We need to develop some financial levers.
Signed a new deal
This was inevitable when the club failed to qualify for the Champions League - he wants to win silverware and we haven't really been relevant for nearly 10 years. In a way, I'm surprised that it has taken this long for the stories to emerge.
The problem we will have is finding a buyer who is willing to pay the money it would cost to get him - there are only a few clubs in the world who would be willing to part with the wages necessary. If he does indeed go, you'd think that Chelsea, PSG, Juve and Bayern would be the most likely destinations.

That's not right. We lost the final to Barca that year. Won it the year before.
players leave clubs, yes
Juventus really played that free flowing football without him last year.
I wasn't happy with Ronaldo during the previous season. This is good news. We can get an alternative striker.
Swap for Neymar?
It's a Ronaldo thread genius
And Bruno. 3 are still at the club. I'm sure our 80 mill signing last season can chip in with Masons total.
Madrid have also struggled for goals since Ronaldo's left haven't they ? I'm sure it's just a coincidence that a certain unrated number 9 that Ronaldo carried had the seasons of his life when Ronaldo left?
I'm sure Madrid will be doing everything in their power to bring him back to lead the line.
This forum has more Ronaldo fans than United fans.
We survived without him when he left in his prime we sure as hell will survive without this washed up version.
He was never going to play in the Europa League even at 37. Still a legend and I don’t mind him leaving as long as it’s not to another PL club that simply cannot happen. Hope the board are willing to provide extra funds to sign a striker replacement otherwise we’re fecked.
would be great to be honest
Why didn't he fecking say this in May the wanker
Folks saying this is positive...
It's only positive if we have a realistic incoming replacement.
Who is it?
If you look around Europe there's a ridiculous shortage of suitable forwards for us to take.

Honestly what CL club has a chance
Real /PSG / Chelsea would move for him thats it.
And even then I am unsure on the foreign ones. Really hope Chelsea dont make a move, and hope he isnt selfish enough to consider them.

"This is for you, Sir Alex" 
We signed a striker on deadline day last season that wasn’t suitable too, so nothing new there
Would be an utter disaster!
I won't express what I think of him here.. incredible people are even posting this.
I think Milan are a dark horse
It's when and how you leave. He said he felt like a prisoner last time.
Very few leave a club (their PR people say the love) twice.
Get rid. It's really quite simple. The guy is toxic
There's no way United sell him to Chelsea. No way. The reputational damage would be awful.
And Juventus?
Why do people keep saying Juventus? He caused a lot of issues and left them hung to dry. They tried to shift him TWICE.
Bayern, Milan or PSG.
I don't think Bayern go for him, personally. PSG? Mbappe would love it, Messi and Neymar? Not so much + would take them a step back. It's Milan for me.

Ah OK, but the point remains, two finals, one victory.
That's not really the point... we would need more than just Rashford and Martial. Antony is not enough either.
We'd need a proper CF.
The options are very limited.
I was just thinking the same.
Does loyalty even exist the game anymore??
The more I think about it the better I feel if he left as it eliminates a potential problem for the new manager feeling pressured to play someone who is too old or unsuited to his style of play.
This pre-season is already beginning to feel like a bonfire of the vanities. Maybe it really is best to burn it all down and rebuild from the ashes.
It's a bit of a kick in the teeth for you when two of the hottest forward prospects have gone to your two biggest rivals this summer.
If Milan have sense they won't touch him.
It is when he could have come out with this fecking 6 weeks ago
He is staying. No top club will take him
Players who don't buy in should leave, and when they do its positive.
He has to go abroad ie. PSG or RM or stay put.
Behave. This cult-like following is absurd. United are bigger than this guy and always will be. We've had players just as big and just as good as this guy play for this club. He'll leave, and we'll move on. Simpe as that.
So he wants out again? Well, that's new.
We have two issues:
Finding a buyer and ,more importantly, finding someone capable of replacing his goals.

Bayern will if they sell Lewandowski
Ibra maybe done. Out long term at least
This is really terrible, we needed one or even two forwards before this news, absolutely leaves us up shit creek.
Wouldn’t be surprised if De Jong has second thoughts now as well.

Madrid didn't want the 5 years ago version of Ronaldo you must be on something special if you think they'll go anywhere near this version.
