I supported Eric and he did some silly things - But did I stop following United when he hung up his boots, do I like Ronaldo Yep no question do I go dilly on what he said no some of it needed to be addressed and by a player like Ronaldo maybe things will get better who knows. He has seen the lack of movement since Sir Alex left amongst other things.Well from what he said to me in a reply he's been a United fan since before Ronaldo joined.......oh what to believe?!
Cristiano Ronaldo: Set to leave by mutual agreement

feck me! Are people actually getting duped by Ronaldo speaking out against the Glazers ?
Every man and his dog has known the situation about the Glazers for years now. But he is getting credit for speaking out about it now ? Did he not realise what they were when he was here first time around or when he decided to return? It’s honestly the most flimsy of arguments this.
if he had have rejected us last summer and made it public it was cos of the ownership then yeah he would have got a lot of respect out of that. But he didn’t and the issues were well known.
The Glazers don’t give one feck about United. We all know it.
Spoiler alert - Neither does Ronaldo.

Come on guys, he's on a huge wum, dont feed him.
It's got to the point where I feel sorry for him now. He has all that talent, fame and money but he does not seem happy within his life (we never know the real person but I can only judge on what he gives out). Of course a massive tragedy with his child but even aside of that.... he seems to lack contenment.
He says he has charisma... that I dont agree with. I think he comes across as quite boring off the pitch with no ability to gel with teammates, have a laugh crack a joke etc.
I and probably all on this forum will never know what it feels like to be under that spotlight for so long, but it appears to have had bad side affects on him.

So... Where do Ronaldo fans go from here? Do they start hating the club and ETH? Sure they're a bizarre lot but it's interesting.
This is the worst propaganda shit I’ve ever read
Are you protection the Glazers or the old boys club (SAF, Robson..)?Ole never wanted Ronaldo. We can blaim him for not having the guts to stand up against the system (like Klopp, Pep, Arteta would’ve done), but to say Ole was the driving force…
We all know Ole was a nodding doll.Just because he said Glazers=bad, Ole=good doesn't give him the right to publicly undermine the manager and most of the players. You have to remember this is not really an interview. Ronaldo has basically asked Piers Morgan for a platform and format where he could blame everyone else for his own decline. Imagine doing an "interview" and not being confronted with his actions vs Spurs etc? It's a joke. The club should terminate his contract immediately.
Bet if he had brought him on in the City game and they had scored more goals, him coming on might have motivated them to keep the pressure on, he would have said ETH had humiliated him.
Is there an edited version with no Piers Morgan? I cannot bring myself to watch that slime, I mean the Ronaldo thing is cringey enough but add that toejam into the mix, it is like an inverse sh!t sandwich with no filling
You do realise most of it was Piers Morgan talking.
Not only that, ETH didnt sub him to save his ego apparently.
Yeh I'm done replying to him now, there's no reasoning with someone who's as brainwashed as that.
So he posted articles, but your arguments are Ole never wanted him and apparently 'we all know' Ole was a nodding doll.This is the worst propaganda shit I’ve ever read

Where does that come from?
He knows there is no way back for him at United now. Wonder what will come out tonight. I have always said he is arrogant, but I am beginning to think there is actually a lot of insecurity there. Someone else mentioned him needing praise and affirmation all the time. The obsession with his looks, his body.
It’s not as bizarre as you think. Clearly there are the fanboys and even ex-player pundits who are prepared to defend him at all costs (it’s almost Trumpian in its hilarity). Many of these people will turn on United and ETH for sure.
Indeed. He's certainly not that innocent fresh faced kid who made his debut against Bolton. This bloke is the footballing version of Homelander, one made his name at Real.
Yes. From January onwards it will be brutal I think. They'll wait for every chance, even the smallest to jump on ETH.
Wonder how he'll get on after he eventually retires. He'll try to be in a spotlight but more he'll be out of it or people will ignore him he'll come out worse and worse.
Trust me bro.com
The only club that would even consider having Ronaldo in their squad right now, with all the crazy baggage, is... Manchester United.
They will. But that's the game. Fanhood changed years ago. These players have more following than most clubs do.
Given the timing of the interview release, has Ronaldo said what he said so that a) the club can wake up and be successful with him continuing in the team; or b) the club no choice but to let him leave?
I guess I am leaning heavily to b). Because a) really seems unlikely given he wanted the interview broadcast after he was away at the World Cup. Not exactly searching for opportunities to have constructive dialogue.
Nice attempt to kid the fans Ronnie. You can fool some, but not all

Oh yeah.
This kind of fame and success would probably do this to 90% of the people. The other 9% would probably kill themselves and then you have the 1% who would remain normal in all of that.
You kind of have to have this facade in order to function properly.
Anonimity is priceless and they know that.
But yes, i agree, even without all that he still looks quite boring and bland.
Narcissist tend to do that.
Hopefully he’s sacked by tomorrow evening
Ronaldo or Piers Morgan?
Do you think Ronaldo should start most games?
I would not sack the prick. That is exactly what he wants, hence the interview. Would remove him to reserve team in January, no first and reserve team training or playing, give him reserve team wages, if it is possible, according to the law, if not, just fine him 2 weeks wages every month until his contract is over. Oh, and kick one plus year, let him rot until Summer of 2024.
you are telling me that if he'd said that and then joined City people on here wouldn't have gone balistic and called him a traitor...
His camp started it in January and it was linked to his potential wage cut and presence in the CL. Also what kind of nonsense is that, the club hired one of the most wanted upcoming manager and backed him with a bunch of big transfers.
Are you ok with him disrespecting the current manager? Even if you agree or ignore absolutely everything else he’s said that alone is enough to never play for the club again.
He's not good looking. Sure, he's got a great body, but as far as looks goes he's more greasy looking than good looking.
I think it autocorrects to clut and you need to spell it properly...
He's being a traitor now anyway. That was the only reason we signed him to stop him going to City. Any other club and we wouldn't have batted an eyelid. Would he get the same money 'upfront' from City, how would he have reacted to a young buck like Haaland being signed this season?
I much prefer Varane. Now that is a good looking man.
Don't think the interview was that bad, to be honest. At least this part. What he said about the club being stuck in the past is 100% true. Even mentioned David Gill there, which surprised me. Same for the mentality and attitude of the younger players. Good to hear someone of his profile actually talk about these things.
Disagreed about the part with Rangnick. Kind of hard to get anything done when your first thought is "Who is this guy? I don't care, he is beneath me". I'm sure this influenced the rest of the squad and that pretty much sealed Ralf's fate.
Skipped the part about his family, not really interested in that.

I don't think that he's speaking about Ronaldo's punishment but more about sacking the player. Such decision can't be taken by the manager alone as it will cost money and would involve at least the legal team.
What I'd like to know is, where do they go once Ronaldo retires? My guess is they'll follow Mbappe or Haaland blindly.
