Does anyone actually think we are even contemplating spending £400m on him, never mind the full £800mil release clause? That clause is just about ego and I'm sure it is purely an 'on-paper' figure. In reality, Real would probably let him go for less than £200mil, in my opinion. Given his age, I still don't think we should be paying that for him, by the way. If we can get him for £150mil and wages of around £400k per week, then I think we should do it. That's basically just using Zlatan's wages, plus a little bit more.
Would you want Ronaldo back?

- Start date
If the player really wants to leave, just like any player at any club, he'll get his way.
At 32 I suspect no club will pay anywhere near the figures being talked about anyway. Real will know that. They also won't want to keep an unhappy player.
Tosser wants a pay rise hit the ignore button.
Inside ronaldos dictionary, under gullible, is a picture of us Manchester United's fans!

Clearly. You bunch of contrarian bastids.That's a slight on me isn't it you bastard.
I don't want Rashford's and Martial's progress to be halted, so no.
He will stay. This is a smokescreen by pro-benfica journo abola to cover for the corruption scandal going on. So don't get your hopes very high.
Of course! He may be on the decline age wise but he is still a cut above anyone in our squad. Of course I think all of this is hot air, but if was available I'd be all for it.
Anyone saying no is on the fecking wine.
Fee and wages aside, if you could bring him in, you bloody would. Jesus Christ Zlatan at 35 was a huge influence despite our poor league showing - imagine 3-4 years of Ronaldo.

I believe even at 150m euros would be a solid investment. Goals goals goals while the backbone of the team is polished
He plays on the left
He's a whiny git
He don't pay taxes but he scores a bit

Didn't we argue that even if the world's best player were to come here, people would still find something to complain about? Point proven.
If we get him back we have a good chance of winning the league for the next 3 seasons. Commercially it would also make a lot of sense. Also the chance to have arguably the greatest player of all time finish his career at United is very tempting
Woah.
Sky Germany reported that Real wants 300 mio for him. Even for 200 I would say no. If United does this kind of craziness, there won't be any other issue the whole season.
If he is available for less... who knows.

Reals asking price for ronaldo is £200m! Fcuk that shiit. If there is one dumb ass club that would pay that amount its utd.
We are not going to pay 300 m for him. No one will.
Price doesn't really matter if Ronaldo pushed for leaving they will have to sell for lower price eventually. It all depends on Ronaldo, not Madrid.
Too much money for a player who may not have that many years left at top level. That and our style of play would have to be centred around him getting goals. I'd rather we move on. He wanted out, and stayed despite him not getting anywhere near the loyalty and adoration he had here. Him getting sick of it and wanting to retire here just doesn't sit well with me.
I might be entirely wrong. He seems to get more and more determined, takes tremendously good care of himself. I'd love to be wrong and find that he was winding down five years from now, having grabbed the league and the CL with us and having been a leader in the team. We'll see if we get to find out, or if this is an elaborate tactic to get better terms for a new contract, or a move elsewhere.

He is going to China.
You do realize we would be signing a 32 year old on a 6 year deal? The decline is coming, almost certainly in this period. Or his knee injuries could get worse in the physical premier league. I hope our club has learned something from the Rooney contract.
Please....seriously???
maybe he'll chip in then?
Who said the contract will be for 6 years ? Also Ronaldo will never, never reach Rooney's current state even when he declined.
Anyway relax because he'll remain at Madrid, but I'm surprised that some here can actually refuse a Ballon D'Or winner because he's 32. I won't ask anymore when I see Caf members refusing to sign any player because even Ronaldo got the same treatment.
Are people really thinking he would come here with Jose in charge after the way they parted in Madrid? Can't see the two ever working together again. It actually surprised me that it took so long for their two egos to clash when Mou was still Real Madrid manager.
How can it even be a question? Not only would he provide an instant boost, but he'd make us a lot more attractive for up-and-coming players.
Yes, especially at the currently mooted price of 131m. That's almost a bargain, assuming we basically use him as the striker that he really is now. Yeah, we'd be paying for Mbappe to Real, but then we don't have to buy Moratta. Figure he's good for at least 2-3 good years, and another 2-3 years of usefulness when properly rested/rotated. Imagine the effect he'd have on youngsters like Rashford & Martial, with his unparalleled work ethic & how he takes care of himself.
A lot depends on the price, as I don't think it's worth it to go much over 150m, but I'd think we'd recoup a lot of that on marketing, plus the 'galactico' effect on recruiting.
Now, do I think he'll actually leave RM? I think it's about 30-70 against right now. Figure this is mostly a strop to help get the authorities in line or somehow reduce the hit to his pocket. But......

I think people are confusing him with Rooney.
Sure there will be a decline as nature dictates, but he is physical specimen and his technique won't go out the window. He is proficient with both feet, and is an underrated crosser of the ball. Could he emulate what Zlatan did for us but with more efficiency? I think he can. Also at some point we need experienced players too (Assuming Rooney leaves and Carrick is on his last season). As for his mentality, do UTD fans really doubt his will to keep winning? Given how he came out fighting after the clash with Rooney in the Euros, I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
A CR7 with a point to prove could be deadly.
I still hate the fact that we are going to be financing Real Madrid's summer transfer project. (Almost like they came to us with a request for +100mil and we get to choose a player that is willing to leave). With that in mind if it is a straight choice between CR7 or Mbappé, I'd choose the future, Mbappé.
The benefits for us are huge I agree, but the benefit to him isn't as obvious.What will he gain by playing in league 1. Nothing, might not even be a cl contender, while in epl with the massive tv deal and top managers in the England this could potentially blow the roof at old Trafford.
Imagine the revenue which is already at its highest . Top mid top defense and a rebuiling of attack can deliver us 2-3 epl titles with some cl too when winning league titles is very hard. It will also crush the peps city project and wengers, mourinho can get one up on Chelsea who sacked him
I know it's a muppet dream and he will stay but if ever he were to leave it's not total bad decision to make it happen given his phenomenal fitness, discipline and ruthlessness in front of goal. It would massively help our youngsters too and help us sign more top talents for the future.
If Ronaldo comes we could also re think our position on de gea whos value will boost the purchase as well when someone like Donna is available too for low prices because of his contract situation.
Come back to a place you were very good, there's a risk he isn't as good and tarnish the previous.
Also, it's so competitive here now even with him on board we might not win it still.
Go to PSG you do guarantee titles, he could look forward to an even sillier total of goals, and conquer a third league.
I still need to wake up but I want Ronaldo, Morata and De Gea all playing football at Old Trafford next season.
Edit. Im awake now. Please keep De Gea Jose...

Yes, would be awesome for Pogba, too. But still risky to lose him again, when he is on his prime like Ronnie. I want new players, who love United and give their best for the club. Herrara is a good example. Let´s build a new Ronnie with Mbappê and keep him this time. The price tag is to high for CR7, he is 32 for fecks sake. Would take him for maximum 70, not for 150.
Give me a break. United would probably make 100M on shirt sales and business marketing within the first few months of his transfer. We are a marketing powerhouse, and with Ronaldo fronting the team, shit I dread to think how much we'd make.
From the forum that crucified Sir Alex for supposed short-termism, and selfishness, in signing a 29 year old striker, this is quite remarkable. We now want a manager who doesn't play with this type of player, didn't get along with him previously, to move heaven and earth in order to sign him (this without even going into the manner in which he left previously). The levels of crazed infatuation with this person are noxious.
neither of them will ever get close to his class
Not gonna happen, but I would welcome world class players at the club.
Really a big surprise for me to see there's someone who voted no. Rejecting the best player on the planet to play for United.
he is also if not the best in the world then in the top 2
and jose want £100m for DDG!
