Even for Ronaldo-standards this is next level if he goes there.

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?

That's not worth noting at all.
I know, but it makes for great entertainment
What a prick. It would be amazing to see them not win the CL
Why are we not signing him, he would be a god send.
God, i hate this club some times, sitting on our hands.
We can only do things other cluvs can dream off, yeah yeah.

Tbh his respect for United probably disappeared when we stopped winning things.
I’ve unfollowed and blocked his account on everything already.

If this absolutely must happen (and I'd rather he overdosed on hair products than see him score at Old Trafford in a City shirt) then I hope he does a full Adebayor, just to really ram it home that he's a bit of a cnut.Wait until he celebrates his goal at OT then shushes the crowd.
Someone check of @SirAF
I know football is a business and, most likely, he terribly wants to get out of Juventus, but if he comes to City he's a bit of a prick.
He's not like Zlatan who played a year there and another year here, he played 6 seasons for us. I hope our fans go wild on him.

Now we've lost the Bruno chant.
The hope that it won't is disappearing by the hour. I think it's done. I really shouldn't care but I adored him as a player, I will be genuinely gutted.
I have no idea why people here are so pissed off against Ronaldo for going to Man City.
The focal point of the problem is not with Ronaldo trying to move himself away from Juventus, and there being only one club which is Man City interested; it is about Man Utd not being interested in the player.
I am sure the man would join Man Utd in a heartbeat if, Man Utd did make an offer for him.
Obviously, Ole feels it not necessary to buy Ronaldo at the moment, which is unfortunate, and Cristiano has found himself only one viable option which is City.

1. He probably doesn't want to come here.
2. He'd cost an absolute fortune in transfer fees + wages for a 36-year-old.
3. He's 36, turning 37 in February.
4. We have a bloated squad as it is and can't seem to get rid of the likes of Lingard and Mata so point 2 is even more important.
Don't know why so many are shocked about Ronaldo wanting to move to City. He left United 12 years ago. Any lingering affection he may have felt for the club has long eroded by now.
Plus City are still far more likely to win trophies than we are currently. I'm very optimistic about the squad we're building. It's full of exciting, young attacking talent. But we're still not as strong overall as City or even Chelsea.

I know people will say I’m dramatic but he’s done for me if this happens. Would be a massive disappointment from a player and a man I’ve probably looked up to my whole life. Yes I know blah blah it’s only football but I idolised him as a kid and have enjoyed his whole career. If he goes to city he’s basically admitting he never gave a damn about the Utd team or fans. Massive shame, anyway I look forward to now saying Messi was the better player all along!
Thank feck. This tap in merchant has nothing on Messi.
Speaking on the whole Bruno front, Ronaldo convinced Bruno to sign for United over City allegedly, so why go to City himself?
This is ridiculous. Proper pissed off by this move which more than likely seems on.
Feck off. Feck right off.
I just see it as a bit of a PR own goal going to City. Even Chelsea would be a wiser choice.
Bruno Bruno Bruno
He came from Sporting like Nani
He goes left. He goes right
Makes defences look shite.
He's our Portugese Magnifico
Because he wants to play for a club that’ll help him achieve his personal goals, he’s already played for the two biggest clubs in football so doesn’t need to chase that prestige.
Because Bruno and him don't work that well but most certainly because he wants a bigger chance of winning trophies with the highest possible wages
His commercial appeal alone will well and truly establish City once and for all. Look at the effect Messi's had on PSG's social media following before even kicking a ball.
I don't know why we're not even trying for him. His numbers for Juve are ridiculous.

I loved him from the moment I saw him toy with our team in that pre-season friendly. I genuinely don't think he has other plausible suitors than City. Juve want him out and there doesn't seem to be any interest from others. He's a backup option for City at this point.
If he goes there, I can only assume we did not make a move for him, as I still think he'd have chosen us easily over going there.

I'm really confused as to the shock and awe in this thread.
I'm trying to figure out where this idea that Ronaldo really cares about this club or any club for that matter comes from. I mean the difference with Ronaldo and his love for Portugal and his love for Madrid/United/Juve is night and day. Again. I'm not knocking the guy but he would defo join Barca/Milan/City/Liverpool if they were challenging for all honours and wanted to pay him. In Ronaldo's eyes club football is just a way to stack as many accolades as possible.

I’m gonna have to stop listening to all the chat around football, of which there is a lot of content; podcasts, panel shows, radio shows etc and just watch Utd games. Doing this for zen.
So PSG are still sniffing around eh...
I think he's desperate to one up Messi and win another CL.
Works for me. I love Nani.
If his fee is as low as reported, why aren't we swooping in for him? If only to show some muscle?
Haaland is supposedly a big, big fan of him as well, which might come in handy a year from now.

Fixed
His love for Portugal is clearly the greatest, but i'd say his relationship with RM is clearly above those other two, considering how hard he pushed to move there in the first place, and the length of his stay.I'm really confused as to the shock and awe in this thread.

Who is that? His profile says "Real Madrid and PSG forever". A real fan of the underdog it seems.
Just need to get Phil Jones fit for the derby.
He wants City.
Meh, not really bothered. He's going there at 36 years old, and to be honest I don't really see things going all that well for him there. Probably throw a strop when Pep subs him off at 60 minutes because he's not pressing.

The new Figo
SNAKE
Same. He's my 2nd favourite Portuguese united player of all time.
Oh god. Don't remind me.
