He is 36, but I have seen a lot of people call him 38. How long before he is 40?

Mistyped were as ''where". He needs to install grammarly
Where gonna win the league

In 2 weeks.
Wow, glass half empty?
Juve : £105m, £500k/week, big club in Italy, younger Ronaldo, basic marketing
Us : c£20m, £385k/week, known worldwide (and Asia will make a ton), older Ronaldo, our marketing.
I think we’ll do fine…
Watch what Lukaku added to inter last season in his overall gameplay, compared to Ronaldo. People look at the end stats and he's Ronaldo still scored, but Juve basically played with 10 men when they were out of possession. That's, why they didn't, win the league despite the fact they clearly had the best squad.
Look Ronaldo is still danger around the box especially in the air, but anyone who thinks we are getting anything near Prime Ronaldo is deluding themselves.
38 by the end of the contract
I'd be astounded if work isn't going on behind the scenes to get this game on TV, whether that's a possibility at this stage I have no idea. One things for sure, it won't prevent a full old trafford at 3pm. It may dissuade fans from going to other games though!
" Sir Alex this one is for you"
Well... I'm crying I swear to God.
Well... I'm crying I swear to God.
Juventus did not have the best squad last season.
Blaming Ronaldo for their awful incomings and coaching carousel while he was at the club is simply unfair.
No one is expecting 23 year old Ronaldo. But he's still in incredible physical condition and scores goals.
They didn't win the league because they have declined and Pirlo wasn't very good. Trying to blame Ronaldo for their failure is funny considering their recent results without him and they even have a better manager now.
There’s just something in my eyes, hayfever or something…
The mental gymnastics
Who has even said we are getting prime Ronaldo though? Has anyone?
So what did Lukaku add to Inters over all gameplay then? Tell us.
And are you trying to directly attributes Ronaldo to the fact that Juve didn't win the league?!
I'm sorry but you've no idea at all.
So having Ronaldo is like playing with 10 men?
The last line is the one that got me
Sorry but Ronaldo is and always will be a better player than Lukaku. In fact I’d bet that at 50 Ronaldo will still be better than prime Lukaku. Some people haven’t got a clue!
Thank god! I was under the impression he was 182 years old by the media.
Yeah he only scored the 29 goals for them in the league. Five more than £90M+ Lukaku but it's Ronaldo that's the problem and nothing to do with their declining squad and poor manager they had last season...So having Ronaldo is like playing with 10 men?
Not really, we've committed to paying a 38year the second-highest wage ever given 2 a premier league player. It isn't just the fact he is 36 now it's the fact he is old for a footballer now and we have agreed to pay him a massive wage past when most footballers are retired.The mental gymnastics
That last sentene. I didn't expect to get misty eyed before lunch
Not sure if you've noticed but Ronaldo clearly isn't most footballers.
when the opposition has the ball yes it is.So having Ronaldo is like playing with 10 men?
He’s a commercial monster, it will make perfect sense financially. Expect us to sign some massive sponsorship deals off the back of this.
Me neither.
He’s still in the top 10 players in the world, possibly higher. You are massively underrating his current ability still.
of course not, but he isnt going to be player worth 385k a week when he is 38.
I’m hype for him & all, but are we going to create any chances for him with our bagel formation?
It's Ronaldo.
He's not most footballers. Ibrahimovic came here at 35 and was successful with a much worse team + manager who overplayed him until he tore his ACL.
He's not coming here to cash in checks and go out for walks in rainy Manchester.
He wants to win.
That is bold. What a fecking winner. Probably the best mentality in the history of sports.
Hopefully we start playing much better, because that performance vs Wolves won't cut it if it's recurring.
Ronaldo is most players though is he? Even though he's not in his prime a 36 year old Ronaldo is still better than todays Lukaku.
No probably not. Hopefully we improve after the international break. We certainly have the personnel to give him chances but I can see a good few quiet games where he gets blamed like all Utd strikers currently.
Do you not think Greenwood might benefit just a little bit from playing understudy to the greatest striker not just of this generation, but of any generation? We were all happy that Cavani would teach the youngsters a thing or two, and Cristiano is on a different planet to that.
You are right this is not Ronaldo at his best. That player would be the best player in the league by a country mile. The player we just bought is top 2 or 3, and the kind of character who turns draws against the likes of Southampton into wins. That's worth its weight in gold to any team.
I wouldn't be so quick to write him off in 2 years. The man is still as fit as a 24 year old so he'll only really be 26.
4m likes in 40 minutes!! (astonishing!!!)
Considering flying over for the Newcastle game but I doubt anyone would lend me their season ticket.
Ronaldo is literally Ernest Hemingway. Show some appreciation for his many talents.
Rounding off his top level career with a PL trophy or a CL win with Manchester United, he's probably more motivated than he's been in his entire career.
Great to see him reference SAF, watched the Amazon Prime documentary last night and really hits home how he's almost a surrogate father to so many players.
United’s marketing team and Ronaldo is a match made in $$$ heaven.
