Not all of this is Ben's own info; he's taken this from various Spanish reports, but this is a good summary of his current situation.

Sources close to Cristiano Ronaldo confirm they've never ever heard of Ben Jacobs.

This is hilarious. Hope EtH realises we’re a much more fluid team without him and he puts him on the bench.

If he thinks the “burden of output” will be solely on him under Ten Hag then he clearly needs to learn about the style of play that our new manager wants to enforce.

Phahaha, Ronaldo not wanting the "burden of output" to be entirely on him is absolutely hilarious. The guy is literally only useful as a poacher these days.

What do you think will happen with him Maz?
He has barely any options; I don't see him leaving this summer as a result unless one of PSG or Atletico Madrid suddenly decide to pay up for him. I was about to suggest City as well, but United will never sell Ronaldo to them. I wouldn't be surprised if he sticks around for the first few months then starts shopping himself around after the World Cup to other CL teams.

Should we do a barca and offer Ronaldo a choice of a 30% pay cut or playing in the reserves for the rest of his career

Most of Old Trafford were chanting "Feck off Pogba" for a lot less. Did that bother you as much?
I go to OT regularly and I've never heard that. The odd bit of stick, 100%. Sustained chanting or abuse? Nope.

He also hasn't won us multiple titles and a champions league.

I'm no Ronaldo fan boy BTW.

Hang on....you never saw/heard the "Feck off Pogba" chants when he was subbed off against Norwich last season?

I didn't go to that one to be fair :lol:.

You can have that rightfully if that's the case.

If you've got MUTV, play the match back and listen to when Pogba got subbed. He wasn't the worst player but yeah it was fashionable to just target him towards the end.

Surely this is part of the reason we brought in Ten Hag?

Obviously we need new players but also to improve and reinvigorate what we have.
Definelty but you hope that's on top of reinforcements. I wouldn't be surprised to see Martial and Rashford have good seasons, I really hope they do.

But if they/one of them doesnt!?

I can hazard a guess, Martial, Rashford and Sancho's seasons all depend on the presence of one man, or more like the absence of one man.

In all seriousness if Ronaldo's here next season we're fecked.

This is also what ETH highlighted in his press conference. It's easy to see why Ragnick is no longer associated with United, Ralf had his own judgement about the players that clearly ETH had no interest in.

I think this has been a good decision because the players have to prove their worth, they've been given a new start to establish themselves to the manager.

Incredible that we're going to risk our season on a massive flop. Let's hope it pays off eh.
I said this earlier on in the summer, but if Martial has a good season we should get rid of him whilst he's in his purple patch, he's way to unpredictable to rely on long term.

Just hope PSG or Newcastle get interested if he scores 20+ goals.

Not good news at all. So players get to decide whether they want to stay or not? Are we running an effin BnB? And Martial for one more season? Kill me already.

Most of these players are on their 3rd, 4th or 5th chance. How many chances are we going to give these players? We need quicker player turnover to get anywhere near City and Liverpool.

Signing 3 average players whilst losing 6 we most definitely have gone backwards this summer.

Have we signed 3 average players on top of Martinez, Eriksen and Malacia? I must have missed something because I think they are great additions to our team. The problem is just that we need a few more additions, not that those 3 are average.

You can't force playsrs out. Just let them know they won't play and leave the rest up to them to bring offers.
