yeah okay
Surely he won’t go? He’s always said that he would never join any of our rivals, why would he go back on his word? If he moves then it’s purely for money, why ruin your legacy and what you have with united fans. He’s already won everything there is to win so I don’t think going to city is purely based on trophies. We should be all over this and making him rejoin us, the team that made him who he his today should be the team he retires with.
Did I want us to resign him? Nope. Am I then going to complain about him joining City? Nope. Frankly, I´m not fuzzed at all. Guardiola will find out soon enough that Ronaldo is passed it, and then he´ll have to deal with the problem of having a super-ego on the bench. So in sum, Ronaldo to City plays to our advantage.
Dafaq? Just cause you’re a rival doesn’t mean you can’t talk to them. That’s just ridiculous. Some of these lads grew up together and played together even as teenagers.
Depends on how you define legend.
For me, a club legend is someone who:
- Is first and foremost associated with that one club.
- Spent their best years at that club.
- Does have a genuine affection for the club.
Point 3 is often hard to judge, of course, but Ronaldo falls well short of both 1 and 2. He's a Real Madrid legend as far as I'm concerned. United was a springboard for him, nothing more.
And yes, Cantona is a United legend because I believe he ticks all those boxes. Maybe 3 not so much any more but who knows. Definitely 1 and 2 though.
What is loyalty in the face of greed and fame?
feck him, he is a snake who doesn’t care for United.
The outcry here . Ronaldo has always been a glory hunter. I loved him when he played for us. Ever since he moved to Real, I never bothered about him . So I really don't care even if joins City. He fecked off to Real when we were top of the world. Do you really think he loves the club? Naa. It has always been a one sided romantic love story.
And he won't fit that City . Messi or Kane would have been that perfect missing piece for CL but CR7 isn't. On the contrary, he would have been a perfect fit for us .
Good luck playing high press with this guy !!

So he can say he won the CL with 3 different teams?
this is a classic
not a legend to me. Left 12 years ago to play the peak of his career at another club. Couldnt really care about him, yesterdays man by a long wayyou don't understand why fans won't like it if a club legend signs for our rivals
yeah okay
Hey, I was just trying to make those guys feel better. I personally don't give a shite
He's bigger than man United? Holy shite
With out even getting into the obvious nonsense of that post, the day he starts generating 600mil a year alone for the rest of his life, while maintaining a loyal fan base worldwide who never leave,........then he is never going to be bigger than the club, without even touching on the football pitch emotion aspect of it all.
People need to Wise up
It isn’t for money. He is earning good money at Juventus. It’s actually his legacy is what his move is for. He wants to win as much as Messi. City is the best chance to do that.
He’ll be dead to me if he goes to them cnuts.
+1
Yet still managed to deliver a 1/3 of our total European Cup hall. Beggars really shouldn't be choosing.
yeah fair enough
but for a large section of our fanbase he's a legend, surely you can get why they'd be pissed?
You can't have old Messi and Ronaldo in the same team.
In the United legends list, he’s now behind David Bellion, Darren Gibson and Tyler Blackett
We're fecking morons if we don't try to match City's offer and offload Martial so we can afford it.
He never was a club legend. He's a football legend that played for our club.you don't understand why fans won't like it if a club legend signs for our rivals
yeah okay
Yeah feel exactly the same way
Just cause he has more social media followers than us on Instagram doesn’t mean a player is bigger than the club. Get a grip!
Ronaldo's legend status here is way overstated. Of course, he was amazing and exciting when he played for us, but in the end he didn't want to be here and spent his best years with another club.
If he moves to Man City, I would be annoyed because they are getting a legend of the sport and a great goal scorer - not because Ronaldo once played for Man Utd.

Honestly, and I take no joy in this am fecking shocked.
Imagine Cristiano pulling rank on free kicks and hitting the wall every time.
Yup, the next generation of fans would grow up watching them dominate football. Give them another 10 years and they would be a massive club, sadly. Everyone treats Chelsea as a legit club now. The only real threat to their dominance would be another state funded club.
What's worse is that we have spent on par with them for more than half a decade, and have a massive head start with our history. But terrible management has made us end up where we are.
Who is a better footballer than Ronaldo was for us? Best? Charlton? I dont know, but in the last 50 years who was?
When he played against us for RM, he received a warm welcome. I hope fans boo him when we play CIty tbh.

Only need to look at the toy story puppet for proof of what complete morons we are when it comes to transfers
The wall of the stadium up on row Z
They'd spend 90 minutes arguing who is going to take free kicks and pens, then they'd do their best not to pass to each other because neither wants the other one to score more goals than them.
I dont understand the talk about him being a legend at United. He was brought in as a teen and we made him into a superstar, and then he leaves us when he hits his prime.. Can do what ever he want, hes no legend here in my opinion
Of course he will get booed. No question about it.
Best is the only real comparison at United at least.
Goldbridge looking his bananas on "That's football" as we speak.
We're playing hardball trying to sign another midfielder, forget about affording Ronaldo. Offloading Martial won't make up for whatever City are able to offer him. Pretty sure he wouldn't pick us over City right now anyway. His priority is obviously still trophies and he has a better chance at that with City.
We have jumped in recently last minute and signed Sanchez under City's nose and got burnt. I don't think we will risk.
Also, we spent a long time convincing Cavani to stay and then if we just bench him that would be harsh.
Having said that, I would swap Martial for Ronaldo in a heart beat.
Imagine Cristiano ripping his shirt off in the next derby. You're going to need a *good* radiation suit before entering this place here
One curious thing is the stories all seem to indicate a fairly significant pay cut, potentially 50%, is needed to make the deal happen. I cannot imagine Ronaldo agreeing to that unless the deal involves an extension. I could see it being a 2 year deal which would tie in with Pep leaving in 2023 and fits with the win now mentality both have. If that is the case then City may be less inclined to bid for Kane or Haaland next summer and if so then Ronaldo will be an even bigger legend in my eyes.
