Cristiano Ronaldo (I stay)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Think so? Or think he will be looking to mediate him staying on. I just can't see Fergie going in on Ronaldo.

'Zero offers' is surely the key thing.
For all the fuss, nobody has actually bid for the guy.
Fergie looks pissed off. I fear for Ronnie
This what I got from twitter:
“In the end #mendes will ask utd to loan ronaldo for one season so he can play ucl and UTD should finish in top four in PL So RONalDo Will come back and play for utd again
If utd fail to finish top four then the loan team will buy ronaldo..
That is the real outcome”
There would be a meltdown if this happened.

Zero offers so he has to stay. Lose lose siuation
That has nothing to do with who is better. Ronaldo has played for 3 pf thr most popular clubs in the world. He has to be popular. But as a player he is and has always been Inferior to Messi in every department barring scoring goals.
A bit like Pogba until he eventually went on a free, he’ll probably stay here because there’s no real market for him.
A Saudi club offered 250m....oh I forgot they denied it.
He has always expected his players to exhibit loyalty to the club and him. So this has to grind his gears a bit -- especially when he went out on a limb to bring back Ronaldo.
Can't really see the issue with the big boys at the club getting together for what is probably a difficult mature conversation. Some people in this thread perhaps are too immature to imagine how that is something that happens sometimes. It's not all game of thrones and fan TV
I think that’s why he’s brought Mendes with him. Our response when he says he wants to leave is obviously going to be “well nobody fecking wants ya” — at which point super agent Jorge starts his snake oil pitch and tells us how Bayern and Atletico really want him but we just have to make it easy as possible and give him the rest of the window to sort it out.
Griezmann is shite. Does Atletico even own the rights to him? Also, he was a Beckham fan, not necessarily United fan
He will probably come back and ask United to pay him the CL salary instead and as a way ''to keep him'' at United for another year.
Why the feck would we like to wait a year for even older Ronaldo? In what World does it make any sense for us?

Absolutely a losing proposition when talking about a 37 year old...
Maybe when he was still 24-33 but definitely not now. The game's moved on from teams being built around individuals too
I really doubt we're asking any sort of astronomical transfer fee for him, if any at all.
If he can't leave, it's really not our fault.
If he can't leave, it's really not our fault.
Is his agent necessary if he's staying and doing clear the air talks. I suppose he can explain what's gone on but if Ronaldo is back to train and stay then just knuckle down. Seems there's more to it and it's about him moving even though reports suggest no-one is in for him.
Hopefully if Ronaldo wants to go then we can accept a low fee as we didn't pay that much I think? Or just release him and both agree to terminate the contract.

Exactly. People seem to want to apply the same historical indicators of his performance and project it to the near future. He's 38 -- great as a swimwear model but not great in the modern approach to how ETH wants to play.
What an ego the man has. Unilaterally skips preseason - and a new manager's first preseason at that - then has flies to his office to have 'talks' about doing his goddamn job.
All I can hope is that the club back Ten Hag. I fear the marketing team and of course the Glazers will override him though, and make him coddle Ronnie because, erm, brand.
It was always a mistake to bring him back, but it was only supposed to be a mistake for a season or so, not drag on like this. Get rid of the man already.

Mendes is there to back up his alibi for missing preseason camp due to his personal issue
No top manager sucks his c**k at this point
A black one.
He only has 1 year left on his contract anyway. If he goes on loan, he’ll be a free agent at the end of it.
Right now, if there are no buyers, the next best thing for us is he goes on loan.
If I’m having a serious official meeting like this then I’m making sure my representative is sat with me. Regardless of where I stand at that moment.
Bringing him back was a mistake. He's way more trouble than he's worth at this stage, even when he doesn't want to leave.
Nice edit
Thanks for clearing that up, you guys really must have a great relationship with him and his wife to know all that. You are two very lucky people.
I was stupid to think that something so trivial as losing a child has had any bearing on the mans decisions about his plans for the rest of his time in the game.
I guess it really is all just about him and his own personal quest for more glory. Nothing more nothing less.

SAF and Gill being there unrelated to Ronaldo.

Yeah it’s nonsense but I guess this theory works if United did trigger the option of the 2nd year as reported.
Just wait for the biggest PR spin of all time to be given to us.
Embarrassing.
Embarrassing.
No wonder SAF looks pissed.
Good cover story but I'd find it harder to believe Fergie won't have a conversation with him if they're both in the building at the same time...
That was the version of him like 5 years ago, not today!
Why embarrassing? And to who?
You build your team around peak Ronaldo and Messi. You don't rebuild a team around guys who will be retired or irrelevant in a few years.
I have to believe that we aren't still stupid enough to bow to someone like Ronaldo.
