So Mitten said today Ronaldo thought he was off to Chelsea, apparently he told people at Carrington he was only in for a week then he was joining Chelsea.
If that is the case then clearly potter has been hired by boely as a puppet

You said he can’t score 30 in a Sunday league…. The only one laughing is me.

If you don’t have anything good or notable to Reply with then don’t, saying stuff like that just looks sad.

Look I'm not trying to be a dick, as everyone knows the club hasn't been doing so well and I know it's a United forum so it's difficult for people to be as objetive as they can. I don't even agree entirely with that Ronaldo said, nor I think what he's doing is the most professional behavior. For me it appears he's trying to force a move by putting a club in a difficult position.

He used to behave like that at Real Madrid whenever he wanted a pay raise or something, he would start whinning, acted annoyed, etc. Zidane would tell Florentino to deal with him and eventually the club drew a line. I don't know what he has been promised or what exactly his deal is but I do believe United need to deal swiftly with this and either get him in line or get rid of him.

With that being said I've also noticed people were hating on him since last season and have repeated constantly how United was 2nd place and he disrupted everything good with the team. To me that's a blatant lie and a clear agenda on him, although I have to say it's clear the team is trying to play a more modern styl now with ETH and there is a tangible improvement and direction now with or without Ronaldo.
Good post.

Of course.

The fans are upset for him saying the truth or hurting their feelings so Now it’s “ohh he’s this and that so of course he would do this”

No basis behind it at all. What he’s said in the little of the interview we’re all correct.

If people believe he sprinkled a lie about the ETH part then wake up. No matter what he’s enemy number 1 now so even if he’s correct which he probably is he will still be wrong to the fans.

Surely you are just wumming at this point? Calling fans butthurt because of his comments is more arselicking that even Piers Morgan could muster. Once again, that some of his claims might be true in isolation is COMPLETELY irrelevant. This was a highly unprofessional and unforgivable move - in every setting in life, not just in fotball. It's a, if not borderline, sackable offence. He is basically shitting on the club in one of the most unprofessional ways, yet here you are, on a Manchester United forum trying to wum by hiding behind "offering a different view". Hopefully Ronaldo fans like you leave with him.

I could be wrong but I feel part of his form this season is due to the fact that he hates where he is at and does not want to be their. I feel as though he has half way quit and he can’t wait to go to another club and be genuinely happy.
So you're saying it could be that he's not being professional and giving it his best for the wages he earns?

It's so interesting that for certain Ronaldo fans (like you, SportingCP96!), it's not enough to just support them as players and worship their abilities on the pitch. They have to line up to bat for him every time he does something off the pitch, as if he must also be a man of impeccable virtue with no moral failings whatsoever. It is true idolization. You often see Ronaldo fans constructing scenarios that would absolve him of any blame or wrongdoing whatsoever, even with a paucity of information as we have here. It's essentially the same as what happens with people like Trump or Jordan Peterson; it really doesn't matter what they do, their acolytes will willingly manufacture a narrative that protects them at all costs.
I actually think both parties are at fault here and I think releasing this interview right now especially was idiotic by Ronaldo.

What I am defending is that this thread is completely one sided without looking at the very obvious reasoning that their is a lot more to this.

There's only one United!

You're overworked here and not able to answer all the members that disagree with you.
I didn't see anyone applauding whatever you're trying to prove.

Yes it’s so dog shit that one of your best players came from their. Oh and the many others who are stars in every major team in the world.
It's far from dog shit but that's the point, maybe you're right in saying he's downed tools and is not playing to the best of his ability atm but one thing I will say is if the current Ronaldo (The one that has been playing for Portugal and United this season) turns up at Lisbon he's not getting 25-30 goals in the league.

Just had a listen to the opening of Phil deBrun’s podcast Beyond the Pitch. He likens Ronaldo’s personality to Trump. He’s not wrong.

When you become the best athlete on the planet and an international sex symbol, it probably goes to your head a bit. Just to get to the level of professional footballer you've got to have an enormous amount of self-confidence and a bit of an ego...let alone the level he achieved.

So, when in the span of 3 or 4 years you go from the best footballer on the planet on his way to cementing his legacy as the best ever, to a player who is absolutely cooked and cannot even buy a goal in Europe's second-rate competition, it's probably not very easy to accept.

Dude doesn't have the humility to step back from the situation and admit that he's no longer the player he was. Instead everyone else is the problem.

We all have a right to be angry and obviously he can never wear the badge again. But it's also sad to see things come to this. Ronaldo the player, with his all-encompassing career, should be remembered better than this.

My god, if Messi leads Argentina to the World Cup I don't think Ronaldo's ego will be able to take it.

It's a watershed moment. This is when the club back ten Hag and whatever he wants to do.

Yes, they tend to leave when they become top talents or come back when they're washed up.

He shows up and plays but as most humans when your not happy and motivated things are not coming off as they normally would. That’s what I feel COULD be a reason for his poor display.

OR

he did decline that fast. Can’t answer it until I see another season of it.

With the narcissists its always someone elses fault. textbook stuff really.
100% been through it myself with narcs Ronaldo resinates me heavily with people I've had close to me in life before too.

Including the stonewalling / punishment he does to pundits (pretending Carragher and Neville aren't there because they said bad things about him in the media).

He's very petty and it's funny and sad at the same time. Often narc people get worse with age.

They are 100% but the fact they someone is automatically accused of guilty without any proof is exactly why many men are locked up unjustly for false allegations. Those men are victims.

Or does that not suit your narrative?

Because if you think that if a women says she was raped she is automatically correct and the man accused should be arrested and put in jail for 30 years then something is seriously wrong with you.

This however is derailing to initial topic on hand.
Ok, i have never said that. Accusing someone falsely is a horrible thing to do, and we should not throw people in jail without a fair trial. But we should neither just scuff away allegations based on the fact that some be false.

What i dont get is how you can say he has had a flawless character for the last 18 years?

Dalot has a contract renewal due and doesn’t he have Mendes too? :(
That's a stretch. Why would Mendes sacrifice other client's interest because of Ronaldo? If Dalot wants to stay he will stay whether Ronaldo is around or not.

He's turning 38. He declined. That's all it is. All his movements and actions point to a player that has dropped off physically in the classic age way. He's fallen off the cliff.

Just look at how garbage he is for Portugal too. It's not just United.

Managerial choices innit, not in line with what he needs as a player. Came for Ole ball, then two managers were brought in that actually wanted him to run and work for the team.
Ergo, disrespect.

Probably he then fully expected them to let him leave for free in the Summer which they wouldn’t.

My point was that he has never done this before, never publicly attacked a club or manager. He has been the model professional his whole career.

Something sparked this and to say “oh it’s because he’s playing bad is a bs answer”.

Something caused him to react this way and the comments about ETH weee not done on a wim.

Surely you have seen enough with the Selecão to know Ronnie is on the decline. His latest showings for Portugal had his sister attacking the whole country as ungrateful, just because Ronaldo was rubbish.

This Ronaldo hit the post in Cyprus when it was easier to score. He spurned numerous opportunities in the return leg. He's hit the wall. Now he's raging against time itself and taking it out on everyone around him.

100% he is declining or has declined. I am not debating that. His role for Portugal should be coming on in the last 30 minutes because he is the greatest goal scorer the game has ever seen and I still trust him in a big moment.

His role should naturally start to be reduced.
