He’s trying to rob the club of 16m. He wanted us to pay for him to play in champs league over the summer and now provoking us to payup his contract whilst he walks away to somewhere he can be wooden without being subbed.
Cristiano Ronaldo: Set to leave by mutual agreement

I made that point several time recently. And to me that's the most telling, his total record is pure stat padding.
I don’t think you really know the meaning of the phrase “stat padding.”
Almost all of Ronaldo’s goals were game winning or game tying goals. He seldom scored when United were up comfortably (did we even have any games like this last season?).
He always either scored the opener, the goal to tie the game or the winner.
Sure, he scored in a small proportion of games but you could attribute that to how poorly functional the rest of the team was. He had to work with scraps for the majority of the season. I’m not saying he wasn’t genuinely bad himself in periods but he wasn’t helped by the team either.
It’s funny how Maguire could be excused for how diabolical he was last season (with Ronaldo hilariously shouldering the blame from some people) but as soon as someone uses the same logic for Ronaldo (who genuinely had great games unlike Maguire) all hell breaks loose.
Except that Maguire is not being excused, Maguire has been rightfully dropped and no one is defending Maguire and asking for Maguire to start. Maguire himself is also not doing interviews about him being 'disrespected' because his name isn't on the team sheet despite his terrible performances.
Also the 'Had to work with scraps' part really doesn't hold up when you realise only Salah and Mane had a higher xG than Ronaldo last season. So other than Salah and Mane if Ronaldo was feeding of scraps, so was every other player in the league.
It’s never a good time to say anything pro-Fred on here, sadly.
I think you’re right though, and certainly most of my regular United-watching friends would agree. Which makes the majority of his performances this season all the more disappointing.
I'm seeing a lot of pro - Ronaldo posts from you unfortunately. Are you Team Piers?
He is providing "balance"
Oh that's what he calls it? No "balance" required.
It doesn’t matter what he’s done. What matters is how crap he’s become.
You'd think all the oppo fans backing him after that interview would be happy to see their clubs take him off our hands. Disingenuous twats.
Exactly. It seems that the only argument from anyone pro-Ronaldo is that he is a legend and should be treated differently to any other footballer. It’s utter nonsense and makes zero sense, especially for a team trying to climb back up the ladder.
Now that's a shock.
Amazing how so many don't seem to understand this.
Yeah.... may I announce that my little village hometown club won't sign him either?
Dayum, I always knew his stats last season were extremely flattering when compared to the eye test. But when you break it down like that, it’s very flattering to say the least.
Perfect Hofmann replacement for Karlsruhe, not going to lie
So a Bayern no, Madrid no, Roma no…. did I jump in a DeLorean and go back 5 months?
Any news on whether or not they're in for Titus Bramble?
Not sure what's sadder to watch. Clubs around Europe turning Ronaldo down or his fanboys on here desperately defending the indefensible.
Oh no Cristiano will be back
Help us Obi-Wan Keboehly, you’re our only hope.This time United also saying no
Boehly is our only hope
He needs to take one of those big money offers tbh. Enjoy the rest of his playing days earning a shit load of cash and an easy ride in a shit league.
Yes, in a nutshell. Hopefully United have a tight legal case against him and I`d be surprised if going on national tv to tear apart your manager and criticise/attack your current club is not a sackable offence in a United player`s contract.
You're right. I stand corrected. SOrry to @Leftback99 and @Remember the geese for misinformation.
2-0 with 3 minutes to go is still a lot to play for. Like that '99. Anyway, insulting or not, he still get paid to do the job and should just do it as a professional.
Fantastic post putting it up in Spanish
You are just trying to set up a trap which doesn’t even exist
no, I’m really not. You are literally incapable of being objective on anything related to Cristiano Ronaldo. No tricks or traps here.
Don’t be vague, about what exactly?
My whole point is about Ronaldo being biggest name/influence on the internet, would means our club would avoiding making a big fuss out of contract situation and would seek quick agreement on contract termination without compensation, as we don’t want all the unwanted distraction from the internet which might happened if we let this thing drag too long.
Judging from several responses from others on my original post, everyone seems to understand this point except you, who is still arguing on whether Ronaldo is biggest name/influence on internet instead, and completely missed the whole point I am trying to make.
The oppo fans know that he's done and of course wouldn't mind him staying at Old Trafford. You've just got die hard fans of his who don't.
They should be careful. They are no match for our right wing Hindutva mentalists.
Absolutely. His overall play, combination with the team and contribution to cohesiveness was poor then too, barring a few exceptions.
That he tagged Cristiano is all I got from that. Thanks.
I’m #CR7OUT so don’t get me wrong, but stats have to understood in context. Fine, Ronaldo scored his 18 PL goals in only 4 matches or whatever is alleged here and thus is subject to severe criticism, but how many goals did Rashford, Martial and Sancho score…combined? I’m pretty sure it was less than 18.
So instead of arguing that Ronaldo was our best outfield player last season, which some people refuse to acknowledge, can we at least agree that Ronaldo was our least shite player last season?
He's going to tell Piers
