong “ and naturally from fans who are upset about a player calling out their club and manager.
That alone makes those views far from objective
Ronaldo is being compared to Trump because of the deluded self-serving narcissist nature of his comments but you obviously can't see what's staring you in the face.
Because I generally like @SportingCP96 but on this topic, he needs to stop being silly. It's not a case of liking or not liking Ronaldo, it's not about him being a villain or a hero. He badly lied.
