As always even with SAF. Give it to Ronaldo in the box. You don't need a complicated plan.

Ah I'm only slagging. He's been doing for ages. I only found out off here in the past year or so.
We finally cashed in our Bebe card
Oh right thanks for clearing that up
We already get the ball into the box when no one's there so I don't think we'll have to adjust much.
Thanks
The younger players in our squad must be absolutely buzzing! Rashford, greenwood and sancho. What a player to learn from
What a signing. As a non-United fan, this makes me want to play Fifa 22 with United and I haven't played Fifa in ages. Ofcourse I'll be playing Donny in midfield over one of Fred or McT.
This all happened so fast. Yesterday and this morning it was DEFCON 1 with City. By the afternoon it was full steam ahead with United and boom, done.
Can't wait to see him playing for us!!!! Just like the old United! So happy. We now have an amazing team! Fear factor is back.
- Fergie played a "major role" in the last 24 hours both calling Ronaldo and Mendes to sell them on United, as well as members of the United board
I agree, PSG was likely the ideal option that they were shooting for before Messi moved. Always important to view stories like this from the angle of all involved, Mendes included.
Ok, now when we are little bit calmer now; how come decided to sign him? Was that our plan from beggining? We don't have money for dmc but have this amount money for him? When we entered in race? Does this mean no Haaland/Kane next summer? Damn, so many questions...
he’s injured dipshit
Serious question, how good is he still at 36? I didnt follow him much so no clue
I‘ve been busy with guests at home. Just fell down to my sofa, opened YouTube and my jaw fell down too. OMG! I’m not sure should I be happy or worried.
Exactly. We do get the ball in the box but Martial is rarely there. Now just cross into the box. Also he is very good in the air too. We have an areal threat with Ronnie, Cavani, Maguire, Pogba and McTominay if he plays. Or I forgot Varane.
scored more league goals than Lukaku so pretty decent, I'd guess?
It's going to be strange not to see him in the #7 jersey.
PL is quicker than Serie A though

Why is Ronaldo slow?
Cavani would have to give it up, and since the league has now started, the club would need permission from the league to allow it

And now they’re both playing in the Premier League…
I should have worded it better - the fear was that Ronaldo would not be allowed to leave Juve (i.e. Juve would not want to sell or would want too much money) and we allegedly did not want to get drawn into negotiations (that would inevitably become very public) only to get stung.
De Gea
Varane
Maguire
Shaw
AWB
Bruno
Pogba
Sancho
Cavani
Ronaldo
Fred
What a frightful first 11

When do we think he will make his second debut?
Dont know, but he is 36
I don't think it looks too bad
Im getting goosebumps just thinking about Old Trafford belting out Viva Ronaldo.. this is so surreal.
This is insane.
His mentality and ability to score goals is perfect for us now.
Amazing deal

And what?
According to whom, you can't just make stuff up and pass it off as fact. Unless you are on the cafe ....wait wha???
I think that was what 2004? but yeah he looks about 7 in that picture.
Bit confused about your post here - I was clearly offering my opinion that PSG was likely the ideal option that Mendes was targeting, but that obviously became a non-starter when Messi went there. There were reports last summer that Mendes had offered Ronaldo to them (PSG) and they declined because they already had en eye on Messi's free agency. Not that hard to draw a line of logic between last summer's reports and the reports that Ronaldo had decided to leave Juve this summer and make an educated guess that he and Mendes had a plan that blew up when Messi left Barca.
My point is quite obvious I think
paywalled sadly
He's Ronaldo.
Summer of 2003., vacation on the seaside with my parents. Almost nothing happening in the transfer market (we missed Ronaldinho) and my dad was reading newspapers and told me: "Son, Ronaldo is coming to Manchester"! I was so out of mind, happily jumping around, who would think that United would sign Ronaldo the 9! After 5 minutes of my joy, in cold manner he added: "But it's Cristiano not the real Ronaldo". In that moment I felt like someone dropped the bucket full of crap on my head haha, and everything after is history.
Today when this happened the feeling was same like those 5 minutes in 2003. when "the real Ronaldo came here" and surely he is! Welcome home where all of this started!

What a day to remember. A year later you'll still be able to tell this story.What a surreal day.
I left for work this morning amidst the rumours/talk of Ronaldo going to City. Actually had a chat with a City fan, who was quite happy to gloat that they were getting him. He spent an age talking about lineups and where they could fit him in, and what a forward line it would be. "We don't even need Kane now that we've got Ronaldo".
Walked to my car before making the journey home and thought I'd check the football news. Saw the words Ronaldo and Manchester and thought that this was confirmation that City had actually got him...and then had to sit down when I saw "United" in the headline. Must have read that headline about 4 or 5 times before I understood it. Checked several other sites to see the same thing and spent about 5 or 10 minutes in the car, engine off, scrolling through that now famous RedCafe transfer thread. My smile grew wider and wider with each and every page.
Did not wake up expecting this. What a day.
