Doing too much mate.

Bruno himself has taken the liberty out of his time to come out and comment on Joao Mario’s statements agreeing with him and sarcastically saying

“Stop Joao, now the newspapers won’t have anything to write about”

In fact a majority of Portuguese news outlets and talk shows all back him and agree with him. I reckon his national team teammates are no different including bruno and dalot.
On which topic?

I’ll say it again. If it comes down to it, force Ronaldo to train with the youth team and no match day appearances. A lot of money shoveled into the furnace, I admit, but doing so will pay dividends for years to come.

That is, if we can’t just rip up his contract. Trust me, I don’t have an agenda against Ronaldo. I was defending Ronaldo not that long ago here.
So he can poison our young lads? No thank you, just keep him far away from the club.

there should be no negotiating from Uniteds side apart from offering to rip up his contract without paying the outstanding money. Given what Ronaldo's done with tha Morgan interview, I feel that's more than generous.
Surely refusing to come on and ply for the club several times means he’s been in breach of contract several times. We should be able to terminate his contract and part ways. I agree I think it’s more of a slap if we actually don’t even bother to thank him or say anything at all.

Nothing. People are trying to read way too much into clips and pictures.
Aye, saw nothing there. The changing room vid though looks how I’d act in Bruno’s shoes, as captain of club in all but name I wouldn’t wanna be seen instantly giving him a big hug & hello, if nothing but for the visuals.
Very much doubt it’ll go much deeper than that, it’s Ronaldo’s thing, Bruno & Dalot will wanna distance themselves from it. They won’t be falling out with him.

Good to see Fernandes is even ashamed of ronaldos behaviour. Wouldn’t look at him in training today for Portugal apparently. What a captain Bruno is!

Contrary to all this BS about him being one of the most professional athletes ever he's actually now proven himself to be one of the most unprofessional bastards in the sports industry. He's joined forces with Piers Whoregan out of everyone and thrown his club, manager and ex teammates under the bus while at the same time having the audacity to claim he loves the club and the fans.....

Truly one of the most unprofessional and bizarre things I've witnesssed in sports.

Everything said in the interview.

The only thing some really spoke about that they were upset about was the timing of the interview.

However none felt it will have any affect on the national team or anything of that nature.

This is fans wanting that to be the case more then anything.

Bruno has already come out and commented on the “drama” between him and CR7 which he unsurprisingly confirmed is non existent.

I don’t know nor care whether there’s beef there. That being said, this is exactly what anybody with any kind of brain would say regardless whether it’s true or not.

After all this Ronaldo better roll back the years in the world cup or he will be a global laughing stock.

Really hard to care about this at all, maybe because I had moved on from having Ronaldo as an important player for Utd months ago.

It's in our interest that he does. Hopefully he really likes the Middle East and agrees to join that Saudi club for a huge fee.

Martial played against Fullham, City, Liverpool (and Ashton Villa in league cup) and United has good xG :)
Get a striker in Jan and we'll make it to top 4.
or plan B, perform some kind of reverse-voodoo ritual to make sure Martial stays fit for a change :angel:

So people agreed with blatant lies and also the fact that he contradicted himself within seconds? That's special.

We are overreacting about his pictures/videos with Bruno and Dalot. Bruno and Dalot will not back him publicly and take his side (of course) but they are still his mates and nothing changed about that. Playing for United is their job but Ronaldo is their friend. It is his fight vs United and they will not choose sides in all that.

Having said that; i would love that club's captain (Bruno, not Harry) says in public something about this. But that will never happen.

Reality is that it’s now certain that Ronaldo will NEVER play for us again which if nothing else is a positive as it allows us to play the way ETH wants without Ronaldo being a massive on pitch burden from needing to be carried through games now.

We all knew this was coming as far back as the summer when he wanted to leave, I think he believes that he is bigger than the club and that he’d walk into any team in the world based on past reputation due to his massive ego not accepting he’s done as a top level player.

Thing is unless we fire/release him I don’t see anyone else coming in for him because he’s deluded enough to believe he’s worth £500K a week and no one will pay that so we could see us stuck with Ronaldo til the summer, no matter what though if we are stuck with him he should be banished from training and not allowed near games.

I feel bad for him from a point of what happened with his child as I wouldn’t wish that on anyone BUT reality is he put in a transfer request, refused to turn up for pre season, walked out during an ongoing friendly game, played poorly when playing, refused to come on as a sub, walked out during the Spurs game and has thrown the club, manager and his team mates under the bus due to his spoilt brat attitude.

There has got to be a really good legal case now for terminating his contract on Gross Misconduct/Dispute levels - iim sure the legal eagles are checking all this out - if that’s the case then there will be no payoff and we will be £2m better off a month, have much greater squad harmony, full focus on ETH and what he is trying to achieve without this soap opera as the side show.

And possibly another striker in Jan? And maybe a gym, kitchen, pool and jacuzzi upgrade to boot!

That story was just crazy for doing the rounds again. I think they have nearly 50 goals scored in the Bundesliga, have just finished first in probably the most difficult champions league group and are, as usual top of their own domestic league. Why in hell would they want a player who's struggling in the premier league and reaching the end of his career :houllier:

Wish United fans would read the transcript or whatever and not give this interview any views. Pains me to think that disgusting creature Piers Moron will be profiting from this shit. Both of them should just be ignored.

You would think he must have a deal with someone. Definitely not Bayern - that would be the shock of the century!

However, we all thought he had some team lined up in the summer and there was no one. Could it be the same this time? I mean that would be crazy as hell.
Still cannot believe any team or any manager would welcome him after all his shit antics and not actually producing on the pitch.

If this isn't gross misconduct and/or making disparaging remarks about the club than what is? Does he have to call ETH the ant-christ and say that the Glazers eat children? I'm confident that the club will reach out to him to mutually terminate the contract and he walks without any severance, or they will just consider his conduct a breach and kick him out. The PR will be mild however, because it's generally better to keep things fairly neutral in the long term.
I'm certain they're just waiting for the whole interview to air before they act.

If rumours are correct he did had a team in Napoli, the alleged issue was that it was a loan, he had no intention to cut his wage and United had no intention to pay him while he plays for someone else.

That’s YOUR opinion that they are blatant lies, other have another opinion. Rightful so.

So far everything said was true the only “?” Was maybe ETH but as explained yesterday that looks like it has some foundations behind it but I’m not going to get into another tedious debate over it cause we already had this convo yesterday.
