Bang on. He should have let the club know before the transfer window opened.

Why a surprise? He's arguably the most driven footballer currently, all things considered.
He's in a lame duck year and won't be at United within 12 months. He's given the club advanced noticed and there's still 2 months to find some type of replacement more suited to EtH.
Frees up massive wages and will generate a transfer for a 2nd time. He's trying to win at the highest level and the club isn't able to do that this year. No problem. Amazing to see him back last season, but for all that he brought to the table, there's a lot to accommodate.

For me... He'll stays.
If that's the case he's a bigger bellend than I thought.
Going through the media to stir sh*t up. Yeah, what a legend.
2 year contract.
Make him honour it. We can’t afford another striker! - Martial is as useful as a blind housewife and Marcus is more interested in putting peas on plates…..

Have a lie down.
He's only a footballer and he thinks our endeavours next season are beneath him. He's best gone. You too will be fine.
Dont blame him.
We hopefully will get a fee though and start the rebuild proper.

Well said
Yep, thats what annoys me, he could have let the club know as soon as the season was over if its because we haven`t got Champions league football and we could have looked for a striker before he went . If he goes now selling clubs know we are desperate to replace him and we get bent over a barrel again. We`ve always known he is a selfish twat though.
If we’re being brutally honest, he was completely shite till February anyway. He did score some solid CL goals but in the league we may as well have been playing with 10 men.
No surprise this at all, and who would blame Ronaldo for wanting out. He has gone from playing with the world's best to playing alongside Rashford, Maguire, Mctominay and Fred.
Oh well according to the top reds on this forum we will be fine as we have Rashford. So I fully expect a world class season from Rashford playing through the middle and scoring atleast as many as Ronaldo tucked away last season.

Hilarious that this tweet is being posted on a RedCafe that thinks Bruno is shite and Rashford only gets games because he's English.
Now we apparently don't need to replace the output of the only guy who looked like scoring all season.
Will be a blessing in disguise even if we don't sign a striker, mark my words.
So many people saying "dont blame him", hahah fecking *****. It's clear as day he doesn't give a feck about United, would've joined City last summer without a second thought, also left us when we were on top of the world with Ferguson for a struggling Madrid side.

Yeah, to replace him in the starting eleven
If I cared about the club and had ticked most career boxes, then I would stay yep.
I don’t blame him. He can still do a decent enough job for a regular CL team and his own brand and personal records are always going to trump his ‘love for the United fans.’
This may be a good thing in the long run for a total cultural reset for this squad but we must try to replace the goals somehow through a combination of getting much more out of what we currently have plus a couple of new striker signings.

We've probably known for a while hence why we rivalled Liverpool for Nunez. He chose them, it happens.
I guess we are waiting to see how concrete it is before pursuing other options.

My only problem with this news is that it has let other transfer threads in caf go down. We need more tweets on Frenkie & Martinez.
Which available forwards fit Ten Hag’s style?
Its depressing that he's leaving because of how shit we are but at the end of the day the return was a mistake and this would benefits both parties. The wages were insane and his finishing isn't what it used to be. Seen him miss so many easy chances last season. He's still good but not good enough to cry over.
As long as he doesn't join Chelsea I'm happy.
Gnarby(if he can play as #9) or Felix would be incredible additions to the team and could push us to the next level.

This is one of the main reasons I wanted him to stay. If he leaves a striker moves very high on our priorities.
These comparisons to the season before last are weird as feck. Last year we looked totally toothless without him up front. Like absolute shit. Who says Rahsford will ever find his form again? Who says Bruno will find his scoring boots again? Plus we have lost Greenwood and Cavani. So not all is good if Ronaldo leaves like some of the weird Twitter folks wants us to believe. We need goal scorers and a new right winger.
Only if you actually manage to believe that we'd go into the season without a CF addition
Fernandes should be the happiest man in Manchester with this news.
Correct but it also frees up an enormous amount of wages.

He's angry as much as a number of us are here and this could help accelerate transfers since until now we have (maybe) ONLY Malacia confirmed, which is not so great.
We risk losing FDJ to Chelsea who have CL and he wants CL.
Antony is not coming and Eriksen is still wary of the situation.
Maybe Martinez but it's been a tough slog for all United supporters.
Ronaldo forcing the issues???

In coming weeks is funny. Like we have all time in the world to think about our best goal scorer of last season leaving or not.
Let's head to the bargain bin of strikers whose prices just suddenly tripled.
No issue with him leaving and I’d imagine ETH might not see it as a bad thing either. As good as it was to see Ronaldo back last year it seems the perfect time to start fresh and give ETH a squad that can play the way he wants. I’ve no idea who we bring in or if he thinks we can get enough goals spreading it around but give him what he needs.
Jamie is completely right though. He just wanted out of Juventus and found the next best payer.
He doesn't care about United anywhere near as much as the fans want to think he does.
I'd be happy to see him leave. We'll be fine for goals some of you need to give your heads a wobble.
I'd rather get rid and not setup a team around a soon to be 38 year old who is only interested in padding his stats.
So much for the "he loves the club" crowd.

Look on the bright side Martial usually performs when he doesn’t have any competition for the striker role. 
Agree, get fecking rid of cnut.
There aren't many options out there.
I'd probably opt for Tammy Abraham.

The worst thing that could happen is this affect the De Jong deal.
What on Earth is Gary going on about, Carragher was spot on all along
Incoherent emotional ramble from Neville again.
