Why does Manchester United worship Ronaldo more than Real Madrid?

The club, the fans and the managers treat him as a deity for giving us two great seasons in the 8 years he has been here. They treat him like he was an academy lad who spend his whole career and prime at the club singing his name every game.

All they get in return is him treating the club like dirt who doesn't deserve him.

What is all that about?
 
Real Madrid have had more great players and far more success in their history
 
Because it has been an awful decade for United, and looking at Ronaldo winning with Real Madrid and potentially returning was one longing hope.

Same way some people leave toxic relationships and when they end up alone and depressed, they can only think about how great their ex was.
 
Real Madrid spend their revenue on top players. We dont.
 
We've become like Liverpool from a few years ago, living in the past, so to see someone who was great for us 15 years ago back at the club makes some fans feel good. The whole Solskjaer reign was just a nostalgia experience rather than a credible operation, we haven't been a serious football club for a long while.

That may finally be changing under Ten Hag but the damage done by over a decade of mismanagement, not just in terms of the state of the squad but the culture around the club, is going to take a long time to fix. We're talking years of consistently good decision-making now being needed to get us back up there competing with the top teams.
 
Because he was the key man in and was thrilling to watch in our best side of the last 20 years and helped us to only our third CL in our entire history.

It is ok to still enjoy those memories.
 
There's nothing wrong with singing his name, trying to make him feel good and hoping he deliveries but of course he shouldn't be starting every week. That's down to the coaching staff
 
Because when he was here he wasnt doing that antics. When he arrived at Real, he was already the best player in the world and he was acting as a man child like we see now. Real fans probably got fed up with him.

But he's still arguably one of their top 3 players of all time, he used to get booed loudly when he was still there.
 
Living in the past. Care more about short term dopamine burst than long term success.
38 years old Ronaldo and United are made for each others

A lot of delusional people who still think he is in his prime and cant accept that he's already washed out and moves like a feckin robot in the pitch

For me, it's this basically.

The club and the fans are happy to live in their nostalgia period and don't actually believe the club will ever be successful again.

wrong
 
A past it player in a club living in the past.
 
The bigger problem is how we worship our managers. God forbid you criticise whoever is in charge.

Set us back more than most would like to admit.
 
The only United fans worshipping him right now are the blinkered ones tbh. Guy's treated us like shit for a few good months now.

Madrid look to buy the best and build the best teams, they constantly have success.

They're linked with the likes of Bellingham, Mbappe, Endrick right now, United were a whisker away from signing Rabiot.

United scrap to cling to memories of the past, because United haven't been at their peak since 2008 which Ronaldo left the following year.

Whilst we're pissing about with a 37 year old has-been and troublemaker, Real Madrid are worrying about how they bring in the next generational talents so they can win more CL's. The mentality between the clubs is night and day
 
We’re a far more generous fanbase. We take the good with the bad and are loyal to a fault. Real’s fanbase is entitled and absolutely ruthless. They forgive nothing
 
Singing in support of a player during the match is not the same as hero worship. It's just supporting the team. Especially given the Villa fans spent half the game singing about him being a sex offender.

Internet fans criticising match going fans is embarrassing to be honest.
 
Generates clicks and likes, which is more important than football for this club lately.
 
Because United is no longer a top club
 
We are a sentimental bunch. You only have to pop in Berbatov's thread to notice that.

He left in 2009
 
This club lives in the past. Madrid care about the present. That's it.

The fans that still support Ronaldo after everything we've seen this season are beyond me.

I know he left in 2009 after the injury recovery, but my sentence is not great.

I mean we peaked in 2008 as a squad we peaked. 2009 we got battered by Barcelona.

2008 was probably the best collective team SAF had.

Ronaldo left in 2009 but I mean that United fans cling to that era of United with Ronaldo.

Sorry for my poor sentence construction the use of when linked the two my bad.
