For me, you simply don't join our closest rivals. Whether it's Law, Schmeichel, Ince, Tevez, Andy Cole, whoever...even Hughes managing City wasn't right.
Cristiano Ronaldo | Signs for United! Fcuk City
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Them being more than significant now is the difference. Anyway I don't know why so many fans are still so invested in him since he doesn't care one bit about United. So if anything most people should feel insignificant about the whole thing.
Schmeichel going there wasn't right though and it is a stain in his career United wise.
He didn't relegate us ffs. You don't get relegated based on one game. We was is that position because we were obviously shit and deserved relegated.
I sincerely hope it doesn't happen. The thought of him in their kit and sprinting towards ten fans after scoring is horrendous. However, I don't think it tarnishes his legacy at United if he does end up going there, Denis Law, one of our club icons, played for them too. So did Peter Schmeichel. That's football.
Obviously from a perspective of how devastating he would be for them, I hope it doesn't materialise. Lukaku would have to wave goodbye to the golden boot for one thing. They'd also run Paris Globetrotters very close in the Champions League.

It was fine for Law to join you after having played for Man City though?
Id obviously prefer this didnt happen, but part of me thinks there is a real chance it could upset the entire City squad. If I knew for sure I say bring it on. It would be hilarious to see Ronaldo and City fail
That’s like saying Aguero’s goal didn’t win city the title….because they won other games previous!
Law played for City before he played for us
ah its grand if they join Utd from said rival
If KDB wants to come to Utd i'd welcome him with open arms
Yep. Just as it was fine for Giggsy and Sancho to join us. Not bothered about other clubs' philosophies. Once you've played here, it's a different story.
See my other post. Sancho was at City longer than Law was (before joining us), by the way. Maybe the Huddersfield fans are more pissed than us? Who knows. As I say, I'm more concerned with what happens during and after our club.
It's not though. As you've shown, many great Man United servants played for your rivals.
That "different story" only exists in your mind, not in reality.
The idea that Denis Law should be thought any less of because (after you released him on a free transfer!) he returned to a club he previously played for, is utterly bonkers.
I'm sure City will sign Lewandowski anyway and Ronaldo will either stay in Juvenile or go to PSG
Time to see what's on the other channels of inter-dimensional TV.
United would still have been relegated regardless of Law's goal though. That goal never mattered
Well, that's your opinion (as a Chelsea fan, no less). But mine is as stated.
Sincerely hope this doesn't happen but it definitely will.
We are going to receive an enormous amount of banter from everyone for this - so many ABU's were scarred to an unreal level by United, SAF, Ronaldo during their formative years.

Sancho literally wasn't given a chance by City.
Ronaldo won 3 league titles, a CL, a World Club Cup, an FA Cup, 2 League Cups, World Player Of The Year, Balon D’Or, 2 PL Player Of The Year, European Golden Boot and a PL Golden Boot all in 6 seasons and was the main man for one of our most successful periods ever in the clubs history so I’d say he’s a club legend even it’s not the same level as Charlton, Best, Law and Cantona.
Yeah, it's essentially City or PSG (if they sell Mbappe) who could "afford" him and who could have a space for him in their starting XI (debatable with PSG without compromising the balance of the team). Those are his options if he still wants to be competitive (knowing Ronaldo, that goes without saying).
feck this guy. He’s dead to me.
Bound to fail for sure. De Bruyne, Ronaldo, Grealish, Sterling, Bernardo Silva, Mahrez, Foden… I just don’t see where the goals will come from.
Aye, those annual quotes around the time of those wage negotiations have even been brought up in this thread as evidence of his love for us
. I have no doubt he feels affection for SAF and the club, but not enough for the club to prevent him from joining City IMO.@Schmeichel's Cartwheel
Obviously for him it might be the next best situation, but it's not his ONLY option.
He could literally play anywhere he wants - but he obviously still wants to win and and earn huge money and only a handful of clubs can offer him that.
If he'd rather take personal joy over millions of fans that idolised him, then that shows what sort of guy he really is IMO.
I'm slowly coming around to the idea because of how hilarious it would be to see Ronaldo pulling out his hair in frustration as Sterling runs into another defender.
And I'm delighted about it.
Surely the whole world of football needs him to go to PSG so we can see Cristiano and Messi finally link up?
The fanboys will still love him. They'll find a way to convince themselves it's ok to carry on doing it.
I wouldn't be against that idea. "MRN"
Ronaldo would have to play CF though and I pity the work that midfield behind them needs to put in
Actually, PSG's best bet if they sell Mbappe to Madrid, would be to buy Pogba as the third attacker. That would balance their team better.
oh 100%. You've already seen the mindset of some on here that will literally cheer him scoring for City.
You just know Ronaldo will score against us and celebrate wildly too. He didn't hold back when he scored at Juve so it's clear whatever connection he had at united is dead to him now.
On account of the fact he is contracted to Utd currently, yes he is ours and he gave us something last season we will miss when he is gone. I don’t understand the logic in giving that away, doesn’t mean I don’t want Ronaldo too. Pay the £25m and get him here to play with Cavani.
I'll always love what he did in a utd shirt. Best player to grace the English game playing for the club I support and winning everything, including the Ballon D'or, 3 league titles in a row and a PL/CL double. No Chelsea player has ever come close to that.
oh I thought you said playing under pep at city. Sorry wires got crossed, my bad.
But what a team they would be...in theory, anyway. And so a chain reaction all starts with Mbappé:I wouldn't be against that idea. "MRN"

Mbappé - Madrid
Cristiano - PSG
Martial - Juve
Pogba - PSG
Rice - United (VDB moves to AM)
Would you swap CR7 for Martial. A less than prime CR7 could be better than how Martial has performed?
I’m another note, why aren’t we actually in for him? Would make so much sense.
