He's asking them to down tools when/if the manager is replaced?
Has to be a translation issue, no way he said that.
MEN: Cristiano Ronaldo holding the Manchester United dressing room together as players question Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Poor Cris. Chin up son.
Lot of agents working overtime on PR at the moment.
Obviously
It basically means that a new manager is likely to come in, but that doesn't mean that they should down tools on OGS.
I genuinely might have been duped by the last dregs of optimism I had for the team! My apologies, it seems legit.City tried to sign him in the summer...
This is actually quite funnyI don’t know about you but I was enjoying the relative stability and slow growth while things came together behind the scenes. Since 2013 we’ve panicked and half arsed thrown money at every problem and it seems we’ve reverted to type and done the same here with Ronaldo in a bid to not lose face. Second or third and a deep CL run would have been good enough momentum to keep building upon and add one or two more players and so on... and that’s still very possible but still…
now he’s the only one who can save us. Real Madrid’s greatest ever player! The Ronaldo > United fans must be loving this. We are such a meme. 2 steps forward, 5 back. If you told me at the start of the transfer window we’d end 2021 with Conte and Ronaldo I’d have probably cried and not in the good way. All Oles work undone in 3 months. Ole is his own worst enemy when it comes to squad management and was definitely learning on the job but adding Ronaldo sent expectations through the roof when in reality the team he had been slowly building has been broken trying to fit a player in who is on the way down
It was always going to be a gamble. Let’s just hope for Oles sake it was his own decision because it’s going to cost him his job.
Now we are heading back to the Jose plan. And around and around we go. We’ll find a post Fergie identity… eventually…
The Ole portion was from old game, the Ronaldo part was from Liverpool game and it was quite clear who he is mocking.
Unfortunately I dont see we have built something. Some of the problems which exist now were there last year too. We were being outplayed in many games last year and in many games we were conceding first than coming back into games and so on. All the while there was not any structure or cohesive play but individual quality bailing us out. I must admit I was thinking back then it's all building to something but I was wrong.
Weather its Ole decision or not it doesnt paint him in a good picture either way. If it was his decision that means he bought Ronaldo without the slightest idea how to fit him in. If it wasnt his decision it means he was forced to buy him and that portrays him as a week manager.
Not to mention persisting with the same team week in week out and frozening some players on the bench doesn't help him one bit.
Is it?
is what it
Unless Ole was doing the same gestures right before this then it's just people's opinions that he did this to mock Ole (or anyone). To me it looks more like he's gesturing to the players that they were running all over the place before Salah scores. But hey, maybe I'm wrong. I mean this is a thread about Ronaldo telling the other players to stand behind the manager while he's in the job, so maybe it makes more sense that he's also mocking the manager on the pitch.
What is he doing
Ronaldo is a GOAT, so I am sure he is trying to show something after conceding against the archaic rivals on the home ground. I think he is just mimicking Ole's gestures. Looks funny.What is he doing
Exactly.
The PR machinery is in full flow - both negative and positive.
Don't think it's true, if Ronaldo is required to keep the players together then it means Ole's job is untenable because he's lost the dressing room.
Ronaldo, the next manager
And you, a football supporter who knows how City play and who knows that all City players press and nobody gets guaranteed game time, could be naive enough to believe that comical little rumour that Mendes put out to panic United into agreeing a ludicrous salary?City tried to sign him in the summer...

How laughable is this, Ole needed Woodward, Ferguson and Ronaldo to defend him against the players just to keep his job. A manager who can't even win the players trust by himself and we are letting him continue coaching us.
Well it's clear why you didn't cut it over on Bluemoon, that post is seriously lacking in "rags".And you, a football supporter who knows how City play and who knows that all City players press and nobody gets guaranteed game time, could be naive enough to believe that comical little rumour that Mendes put out to panic United into agreeing a ludicrous salary?

Hooefully Pogba gets that new manager bounce for a few months before he turns on the next fella.
The one legged man that has double the amount of goals as Jesus in PL and CL, so what does that make Jesus, fecking useless that’s what.And you, a football supporter who knows how City play and who knows that all City players press and nobody gets guaranteed game time, could be naive enough to believe that comical little rumour that Mendes put out to panic United into agreeing a ludicrous salary?

Maybe Pep coming out and doing an interview saying some players go where they want isn’t enough for you no?
Good PR for Ronny, more damning for Ole.
It is. Was discussed on the radio on Monday. Saw the video then and it was clear what he was doing. Funny aswell
Was discussed on the radio?
Oh that settles it then.

to make your point. Sorry, this just doesn't cut it I'm afraid.City wanting Ronaldo baffles me personally. He's as far away from Pep's version of striker as you can get. Doesn't press, doesn't share in build up and invisible without scoring. How the feck did Pep want him to lead his team when he favors playing without strikers at all just to keep possession? No striker of Ronaldo's current version has succeeded long term with Pep. It just doesn't make sense and it's absolutely baffling if he was actually interested in Ronaldo leading the line for City.

My blood pressure went up...good thing I scrolled down to see if he's getting any abuse before I replied.I nearly bit too
Fergie coming out for support, then this Ronaldo tweet, all can be so patronizing for Ole, I don't know whether he feels thankful or more insulted.
Our fanbase is a MESS!!!! Half the things I read. I just cannot believe anymore.
He probably didn't really want him. He just didn't want us to have him. He must be having a big old laugh now that he sees we're still in shambles even with him in board.
hopefully ole steps down.
