Looking at some of the posts here, i can finally see why Ronaldo’s instagram has 338M followers. That’s absolutely insane
Can we please not turn this into a Messi v Ronaldo thread? We have a whole separate one for that.As United fans I think we should be supporting our own. We are very lucky to have had the one of the greatest players of all time Ronny play for us and in the Premier League. Not just once but twice!
you HAVE to be fair and give Ronaldo some carrot and credit here. If he succeeds at United and delivers major trophy he will end the GOAT debate once and for all. He's taking a massive risk coming to United in the most physically Demanding League in the World at 36 years old where most players are either retired or the legs go just like that (Remember that game we and they knew Gary Neville and Roy Keane was finished? It can just happen just like that!). Messi isn't taking a big risk in comparison going to play in the farmers league in France where he can be rested in loads of games for the CL.
Coming back to United at 36 years old and winning the Premier League/CL bringing success to United for a second time after the club not winning any major trophies for almost 10 years is the stuff of legends/dreams people will Be talking about for years and years telling the grandkids about ala Maradona at Napoli. Its statue worthy stuff.
I actually would have feared for the safety and the mental well-being of a ton of our supposed fans if Ronaldo ended up signing for City.This thread has already gone to the dogs
If he does well
“greatest player of all time, absolutely no doubt about it. Not up for debate anymore”
if he doesn’t
“greatest player of all time who took a huge risk coming here but everyone else let him down”

He’s probably at home eating 5,000 calories of walnuts as we speak.Ronnie's first real test
That's the thing. I am not being emotional. My initial post came in response to someone who questioned why we're paying 15m in installments through time. I replied that we did that because we can. Juve were desperate to sell and we capitalized on that desperation. Shitty are oil rich but they wanted to take them to cleaners far more then we did. Then someone flipped things on its head by stating that I am being emotional when its really not the case.You guys are far too emotionally invested it’s just business nothing to do with doing the dirty or being friends

Didn’t even know Cavani’s brother played for usCavanis brother of all people has confirmed he is staying
He’s gonna score plenty of goals here. That’s good enough for me. Are we going to win the league or CL? probably not but I have decent money on us to cause an upset.I guess you haven’t picked a side…
If Ronaldo won the League and UCL at a club that hasn’t won either in nearly a decade, you don’t think that would enhance his reputation?He’s gonna score plenty of goals here. That’s good enough for me. Are we going to win the league or CL? probably not but I have decent money on us to cause an upset.
Yes, as it should. As good as he’s been I don’t think he’s coming here winning anything on his own though. The team was generally going in the right direction either way.If Ronaldo won the League and UCL at a club that hasn’t won either in nearly a decade, you don’t think that would enhance his reputation?
He should get a statue if they do!If Ronaldo won the League and UCL at a club that hasn’t won either in nearly a decade, you don’t think that would enhance his reputation?
I hope you don't hate your newbie tag though .Swedish newspapers asking Lindelöf (on PK before our game vs Greece) "what do you think about playing with a player being accused of rape?" (Ronaldo)
God I hate my feminist bullshit country sometimes...
Crazy question to ask him really, especially before a game!Swedish newspapers asking Lindelöf (on PK before our game vs Greece) "what do you think about playing with a player being accused of rape?" (Ronaldo)

seriously everything is a soap opera with devilishYou guys are far too emotionally invested it’s just business nothing to do with doing the dirty or being friends
"It's hard for me to sit here on the podium and answer a question like that" basically said nothing about it.Crazy question to ask him really, especially before a game!
How did Lindelof even respond to that?
Wow, what a terrible thing to ask.Swedish newspapers asking Lindelöf (on PK before our game vs Greece) "what do you think about playing with a player being accused of rape?" (Ronaldo)
God I hate my feminist bullshit country sometimes...
so his biggest test wasn’t leaving Madeira without family to go to sporting? Or coming to United as a youte? Or going to the handkerchief bandits with a record price tag? It’s coming to United at the tail end of his career?
United is a washed up club in terms of trophies/highest honours. If he wins with us, it’s another feather in his cap. If he doesn’t, hardly anyone will mark it against Ronaldo for not winning with a club that hasn’t really done much since 2013 at the tail end of his career. It’s a romantic endeavour, that could pay off in many ways for United, but hardly anything career or legacy defining. Ronaldo is certified out here. Again, I doubt he’s nervous about going out there and kicking ball.
Not really, when he joined Madrid as the most expensive player at the age of 24, surely that was the biggest test of his career.
Now he has nothing to prove to anyone.
I think that those Champions League finals when they said he wouldn't do it in such games or Euro 2016 final were bigger tests.
You really have some odd hate for Ronaldo don't you? From being the most active member in the miss thread, to here.This thread has already gone to the dogs

You continue to be incredibly salty over Ronaldo for some reason.He’s probably at home eating 5,000 calories of walnuts as we speak.

ThisI thought I was excited, but the bed wetting worshipping and just general hysteria is flabbergasting.
No different than equation with martial and cavani as well tbhI’m cautiously optimistic about Ronaldo but I worry about who will do the running on his behalf while defending.
Eh? Which version of Cavani have you been watching?No different than equation with martial and cavani as well tbh
It's the Ronaldo way. Piss them off. Score more goals. Miss them off more. Score even more goals and the cycle goes on.You continue to be incredibly salty over Ronaldo for some reason.
Hopefully he does fantastic for us and hurts you even more.
Cavani is great at pressing but he's not much of a defender.Eh? Which version of Cavani have you been watching?
Martial I tend to agree but Cavani? Perhaps not the right example.No different than equation with martial and cavani as well tbh
OK what is bullshit about Sweden?Facepalm
Feminist bullshit country
The country is "bullshit"
Not the Feminist....
No idea! Born in UK, live in CyprusOK what is bullshit about Sweden?
I mean not everything in the world is about Ronaldo. You can post in other threads and about different things just FYIWhat do you mean? Of course we have good players but so did Napoli/Argentina with Maradona have other good players and so did Brazil with Pele. And same when Barca won everything with Messi and United with Ronaldo in his first spell they all had other good players. Didn't stop Maradona and Pele becoming 2 of the greatest of all time. All I'm saying is you can't suddenly start saying that a group of players who haven't won a major trophy for almost 10 years are now the main reason and not Ronaldo coming back if we win the league/CL. That would be disingenuous and agenda driven to try to discredit his impact it wouldn't be fair. Of course the other players deserve credit too but let's not pretend Ronaldo wouldn't be the main reason.
Do you think Brazil and Argentina fans was saying stuff like "there's other good players too" when Brazil and Argentina was winning stuff with Pele and Maradona and the media was highlighting Pele and Maradona as the main reason. Of course not.
let the poster then reply and clarify what he posted. Unless you are the same guy with a different username?No idea! Born in UK, live in Cyprus
