Depends on the cost and the length of the contract. I’d definitely be happy to have him back but not on half a million a week for 4 years.
Cristiano Ronaldo | Signs for United! Fcuk City

We can't let him come and hurt Martial's feelings.
I was so against signing him back but he is just so good. I would almost guarantee that he’d out score any Martial season even now.
it’d worry me if we did plump on signing him back but fecking hell, he’s brilliant!!!

It's Edi who he's going to take the 7 from
Giggs at 40 was a very different player but still very good at what was asked of him. The fact that he was still playing at the top level at that age is the important part. Players with pace tend to burn out quickly so being able to adapt his game and still be valuable was special.
The rest of your post is interesting but seems far fetched.
Agreed. Its got to be something a bit more reasonable given his age.
Scored a penalty and a tap in today. I suppose he'd be a decent signing.
He’s absolutely worth having, proved it time and time again. Bring him home Woody!
you know it is not going to be reasonable
He was very Hungary today
Sarcasm ?
I mean, he was pretty much invisible for 88 minutes, apart from comically missing a sitter in the first half.
Sadly I think he’d give ole the run around sulking
I mean, we literally have Juve fan here saying he wouldn't mind seeing their best scorer go elsewhere because it's not reasonable to build the team around him at his age, but yet United fans are still all over him at any price, with so many other problems all around the team.
In no way was that a tap-in let’s be fair.
Well if invisibility is what got him to where he is then I hope more players aim to be as "invisible" as he is on the pitch. I don't get why players are constantly being judged based on one performance.
He isn't Juve's problem and you're smart enough to know that.
A minority of United fans.
I couldn't care less, I hardly watch Juve. I am just repeating what person who watches them regulary says. There's also the fact that Juve have never been worse since Ronaldo went there after they've built the team around him.
Yeah, fair enough. I forgot to add Ronaldo fans.
His Euro record is a great achievement but lets not pretend he has scored them all against Germany, France, Italy, England, Spain or Belgium. His goals have came against low ranking nations excluding his 3 against the Netherlands.
Greece x1
Netherlands x3
Czech Republic x2
Wales x1
Hungary x4

Who cares what some random individual thinks. You analyze the merits of a Ronaldo transfer on our situation, not Juve's.
Many sane United fans said the same. Even Real Madrid didn't offer him big money few years ago, nor any other team except Juve who were stupid enough, it's not just one random individual. We'll see next year, but many of us said Juve are making the wrong move two years ago, while standardd Ronaldo crowd laughed at us, and look who turned out to be right.
Only United will be stupid enough to offer him big money and long contract next year, other option is something like MLS, no serious team in Europe will offer him what he wants, because everyone has realised by now that one player is not more important than other ten.
Thats the spirit lad.
He's still one of the best players in the world (we have no one of his calibre on the books at the moment). Juve's lack of success probably doesn't have anything to do with the guy who scored 101 goals for them in three seasons.
Maybe they should instead evaluate why they brought in mediocre players in various other positions like Arse/Chelsea rejects Szczesny, Ramsey, and Morata, why they kept an underperforming Dybala on the books for so long, spent so much on players like De Ligt et al. The arguments that Juve haven't won because they have one of the best players in the world on their roster are simply naive and don't take into consideration other moves Juve could've taken to build a proper world class squad.

Can we afford to get him AND also get signings in other areas in midfield and defense?
Thank you lad
They had even bigger rejects before when they were winning Scudettoo and playing CL finals. They had Mandzukic, Dani Alves, Khedira, Barzagli, that same Dybala, in CL final two years before Ronaldo came there, plus few other average player all around.
They never had even close proper world class squad and they were still better team than they are now, same as we don't have anyhwere near world class squad now, and just signing Ronaldo to solve our all problems is really not the way forward.
I don't really want to argue if he is one of the best players in the world or not, just for comparision I like Messi far more than Ronaldo and even though he is in even better form in last half a year or so, I don't want him to come here either for ridiculous money on long term contract because it will mean we haven't learn a thing from previous years.
To sum up, you said it yourself, just replace Juventus with United, and those few players with our few underperforming players and ask yourself if we have good enough squad to sacrifice our build up around Ronaldo?
Yeah my heart always ends up ruling my head on this one even though it's madness
Maybe they also should not have gotten Pirlo and stuck with him for so long, their last two manager choices have been poor
Head: No
Heart: No
Muppet:...Maybe.

Don't fight it man. We are all driven first and foremost by our inner muppet. Relax and let it envelop you with electricity.
I'm a huge Ronaldo fan but I think moving to United is not a right move for him as well as United. We are a young team playing a certain style of football. Getting Ronaldo would mean setting up the team to get the best out of him. Ronaldo is already a legend at United and a second spell ending poorly will only tarnish his image.
PSG would be the ideal team for him. He could easily score 100 goals for them over 3-4 seasons. He could be the only player to ever do it in 4 different leagues. He will also win multiple domestic league titles and cups. He will be guaranteed CL football as well. It depends on what PSG have in mind. A front three of Ronaldo, Mbappe and Neymar would be tempting for them.

Will never understand the "come home" yada yada. He's 36 and gave his best years to Real Madrid. He's still a good player but come on.. move on
Barca is getting worse by building a team around Messi in recent years, so he is their problem and they should dump him too? Weird logic.
Actually I agree with this. Best move for Ronaldo at this stage of his career is moving to PSG. Chances to score many more goals, break new records, keep winning trophies, conquer new league and chances of CL glory. Truth is he had nothing more to prove in PL, already been there done it all. Moving to France in his retiring years would be best option for him.
Juve needed a complete rebuild, but they bought Ronaldo when he became the ultimate poacher.
The ultimate poacher would do quite well for United. I'd definitely be all for it. Can have:
Ronaldo
Rashford Bruno Sancho
Midfield whatever
Shaw Maguire Meh AWB
Whoever
And rotate Cavani and Greenwood in. Problem would be the front 3 really does very little defensively, but Sancho helps loads with build up and creativity to balance out Rashford and Ronaldo. Would have to be a very hard working and defensively sound midfield duo though.Rashford Bruno Sancho
Midfield whatever
Shaw Maguire Meh AWB
Whoever
Yeah. It was definitely tied for a bit. Then Ronaldo won 4 CL titles in 5 years and the Euros in that span. In terms of the highest peak, that'll go to Messi for 2012 especially. Insane. He's the GOAT in terms of peak level, as he was basically perfect as both a scorer and creator. In terms of career, Ronaldo wins.
Our team is better than Juve's by quite a margin IMO, so we wouldn't be building the team around him.
On decent wages, I'd take him back. Doubt he wants to return though.

Chills. Literally chills watching that video.
