Why would he be meeting with the glazers ?
Well done Paddy
2014 but still.....

Possibly think if they get this deal done it could go along way with the fans..........
I'd take Ronaldo though.
Sometimes things are best left as the incredible, almost perfect memories we had from first time round.
This is definitely one of those.

My head totally agrees with you but my heart due to who he is would love to see him again, yes I know he isn't the dominant force of a few years ago but still think he could bring something to this team
I don't disagree. But at the bare minimum, he would be a sure thing to get double goal figures. Any striker we can have giving us 20 or 30+ goals per season we should take
Although obviously our attack already has a good thing going on and a massive high profile signing could take away that to some extent
It wouldn't be extra to the goals we already have most likely.
We'd also have a circus of who takes the pens, number 7, and lose a bit of workrate from the front.
It'd probably cost about 400k a week too, and most importantly, he probably doesn't want to come back!
I have a sneaky feeling we will sign him this summer. He’s an absolute beast still and will play into his 40’s. He may be 37 but he probably has a body of a 27 year old, minus the explosive pace. But he doesn’t really need it anymore.
We sign him we win the league next season.
Feel like it could only realistically happen IF we could move some big earners off the wage bill and they will be very hard to shift
I don't think we have to, to be honest. Our wage structure isn't breaking at the seams and I think we could definitely put a package together and still get Sancho and a CB.
No
He wouldn’t. The account is a total speculative spoofer who shouldn’t be given the attention it gets.
Sure man. For whatever it's worth, it wouldn't be worse than gambling on Di Maria or Sanchez.
It's strange that people were desperate for them to come here but aren't more hopeful on this one.
We wouldn't because he isn't good enough to take us from 2nd spot to champions.
Ronaldo is 36 and hasn't played here for about a decade now.
Di Maria was at his peak, and Sanchez, we thought at least, was similar.
Both could/should have given us 4-5 years of top quality action.
Bringing a 36 1/2 year old Ronaldo back into this pace of league, with the memories of how he was the best when we had him last time, just seems fraught with danger for the money involved.
I can understand from where you're coming from. Well, it will either happen or it won't. There would be reasons to be happy and skeptical regardless.
Yeah we could've used this guy tonight. 
Question we need to ask. Would a 36/37yr old Ronaldo be more of an attacking threat than our current forwards?
I can't personally see how anyone could say he isn't. He would instantly upgrade our front line.

There isn't a PL club he wouldn't start for and would be an upgrade on any attack, including City.
As for a potential transfer for him here, I won't be upset if it happens, but for the amount of wages he would cost we could get 2 - 3 excellent players in.

Ronaldo would have won us the game. No doubt about that.
Yeah the case for him has to grow after that miss from Marcus tonight
I would love to know the names of caftards who argue that Ronaldo wouldn't massively upgrade the front line.
If his wages would create a problem in the dressing room, I get that. But if we're talking about football ability, there's not a lot to debate.
IF only we could clear DDG & Martial's wages off but lets face it no one in their right mind will pay them what we do
My theory with those two, talented footballers without question, is that both wanted out of the club at the beginning of this season. But the wages they're entitled to are a problem in finding another club. But I actually do believe both will be with new clubs when the new season begins.
Like him or not, he scored 12 goals against Villareal in La Liga. I reckon he would bag a few more if he was here tonight
Let
Lets hope so mate. We need the money.
I highly doubt that.
I might be guilty of excessive hope, but Martial and De Gea have been with the club a long time and it seems to me that from their point of view it's time to move on. We know about Dave and his family, but Martial surely must miss life in his native land as well. He had a magnificent second half of the last season, but he seems bored with with Old Trafford, and perhaps frustrated that he's been fulfilled what he believes his potential to be.
To get their wish they'll have to accept lesser wages, but we'll probably have to accept lower fees than what they're worth relative to the potential they reach once again.
I want to believe that but just looking at those huge wages just makes me think neither is going nowhere, then there is the added caveat of our owners apparently loving Tony and having zero intention of ever selling him
When he signed Ibra, we said we should have signed him a couple of years earlier. The same with Cavani.
He is now younger than when he signed Ibra. Let's do it if it's not too expensive. We need some experience along Cavani.
Just imagine Shaw crossing a Ball to the box with Cavani and Ronaldo waiting

Rumours every summer since he left now. Like clockwork. It will never stop will it?
Zero chance Pep would want to work with Ronaldo.
You are likely correct, however was just approaching from a talent standpoint. His age and wages are just on the wrong side of things for me.
I don’t give a damn what any of ye say. We fecking need him. Especially when Kane goes to City.
Do we have anyone in the team with a mentality like Ronaldo's? We need winners, right now there are too few trophies in the dressing room.
Yeah quite frankly after last night we desperately need some more experienced hungry winners in this team
