Are people in this thread doing that weird thing were they act like Ronaldo is not a United legend?
Catalyst and star player during our most dominant period. Won ballon d’or here. Won more than Cantona here. Arguably the best player to line up for the club. Come on
Depends on how you define legend.
For me, a club legend is someone who:
- Is first and foremost associated with that one club.
- Spent their best years at that club.
- Does have a genuine affection for the club.
Point 3 is often hard to judge, of course, but Ronaldo falls well short of both 1 and 2. He's a Real Madrid legend as far as I'm concerned. United was a springboard for him, nothing more.
And yes, Cantona is a United legend because I believe he ticks all those boxes. Maybe 3 not so much any more but who knows. Definitely 1 and 2 though.
