Who?
There aren't many about. Especially ones who want to play Europa league next season.
We may have to bite the bullet and promote from within.
Cristiano Ronaldo (I stay)
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Ronaldo is an arrogant, self-boasting, rude prick among many things. Unprofessional sulk is something he is not.
If he stays a couple of years, he’ll make them a bigger team than us off the pitch too.
I haven’t lambasted him but can you really say that as fact? I don’t think you can.
Playing Devil’s advocate, he clearly doesn’t want to come across as a negative figures to us fans so he’s obviously not going to say that he isn’t training with us out of protest.
There’s a place to defend him, but I don’t think statements like above should be made as if they are facts.
Did you miss him getting substituted at Brentford?
EDIT: or flying to Portugal when he was told he wasn’t starting at City?
Nkuku has a 60M Euros release clause
What the feck man, ffs
Ronaldo won’t be allowed to go without a back up plan in play
He was happy with signing Lukaku, he barely presses and unlike Lukaku, Ronaldo actually can finish.
There's verifiable reports he flew off to Portugal when he was dropped for the City game.
If we are selling him to Chelsea, we should try to ask for Armando Broja as part of the deal
I am hoping for a Kante swap
First of all, Rio is a moron. Second, Ronaldo isn't showing up because he wants to leave, that's his move. It's not his first time.
You'd hope.
However. What's worse? An unhappy Ronaldo in the dressing room or Ronaldo gone with no replacement, but a happy dressing room..
Selfish player. Soon to be 38. Would be a massive mistake going into the season with him leading the line. He did give us some great moments last year but the dressing room harmony went to crap. We didn’t need him last year and with a new striker (hopefully) we don’t need him again.
He was looking good for Southampton for the first half of the season and gave a good account of himself against us. Didn't follow much for the last part of the season, but I remember on Talksport they were saying Chelsea have been taken back by the speed in which he has progressed - something they thought would take a couple more years. I certainly wouldn't be against it, there's a lot to work with. But I doubt Chelsea would be keen.
Kante wouldn't do it.
Shocking at how United fans are egging Ronaldo to leave, that too to Chelsea. He was coming good toward the end of the season.
When you look at the "Replacements thread" and names like Yedder and Vardy and Bellotti are being mentioned...we're in trouble.
Rashford, Elanga and Martial are now set to be regular starters.
Instead of egging a player on to leave, maybe one should introspect as to how awful a state we're in right now.

Release clause starts next summer.
There are 7 months left before he turns 38.
This is just like a stag do I was on, the stag said he needed his phone back and had to ring home to check on an ill family member, just ended up calling his missus for an hour.
Didn't buy it then, not buying it now.
You think we should keep an unhappy player, especially when that player is as influential as Ronaldo is?
Na. Get him gone, and gone fast.
This isn't the same Ronaldo that left in 09. He's the same selfish player, but is nowhere near the level he was in 09.
Aye, 38. Doesn’t run, doesn’t track back. Needs the ball to feet. We play him then we are going to face a lot of the same problems we faced last season. Don’t let a few good performances towards the end change that. His goals were memorable. His performances however were painfully average most weeks.
His ego is probably higher now than it was then while he's half the player.
The delusions within the United fan base are something else, has to be said.
I think we should understand WHY he is unhappy and then to rectify the situation.
And we aren't rectifying the situation.
We're heading into next season with McFred, as it stands, Maguire as CB, AWB as our #1 RB, Elanga as our RW and Martial as our CF.
I just responded to the part where you say he's turning 38 soon. He is not even half way through 37.
Oh, suppose not, but even than if we are looking to playing better football we can’t be relying on someone that’s near the end and you could definitely see the physical side of the league catching up with him last season.
Oh, he's a good one took bru his injury history is of concern though.
I've been reading reports that Tuchel isn't taking him on the pre-season tour for some reason, so the kid wants out and Chelsea are looking for ~25mill as a fee to sell him
Where is this coming from?? People actually think Tuchel wouldnt want him
His wages are the only issue, most big clubs would want him, especially a strikerless chelsea. He will bang in at least as manygoals as last season, probably a lot more and might well carry them to the title.He's unhappy because we didn't get into the Champions League and his ego is too big to play in the Europa. His fear of being caught by Messi has scared the life out of him.
That's it. That's the only reason.
He knew who the owners were before he joined.
I just don't get it. Chelsea aren't likely to pull up any trees next season. What would be the fecking point of burning your legacy at United for that?
Chelsea are far behind City and Liverpool. Ronaldo signing won’t carry them to anything. Maybe a league cup?Where is this coming from?? People actually think Tuchel wouldnt want him
Don’t see any other clubs queuing up.
I would love to sell him to the dippers for two reasons:
1. He would set the rot in from within
2. Blind fanbois need to have their eyes opened and have a reality check

Tuchel doesn't want him by all reports. Boehly is heavily pushing for him and he seems like another Woodward.
He wants to extend his CL goal record by any means possible.
If Liverpool/City wanted him, he'd ditch United in an instant too.
He doesn't care about this club.
Could you expand, sorry?
Still don’t see United seeming to Chelsea
Also find it odd some people would be happy for that to happen

I agree (although every fan base, including your own, has such people within it)
