Alright, that's fair enough. I just don't know why you're certain he left because he thought Madrid were the bigger club rather than because they were tripling his salary.
He played 6 years for United. Henry left Arsenal for Barcelona and it doesn't stop him from being an Arsenal legend, for example. Why is it so different?
Thierry gave them his best years, really. Ronaldo delayed by one year once he really started moving towards his peak, and then promptly fecked off.
So if he had turned to crap once he joined Madrid, then he'd be a United legend?
Ronaldo played 6 years for United, 292 games. It's not like he was there for just a bit, that's a very long time. Cantona played 185 games as a comparison.
Ronaldo played more games for United than Henry played for Arsenal or Kaka played for Milan and those players are considered legends for their clubs. They left for Barcelona and Madrid too.
Are you sure? Have the idea Henry arrived at the 99/2000 season and left Arsenal maybe on 2007?
Anyway that's not the most important. Sure 6 years are important. But he had 9 with Real Madrid.
He doesn't have the same sort of status like those players I mentioned before. And didn't helped the cause he wanted to leave on his last season. Understandable he can't be consensual to them as Henry is for Arsenal. Tbf I think Cristiano was more exciting to watch for United but those are football tastes. All in all he will be more remembered for Madrid. Great player for United, Legend for Madrid and maybe only another promising one who left Sporting. Nothing wrong with that.
Henry played 373 times for Arsenal, Kaka 307 times for Milan. Not sure where you got this idea.
For both of them these are the clubs where they played the most, not like Ronaldo who played (and won!) a lot more at Real than here.
No one is associating Ronaldo with United anymore, so I'm not gonna associate myself with him.
Wikipedia has the games wrong then, sorry.
Still, Kaka played 6 seasons for Milan, 300 games. Won everything, played great, became a Ballon D'Or winner and left for Real Madrid... he's a Milan legend.
Ronaldo played 6 seasons for United, 300 games. Won more, played better, became a Ballon D'Or winner and left for Real Madrid... he's not a United legend.

If Ronaldo had turned to shit when he joined Madrid, would you consider him a United legend then?

Wikipedia only lists league games, it's a bit silly.
This is actually a good question, I'm not so sure. It would have helped if he wasn't this huge icon of Real Madrid, but it all comes down to everyone's personal opinion what's actually a legend. (It's a completely arbitrary term like world class, so in the end we shouldn't care about it really.)
I didn't have much that sympathy for him when he was here to begin with, just a lot of appreciation for being a damn good player. So I guess that goes against him.
On United case you can put Scholes, Giggs, Neville, to a lesser extent Beckham or Keane. Foreigners like Schmeichel, Cantona or Solskjaer deserve a mention too. On the modern era of course.
At the end of the day if he has the same status as a Nistelrooy or others is to everybody's opinions.
Regardless of celebrating or not, scoring or failing, saying they should have won or lost there is always controversy around him because he sells. Those who like him whitewash, those who don't like it manipulate it to suit their own tastes or agendas.
No, I mean the years when a player tends to peak when I say best years. Whether that worked out or not is beside the point that he honed his trade and gained status with us, then went to Real as soon as he could.
The narcissist can’t even give us this win, despite all of the times he was on the winning side, including Nani’s red card in 2013. Not sure how anyone with their head screwed on properly can genuinely like this guy as a person.
Not believing in fake quotes is a good start.
Saying they played better is not narcisism its only reality. At the end of the day it doesn't matter to the result.
Yes he was very frustrated that his goal wasn't the winning goal. But he's a Juventus player now and I couldn't care how he celebrated or reacted afterwards. It was at home as well not OT.

His goal was excellent. Gave Lindelof no chance, although maybe DDG could have probably got closer to it? That's me being picky, when I saw it live I wasn't even mad.
He was saluting the two women in the crowd.
The camera showed them when he scored.
I think it was his mum and girlfriend or sister.
Because Cristiano is a narcissistic person and it's something you would expect from him. It's not the first time when he is showing off his muscles, is it? I'm pretty sure that he already showed his muscular tight once, whole upper body at least twice and so on.
I don't know who is Patrick Bateman so I can't comment that part. For me it wasn't really a surprise. Just sums him up.
Since I am not a friend of him I don't know why he is doing that, but I can imagine he is really proud of his achievements which includes his body. He is putting himself in the shop window. He wants you to admire him, to talk about him. That's what I get from his celebration.
I never said we didn't deserve to win, we obviously did. I'm saying that Ronaldo's post match comments are absolutely fine. They were much better but that's football & even if we'd battered them, his reputation as a United legend shouldn't be called into question because he thinks his current team is better than the current United team (which is probabky true)
That's the last we'll hear of Viva Ronaldo round OT at least.
How can the first thing that comes to your mind after scoring a goal to be "I must show the abs?!" 
Another masterclass. He's playing better and looks better physically than he has in years.
Finally got his San Siro goal too, must have been the last big european stadium he hadn't scored in.

What happened? Not following.
Sporting kills me.Top Scorer in the league now?
Goal wasnt special but he is playing quite well. Different from the few Madrid games i watched of him. He did some tricks and plays well instead of just finishing.

Goal @FC Ronaldo
Only 1 behind Krzysztof Piatek of Genoa who has 9. It was only a matter of time before he started scoring for them regularly tbh. Freak of a player.
@NieThePiet Still Piatek from Genoa. @Peyroteo forget it already know.
I usually enjoy his showboating but that celebration after a 10 yard finsih was very cringe
@FC Ronaldo SIIIIII! Another goal @Peyroteo
9 goals and 5 assists in 13 games in Serie A, top goalscorer in the league and top of the league. Not a bad start.

He stated it was his dream to play for Real Madrid.
For most of the non-English speaking world it is.
Madrid ARE a bigger club than we are, no matter how good our marketing is. They have that allure that we never, ever will.
They especially were and had it when Cristiano was growing up.

I'm still baffled by this. Imagine being in your 30s and thinking that's a good thing to do anyway. Nevermind in such circumstances.
Another day at the office. No matter what others think, and I sometimes do not like all the exaggeration around him be it for Portugal or at club level, this guy must be a fecking animal on training sessions. Like someone said his mantra must be "train as you play, play as you train".
So , 16 matches = 10 goals and 6 assists
