At this point he'd rather just come out and tell us his side of the story, why wait 2 weeeks
Because the story will change dependent on whether he is still a United player or not.

Bingo. His "truth" will be whatever he and Mendes decide is in his best interests once the transfer window closes. That's why he won't speak until then. Well, not on the record anyway.

I hope Dortmund sign him and give us a small fee on top. £1m, £2.5m...anything really!

Ronaldo to Dortmund. Who could have thought. But it may make sense. Their star striker Haller is treated for cancer and will be out this season. So a motivated Ronaldo in Bundesliga with a lot of support from young players who does the running for him. Could only mean one thing - more goals and more glamour for him.

It seems that Mendes is exclusively offering him, if it's accurate at which point do they understand that there is no natural market for him?

Imagining being stuck with a 500k weekly salary. No one wants you anymore. Must be so incredibly irritating.

Especially knowing your legacy is already written, have everything you ever wished for and nearing your forties. Poor guy, really. Feel sorry for him.

Hes 38 now? His ego needs a reality check. The fact that no CL club is interested in him says something. He needs to massively drop his wages if CL is THAT important to him.

Personally i think he should take a hefty paycut and go to sporting lisbon. He'll get a minimum of 6 x CL games for next three years. So plenty if chances to score goals. Also a fitting end to his career.

But his ego wont let him do that.

He thinks he is the best players of all times, the king

I try not to be rude here... (except to the comedy team running the club). Besides, my comment summed up exactly what I think
I'd rather you be rude and give me a proper reply instead of leaving a snarky remark. What's the point of being on a discussion forum if you feel like you're above having a conversation with people you disagree with?

Hope he's dropped on Monday.
He doesn't want to be here and has made it known he doesn't fancy the coach's tactics.

He’ll find a club. Just needs to continue to lower his standards and demands. Like a widower or divorcee who hadn’t dated in 20+ years and are trying to get back into the game.

It’s usually best to go back to that one person who loved you back in the day, and still does, who you thought you were better than at the time, and didn’t want to stay with, Sporting Club.

Could be part of a Real Madrid clique in the dressing room with Varane and Casemiro. Eating their food together, laughing at the other squad members, reminiscing about the good old days...the cheek of it all ;)

Hopefully the Casemiro signing, an former successful team-mate from his best years, will shut him up a while, as realistically he's not leaving United. Yet to see any sort of sign a club will come in for him. That means if he's staying here we have to make the best of a bad situation, he needs to get his head down, stop sulking and realise that even though United are in a poor state, United are the biggest team he can play for at the moment.

Have some self-reflection for once and realise why no serious CL team wants him. Realise why even his boyhood club Sporting consider him not to be a "team player". Prove them wrong. Cut the tantrums, act like a team player. Accept a rotational role befitting of his age with dignity. Help United be successful this season by being a team player and he might even get his wish of get playing in the CL next season.

I don't understand why he doesn't just drop his wage demands, considering how badly he claims to want CL football. The guy is probably almost a billionaire, the money is loose change to him. I'm sure Dortmund would welcome him for £50K a week. It's quite sad to see someone who was always so football focused still give greater priority to the pursuit of wealth the he has absolutely no more possible need for.

It's an ego thing, I would say he can't hack the idea of playing for a team and not being one of the top earners, and if he thinks he's better than Messi the idea of Messi earning 10-20 times his salary would be tough for him to take on principle.

your comment: Just because Ronaldo looks like he got a note telling him that his hair looks bad every time something goes against him on the pitch doesn't mean he's the only one who is angry and embarrassed. This BS that he's the one who really cares and the rest can't be bothered is so tiring, especially when the one who supposedly cares the most is the one trying his hardest to leave, because that's apparently what real winners do when things get tough.

Sorry but that comment about his hair is ridiculous and is why this barely deserves a proper reply. you give no names of anyone else who even seems to give a monkey's. I don't see a single other player who even looks like they have any passion and none can produce, right now, what Ronaldo has for the club.

and players are allowed to want to leave clubs. to question whether Ronaldo is a winner is beyond a joke

As I thought. Being falsely linked to every club under the moon to claim rejection.

The problem is that he completely undermines the new manager and doesn't fit his style of play at all.

We would be better off terminating his contract now and getting rid of his ego and the circus that follows him around. His best days are well and truly behind him, the cons far outweigh the pro's of keeping him here.

Or maybe Dortmund just try to show him respect.

Fact is that he's on the market for weeks and no one is taking him eventhough his manager is whoring him out to everyone potentially interested. It's a joke to be fair. For the first time in a long time his selfconfidence seems to have turned into overconfidence and backfired against him. The sad thing is that its clearly undermined United and Erik ten Hag as well.

Hopefully when he does leave his caf acolytes (who flat out refuse to accept he could ever be in the wrong) follow him out the door too.

Ronaldo is one of the reason why casemiro is joining, at the moment there is higher chance of Maguire leaving than Ronaldo

I would love to see him play PL and FA matches and be dropped in all European competitions. He's starting to get on my nerves.
