This is the best video I've found so far demonstrating the freak of nature he is. Highlights from last season...I just can't believe he's 36.

I just wish they had the ability to ask the questions that should be asked, instead of claiming "United have given up" because we didn't move for Mbappe or Harry Kane instead
Will edit that, did mean to put woman!
That old aging horse that has won too many races to count and is still the favorite for the next few races to come. Yes, that one.
No, read the article in the post i quoted.
it's not horse racing. Its not just a test of physical attributes, but also technical and mental skills.
Ronaldo is still elite in all aspects of his game.
I'll quote myself because you must have missed my follow up post...
The whole "shirt sales will cover a big transfer" line often gets used.
The commercial deals we’ll do with having him in the side will more than pay for him too
Yes he has lost some pace from his peak but WOW still got unbelievably quick feet plus the finishing and heading ability too
Seemed to play wide for Juve last season?
The shirt numbers have already been registered with the EPL we can't change them if we wanted to.
Please God, let him score one like that on (re)debut at the Stretford end.
Juventus' quality and system regressed from Allegri to Sarri to Pirlo.
Tremendous regression. Bad football. Ronaldo was being supplied by the likes of Bentancur, Ramsey and Pjanic with his partners being Higuain and Morata. Those on United's bench, Cavani, Greenwood, van de Beek and Rashford would provide far better supply.
At United, Ronaldo will look around him and see Pogba, Fernandes and Sancho with, IMO, the world's best LB in Shaw supplying balls in too.
Chalk and cheese.

When he was supposed to go to City, ex players pundits, talksport geeks, all said what he could bring to them, its was this better that better. Now hes coming home same or more useless has been are saying the opposite.
I get it that these ex pool players etc dont like UTD, but look at this Guy Cristiano Ronaldo, 36 top scorer in serie A last season . There is no mention of that, and Lukaku went for nearly £100 million , and played in same league?? Hes had so much praise so much positivity. We all know they hate UTD , sometimes is plainly obvious, and Ronny will love this Bashing if u call it that, at 36 he will still have something to prove. Watch The Stanley Matthew's documentary , that will prove a player is done when he wants to be.

Will he give his 'debut' today?
TBH Trippier would be a nice addition now so we can provide quality crosses from both sides. Still prefer a DM though
0% chance.
He'll enjoy playing with our forwards, looks like the Juventus forward lineup wasn't that tuned in with him.
I don't watch Juventus, but just watching the compilation above, it perfectly matches what you said.
Yeah the ABU hate will definitely drive him on we have already heard from the likes of Souness, Merson, & Holt
These wages are astronomical! Do not think he warrants that.
Tom Brady is a different sport with lots of pauses... not sure CR7 will be that decisive in Premier League and especially UCL.
That said what a transfer, wonderful to have him back!

The counter attacks are going to be terror. I don't think many managers would feel comfortable committing players forward against the kind of pace and finishing quality we have now.
Any further news on what’s actually happening with him? I heard a medical at some point this weekend then nothing more after that. Obviously he’s with the Portuguese setup for upcoming internationals.
How would we announce him after the rather innovative, old school unveiling of Varane? Is it really going to be like the old days where hes just there doing pre match warm ups on the pitch with everyone else before the Newcastle game?

Actually United stock also rise £212m in market value in just one day since Ronaldo joined.
The compliation is representative of him being very sharp, fit, fast with superb movement. But it's not representative of his poor set pieces, his build up play being poor and too many speculative shots.
Stick him in the box, just around it and he'll be superb. Expecting him to drop back, collect the ball from deep - thank God for Fernandes - and it will cause issues.
So that’s United not coming to America next year, then.
Whatever we pay Ronaldo we will easily recoup through shirt sales,mercahandising,new sponsorships etc etc.
The man is a goal scoring machine, i don't see how joining United will change that.He'll score plenty over the next 2 + seasons.
I'll tell you something, Fergie would never ever have signed a player with an eye on "stock market value".
Damn. He's kinda like Jesus but not in a sacrilegious way.
If he really takes his goal scoring chances, then by the end of next season, there is a small chance he could be our 5th all time top goal scorer.
That's it. The way teams will stop ronaldo is to cut off his supply. Not sure we have the midfield to work around that.
Not true.
The rise was in market cap, and there’s no guarantee that it will remain at its elevated level, because stock price increase & decrease based on a number of factors.
Market value is completely different.
I wish he had.
Supply side Jesus (google it).
Watch what happens to Juve this year without Ronaldo. He's been carrying them for at least the past two years. Even with Inter weakened, I'd honestly be stunned if Juve won the league.The Juve team last season had no goal scorer. Look at the team. If they didnt have Ronaldo the season should have ended worse. Its easy to say that Ronaldo "took" the team goals and make himself look better but the reality isnt like that. They would struggle to replace the numbers Ronaldo had put out over the years, especially finding someone good enough to replace him for 28m (Ronaldo fee).
Why? We're talking about Ronaldo here, not power hungry scuMessi.
