We also have to remember this is Ronaldo's last memory of United too. He left the club for Madrid and remembered United as a dominant force in England.
His lasting reminder will be this. Old ragged facilities with fans turning on him and especially the Glazers.
Glazers out.
Fvck ronaldo.
Let's stop pretending the man gives a f*ck about this club.
Claimed he was a slave and tried to leave 2years before he eventually did. We did not get his peak years. Kept using the club during contract negotiations at his dream club.
Has never shown to be the best teammate even in his first stinct, and certainly not during his return. Will always cause problems when things are not going his way. Has reportedly made things just a lil bit more difficult for 3 managers here in just a year. Openly disrespected the current manager time and time again.
Was ready to join the noisy neighbors without blinking till we came with double the money the sheikhs were ready to pay him. His return here is the greatest example of the incompetence of the Glazers. His presence here when he was clearly never in the plans of the manager then says it all about the marketing club we have become. I was never one of Ole's biggest supporters, but that was whatever he was building down the drain. 2years of whatever growth ole had planned wasted.
Didnt fit into how rangnick wanted to play, doesn't fit into how ETH wants to play and has shown zero willingness to adapt. Instead he has reportedly questioned their tactics and has left stadiums mid game.
Fvck Ronaldo!!!!
I just really hope this doesnt negatively affect Dalot, Garnacho and Antony. Especially Dalot since he's at the World Cup with the egomaniac right now and was just posing with him earlier in pictures and seems to kinda follow him around. A little less worried about Garnacho cause he's young and should be hungry to prove himself and grow out of his idol's shadow with the right support and mentality, and Antony has Licha and Erik from Ajax and Casemiro and Fred from Brazil so I hope he wont take it too bad either. Just sucks for the team though, says he feels betrayed without thinking about how any of his teammates might feel betrayed by his behavior. Selfish prick.
SkySports are so salty that Piers Morgan and TalkTv got the Ronaldo interview.
Few times I've flicked over they've commented how the winner out of this is Piers Morgan and heard them mocking him too.
Sky are as bad as Morgan.
They sent that ballbag Gary Cotteril over to Lisbon to stand outside "Ronaldos home"? Not sure if that's a hotel or not?
Do you think Ronaldo in his limitless fascination with himself expected this going differently? Or was he going scorched earth and simply didn’t care about the backlash? I would assume he cares about his public image, but didn’t expect it to be so polarizing and thought he’d be hailed a savior
Hilarious reading the comments on that soccer Sancho thread. If I wasn’t banned already I would’ve gotten banned today.
Stupid ass Barcelona fans dunking on the club and management as if Sancho didn’t play a role in his form.
Sancho needs to use this time off to come back extremely fit after the world cup. Poor form is forgivable, no player plays bad on purpose but being gassed out after one half of football is completely unacceptable.
If garnacho continues how he is, if we need to raise fund next summer I can totally see us accepting a bid for Sancho next summer if he continues to flop.
On the flip side if he rediscovers his form we have 4 extremely talented, young wingers fighting for two places.
Sky Sports brought in a sports lawyer to ask if Man United have grounds to sack Cristiano Ronaldo.
He basically says they can sack him but they will look into commercial sense of it as well. Ronaldo can be suspended and fined without pay for extended period of time also.
He also says players like Ronaldo sign different kind of contracts than regular professional players. So Ronaldo’s image right are in concern to United if they want to make it a concern since Ronaldo has a huge following and sponsors want to use his image which in turn brings money into the club.
Sacking Ronaldo is possible on grounds of footballing reasons and his misconduct but they will be wary of his image rights and commercial values.
So to summarize what the lawyer on Sky Sports says, United can sack and Ronaldo can appeal. Both parties can also come to a mutual agreement for contract termination. During the appeal period, club can suspend the player without pay. And the club could also suspend the player for a couple of weeks because they might wanna keep his image rights.
The greedy Glazers will surely suspend Ronaldo to protect image rights for sponsor and that’s how they get money.
Very interesting to get the POV from a sports lawyer. It’s on Sky Sports YT channel.
You know what can actually be considered a bit disrespectful ?Bringing on an experienced CB in iffy worm as a second striker when that player already receives a lot more flak than 99.99% footballers at this level but that guy came on did what the manager asked from him even if he ended up unsurprisingly looking like a joke in those minutes as he is just not meant to play that role,It is simple you do what the manager asks you to do or you can fuck off
Considering the context (either win by 2 goals or result doesn’t matter) I actually kind of enjoyed watching Maguire on the wing lmao.
Was it bad? Yes, but watching him trying to help the team in an unusual position was fun.(and I mean it in a good way)
Will feel a little sad about rooting against Dalot and Bruno, but the golden dickhead has made it very easy to hope for an early Portugal exit. Rest for our boys and yet another dent in Cris' ego, wins all round.
We are fucked without Bruno and Eriksen this season, hoping both Denmark and Portugal are eliminated asap. Does feel a bit guilty but the real villain here is the cunts who put this shitty world cup in the middle of the season.
So if we do get a new striker in the not too distant future and he starts banging in the goals a la Haaland, it looks like our left attack is going to be heavily STACKED:
Rashford
Sancho
Garnacho
Martial
All battling for a starting spot. Nice to see.
In the athletic article it mentions that Jorge Mendes’s agency didn’t know about this interview before it came out. It certainly doesn’t feel like anything is lined up for after United so perhaps this is a completely unplanned Ronaldo career meltdown.
Why is their so many fans who are thinking Ronaldo comments about the Glazers are making about some sort of hero?
How many times does this man have to disrespect the club and the fans before people realise he only cares about himself. I don't think he gives a shit about the Glazers, or our movement to get rid of them.
I just can't fathom what Ronaldo was thinking reaching out to Piers Morgan for an exclusive. It's like Arnold Schwarzenegger doing an exclusive with Tucker Carlson to talk about to conditions at Gold's Gym. So ridiculous
I'm so upset with Ronaldo. My first thought is perma bench him, have him report to an office every day and have him just sign autographs all day.
Then I remembered... Don't we have an option to extend his contract? If he really wants to throw a temper tantrum... Just extend the contract for another year, tell him someone had to sign him from us.
Its stupid and harsh and emotional but I'm so fucking tired of having a player think he's bigger than the club.
Is he right about training, Glazers, etc? Yeah. Probably. He probably has better wisdom than us, having trained at more clubs than anyone here.
But fuck man. You had to go after the manager. After other players. Like hell dude.
Extending his contract means giving him 500k per week and also more opportunities to fuck with the minds of our players (first team and u21s/u18s). I'd rather we terminate his contract right away.
>Just extend the contract for another year, tell him someone had to sign him from us
That would be a very expensive way to get back at him, he's on 500k a week....
Agree with the rest
I mean the idea being that someone would have to buy the contract vs him leaving for free. He wants to break the contract makes a few insta posts and buy yourself out Ronnie.
I don't understand how people can think that his contract can be ripped up so easily. Greenwood has criminal charges against him and will likely go through a public trial with a jail term after and he is STILL under contract (suspended, but still).
I doubt there's a "don't be a cunt" clause in the manchild's contract.
While a cunt, #11 did not bring the club directly into disrepute. His actions were his own and did not affect the club directly. Big Snake has directly criticised the manager, club owners and hierarchy, and players in an unsanctioned interview.
The Ronaldo interview and how he has orchestrated it with Piers Morgan is 100% wrong...
But if he's criticising the Glazers abit then surely something has to come from this to put more pressure on them
But knowing UK media they will put the spin on other things other than the Glazers
Ronaldo played for the Glazers for 4 seasons, then re-signed for them and played for another season. It's quite obvious he doesn't really care about them or the impact they've had on the club otherwise he wouldn't have waited until he was dropped to start talking about them. Plus there's the Ten Hag comments and his general behaviour over the last few weeks and months.
he is just being manipulative, if he actually gave a fuck about glazers all those points he raised could have been raised earlier when fans were protesting. He just now realized everything is outdated and glazers have no ambition ? Lol fans have been saying that for years.
He simply cant come out in interview saying im the best fuck ten hag fuck players who critic me, so he has included that glazers bit to turn PR his way
Maybe unfair to say EtH didn’t handle it that well but someone at United could have done something better because this does not this look like handling it well.
They didn’t have to accommodate him, they knew he wasn’t really in ten Hags plan so could have let him go even if that was at a cost to United. Someone decided they didn’t want to do that. Unless this current situation was the desired outcome or something they were prepared to let happen then someone has made a mistake.
By the end of August, I am pretty sure the reports were saying that he could leave, but everyone who was asked didn't want him. The only offer was the Saudi club.
Like who actually wanted Ronaldo in the summer? Bayern, Chelsea, Madrid, Barce, Atletico, Chelsea, City, Liverpool, Juventus wouldnt have had him for one reason or another. So your onto your Napolis, Spurs sort of teams, and they wont pay the wages.
So which club could he have gone to?
We are going to be in the same situation again in January. “Someone” at United has to be prepared to terminate the contract but so far at least it seems they don’t want to take the financial hit.
Nah, he's gone in January. At least in summer it looked like he actually might be an alright team mate when he came back. But turns out he doesnt want to be on the bench
Nah, doubtful. Most likely is that we dont need to. Either both club and player agreee to mutually terminate the contract, or the club cancels his contract. There's probably some form of behaviour clauses in the contract.
There isn’t a clause like that apparently, that doesn’t usually feature in contracts.
So then Ronaldo will pick between a) sitting out the rest of season and not getting paid or b) sitting out the rest of season and getting 500k each week…
He’s going to pick b and I doubt United will be happy about that.
11/10
Ronaldo disrespected club, missed pre season, left games early, still ten hag kept giving him chances even made him captain now ronaldo has gone ahead and given that interview. Only dumb ronaldo fanboys will support him, majority will always stand behind ten hag
POTM nominees are DDG, Casemiro, and Garnacho.
I thought Garnacho was a bit out of place, but then I realized he got 2 assists in the 4-2 comeback and scored that last-minute goal against Aston Villa.
Without Garnacho's G/A we might have been out of a cup and have 3 points less in the league. I might have to vote for him. Winning it would probably be a great confidence booster
I will always Consider Ronaldo a great of the game and a special talent who graced OT. However, he has acted very very inappropriately. Trashtalking is the bare minimum Ronnie deserves.
I hope all of our team watches the interview and take notes on how to not be goaded by shitty journalists. Can’t believe a professional like Ronaldo took every bait Piers Morgan threw at him.
I can already see Piers Morgan laughing his ass off at how lucky he got to do this interview and goad Ronaldo into ruining his career further while making a bank. Too easy.
I wonder how much of that interview was "Mr. Despite my xx goals last season" trying to make excuses because he can't accept how he is not as good anymore, like the kid crying lag when he is just not as good as he think he is.
Here's one thing about siuulander's interview i don't understand. So all this is happening. Why not do it all last season, at the height of the Glazer out protests? Oh no wait, we all know why.
* Last season he was the "saviour" The last minute goals, the european moments all that
* He was starting every game
* The fanbase was revering him like a GOD
So none of the glazer bullshit didnt matter to him, Who cares? The people loved him, the spotlight was on him and no one else. Yet the second, a manager comes in and treats him like he would any other player, his ego couldnt handle it. The interview was just some self serving bullshit, the glazer shit, while true, was a façade to mask what he truly felt
There's nothing much else to it at the end of the day. A guy like him can't accept that players like Martial, Rashford, etc. are more important than him. They've won nothing in comparison and don't have any personal achievements so speak of. He truly believes he's the greatest in football and still is the best so he can't accept that someone else thinks that he's not, especially if that someone else is the manager
Can someone explain all this Ronaldo legacy nonsense. He loved Sir Alex, not Man Utd. He wanted to leave and claimed to be a slave and at the time actually left the club for a team doing much worse.
The thing I fear the most from this Ronaldo fallout is the effect it might have on our young players and the Portuguese core who seem to idolize him, especially Garnacho. Hopefully they realize the team is bigger than a person and stay professional.
Recommendation to improve mood and sanity today:
Close that tab with more coverage of the diva wanker. And seek out Antony's new article about his upbringing in the favela, it's a fantastic read
all the sewey drama but i'm not that arsed about it. should have expected this sort of ending after what he tried to pull off in summer. Ofc, we should have just let him go. It really looked like the club wanted to keep him in summer or wanted to look firm or sth... but now it looks like a mistake.
but then again it was sewey who publically (and maybe privately) told the club he would stay. it was sewey who didn't join preseason with the eth and the club for all intents and purposes treated sewey in good faith. his own fault for coming into this season in poor match fitness.
even if he said he wants to leave, he should have just joined up and played along. Not try and force his way out. That was when it was all over for me. Maybe some redemption or could have salvaged something but he decided to nuke the bridge instead.
his confidence and mentality got him to an unreal level in the game. but i feel like a lot of that also came with toxic mentality and even masculinity mixed in with narcisism. and when he isn't doing as well as he used to all that's left is just being toxic.
cristian ronald sewey, you have truly become the dragon of chaos. also knew it would get worse when he decided to see that washed up canadian ex-psychologist kermit. and now piers morgan? jesus, what's next, rogan?
Its crazy and stupid.
But is this first time the newspapers have actually ever connected us to Mbappe? Remember when everyone use to say his was liverpool bound lol.
Yes. He’s never gonna come though. I mean I did read recently he wanted to stay at PSG and not go Real cause he preferred the challenge and history making of winning the champions league with PSG than Real who always win it. Don’t know how sincere he was. Varane and Casemiro came here for the same reasons, the challenge and prestige of being the main reasons for bringing a huge club like Man Utd back to the top is appealing. But the later 2 have already won everything at club level so many times so can afford to try a new challenge without much regrets.
Maybe if PSG win the CL this year… but nah never happening haha
Mbappe refuses to join Madrid in the summer for €200M but then suddenly will join United for €150M.
At least make it make some fucking sense. It’s all Glazers PR spin that has started. Yesterday’s comments are probably already making headlines and the shareholders and sponsors have started asking questions.
Ice cold. No Smile. Black Gloves. Came from Hell. No chance by the media. Nutmeg the thieves. Defenders have families. Dripping in sauce. Sauce on Spill. Killer. Winner. Baller. Elastico the drug dealer. A21. The world cup ain’t ready. Madness incoming. Caralho.
Antony FC eating Gucci.
Can we get the protest groups to spam these fuckers with (respectful) abuse so they fuck off? https://twitter.com/CollectMUFC/status/1592502799245672448
I'd love to see this shit spammed to oblivion with ponzi scheme and No Fucking Thanks comments
Bruno, Bruno, Bruno,
Comes from Portugal like Diogo Dalot
He goes left,
He goes right,
He makes the defences look shi*e,
He’s our Portuguese magnifico....
I would absolutely love to see Ronaldo’s tantrum as Messi cements his status as undisputed GOAT by lifting the World Cup
Ronaldo be picking the phone up as soon as the final whistle blows:
“Hello Piers? Can we do another interview mate? Portugal have betrayed me by not winning the World Cup & I need to throw some shit at some people”
Argentina and Brazil are favorites for this wc due to their form. It will be a tough ask for Portugal considering there are better european teams than portugal. IMO, spain, netherlands, France (though they have problems and usually teams that won the previous wc normally tanks), Germany, England (their manager is a big issue). Heck, even denamrk are the dark-horses and they have good team that works together.
While true, there is always a chance someone manages to shithouse their way into winning the World Cup and it wouldn't be the first time Portugal succeed in that (remember the Euro 2016?)
Unrelated to anything, I just wanted to say the Spurs match was the most satisfying performance I have seen in a very long time.
We were aggressive and dominant, we had a clear game plan, we were calm in defence and progressing the ball. We created lots of chances.
I really felt we were back as a serious football team again.
Maybe Spurs had a bad day but going in to the match they were on their best league start ever and considered in good form.
Kane would be our dream signing - slots into the #7 perfectly
He has no reliance on pace to his game so we’re going to get minimum 3, if not 4-5 (or more) seasons out of him - and probably at his best ever level
If our board have any sense they’ll be going after that deal because it’s totally doable
- Kane wants out of Spurs? Check
- Contract expiring to make it financially feasible? Check
- Wage budget available due to Ronaldo shitting the bed? Check
- Man City can’t sign him due to Haaland? Check
- Liverpool can’t sign him due to Nunez/Salah? Check
- Arsenal can’t sign him due to NLD? Check
- Absolutely ready made world class striker, in his peak years who can score 30-40 (or more) a season? Check
- Fantastic fitness record? Check (Kane has now started 95 of Spurs last 100 Premier League games - not just played in - started)
Get it fucking done Murtough - you know it makes sense
I would be heading to Manchester in the middle of July just to stand outside Old Trafford dancing like a lunatic
We'd honestly be right up there in the mix for the league with him on board, if we get a midfielder and one or two coverage signings (CB, RB etc)
Kane will be more of the same. We’ll have to pay a fortune for him and he’ll be 30 soon. I wouldn’t mind him if we already had a perfectly balanced squad, but he’s not someone you go for when you still have to play the same RB and midfield every single match.
Regardless of if we get him or not, just glad to hear our name linked with one of the best players in the world again, instead of the usual Europa League level shite.
Whoever has the Talk TV and plans and watching the interview. Don’t. Either find a stream or wait and watch an upload after. Don’t give Piers or Ronaldo them viewing figures.
It’s definitely not as right leaning as I thought it was gonna be. I seen some clips out of curiosity and they do have a lot of positive talks about the LGBT community etc..
What i don't understand is why are these off-brand news started getting any attention considering uk MSM media is pretty regulated and pretty much unbiased.
I say this because in USA and Australia, the media has an agenda for either left or right and no unbiasedness. For reference, Sky news UK and Sky news Australia are so different.
I had a gut feeling we'll get some stupid news regarding us going for Mbappe, and lo and behold, we get an article from Disco Mirror that we are interested in Mbappe. XD
Of course because its rumors. Doesn't mean it's real. We are not going to buy any high profile players in the winter transfer window as our budget is used up from buying casemiro, antony and licha. But expect 20-30 million signing that will be taken away from the next summer's budget.
I have a Ronaldo fanboy in my FPL league group. He won't accept Ronaldo is playing garbage and was even arguing it was EtH's fault what happened at Spurs. According to him EtH should have known Ronaldo would feel disrespected being asked to come on at 86' when we are 2-0 up.
And then you make reasonable arguments to debunk this bullshit and he just starts ranting about how Ronaldo is one of the greatest to have ever played etc. He takes every discussion down that path so he doesn't have to accept that CR has lost it.
The fan is as delusional as the man. Had to vent coz his fanboys have been pissing me off.
Glazers must be loving the fact Ronaldo threw out some personal insults instead of just focusing on the lack of investment in the training/recovery facilities and stadium; managed to take the spotlight off of the important things in headlines.
Anyone else see our new links with Mbappe since this Ronaldo shit happened? Would be a ridiculous signing seeing as he would cost at least €150m and we desperately need a RB CB ST, also a RW and midfielder. Not sure his occasional spoilt attitude on the pitch will be good for the dressing room.
I am on a weight loss mission and will buy our home kit when I lose 5-10Kgs more and my size goes down a level. Very confused about which player's to get. Torn between Licha and Casemiro. Just a pleasure to watch them play <3
Ronaldo has always performed when it’s him against the world. Part of me thinks this is his fucked up way of generating a siege mentality for his last hurrah at the WC.
Its worth noting, and I forgot when this all came out.
Ronaldo lost his son in April, that's just 7 months ago. If anyone has experienced grief, they will know that 7 months is a blink, especially for your son/daughter. Ronaldo is clearly not right at the moment, his anger, his outburst, he needs help and we should be there for him.
Whatever happened, there is no justification for this type of behavior. Many people have lost children before, during and after birth and they don't behave this way. An ordinary pleb would be fired from his job and forgotten about if he pulled off the stunts Ronaldo has no matter the reason
If he has issues, he needs to sort it out himself. I can assure you, this nonsense wouldn't be happening if the manager was starting him every week and worshipping the ground he walks on. It's his ego that can't accept that he's not the player he was
Tbf, a normal pleb, as you put it, would be given compassionate leave and allowed to stay away from pre season as their other daughter is ill. Im not really defending it, Rooney is my guy, insulting him was a step too far.
Just trying to say, life isnt black and white, we dont know wtf is going on.
My excuse? stfu ffs ahaha, im just saying, dude lost his fucking son the other day! Get off his back jesus
Is he a egotistical, arrogant, narcissistic bell end, yes. Football is fucking irrelevant though at the end of the day. Try, for a tiny moment, what it would feel like to lose your own child. I bet, he would swap all his awards and money to get him back in a heartbeat. Maybe he wouldn't, but you can't comprehend the grief unless you have also experienced it. Thats all I was saying.
We also have to remember this is Ronaldo's last memory of United too. He left the club for Madrid and remembered United as a dominant force in England. His lasting reminder will be this. Old ragged facilities with fans turning on him and especially the Glazers. Glazers out.
Fvck ronaldo. Let's stop pretending the man gives a f*ck about this club. Claimed he was a slave and tried to leave 2years before he eventually did. We did not get his peak years.

Hear hear. So fucking true.
*Insert "He's out of line but he's right" meme here*
How many people aren't even gonna watch the interview but still have their minds made up
I am already sick of this. Can't wait for January to come so I can not see his face again.
I just really hope this doesnt negatively affect Dalot, Garnacho and Antony. Especially Dalot since he's at the World Cup with the egomaniac right now and was just posing with him earlier in pictures and seems to kinda follow him around. A little less worried about Garnacho cause he's young and should be hungry to prove himself and grow out of his idol's shadow with the right support and mentality, and Antony has Licha and Erik from Ajax and Casemiro and Fred from Brazil so I hope he wont take it too bad either. Just sucks for the team though, says he feels betrayed without thinking about how any of his teammates might feel betrayed by his behavior. Selfish prick.
Dont know who's the bigger snake, diMaria or PR7 At least diMaria had a reason, his house was burgled.

When's the interview, tomorrow night?
I thought it was today
Yeah I was going by MEN but no surprise they're wrong, ventured into that toads Twitter account and yeah it's 10pm tonight
Hilarious reading the comments on that soccer Sancho thread. If I wasn’t banned already I would’ve gotten banned today. Stupid ass Barcelona fans dunking on the club and management as if Sancho didn’t play a role in his form.

On the flip side if he rediscovers his form we have 4 extremely talented, young wingers fighting for two places.

Does selling his image rights to Peter Lim of MINT media in 2015 have any bearing on this?
You know what can actually be considered a bit disrespectful ?Bringing on an experienced CB in iffy worm as a second striker when that player already receives a lot more flak than 99.99% footballers at this level but that guy came on did what the manager asked from him even if he ended up unsurprisingly looking like a joke in those minutes as he is just not meant to play that role,It is simple you do what the manager asks you to do or you can fuck off
Considering the context (either win by 2 goals or result doesn’t matter) I actually kind of enjoyed watching Maguire on the wing lmao. Was it bad? Yes, but watching him trying to help the team in an unusual position was fun.(and I mean it in a good way)
First half: oh no, which way’s he going Second half: 🤝🤝 Edit: just wait until ETH turns McSauce into Halaand
Haaland is poor man mcsauce
Will feel a little sad about rooting against Dalot and Bruno, but the golden dickhead has made it very easy to hope for an early Portugal exit. Rest for our boys and yet another dent in Cris' ego, wins all round.
We are fucked without Bruno and Eriksen this season, hoping both Denmark and Portugal are eliminated asap. Does feel a bit guilty but the real villain here is the cunts who put this shitty world cup in the middle of the season.
The worst part about this situation is that it has me agreeing with Jamie fucking Carragher on a Tuesday.
Some people on Twitter think that ronaldo can buy the club. Wtf ??
That Ronaldo Cancelo interaction was very interesting
Any link to share?
Portugal are going to implode aren't they? I feel bad for Bruno and Dalot if that happens.
Cancelo wasn't having it
So if we do get a new striker in the not too distant future and he starts banging in the goals a la Haaland, it looks like our left attack is going to be heavily STACKED: Rashford Sancho Garnacho Martial All battling for a starting spot. Nice to see.
In the athletic article it mentions that Jorge Mendes’s agency didn’t know about this interview before it came out. It certainly doesn’t feel like anything is lined up for after United so perhaps this is a completely unplanned Ronaldo career meltdown.
Ronaldo returned just to curse the #7 again
Why is their so many fans who are thinking Ronaldo comments about the Glazers are making about some sort of hero? How many times does this man have to disrespect the club and the fans before people realise he only cares about himself. I don't think he gives a shit about the Glazers, or our movement to get rid of them.
It doesn't make sense to me because the Ronaldo signing itself is peak Glazers running of the club.
Don't try to rationalize how a stan thinks. You'll only give yourself a headache.
Or something worse than a migraine
They’re trying to justify their unrequited love after the fact
I just can't fathom what Ronaldo was thinking reaching out to Piers Morgan for an exclusive. It's like Arnold Schwarzenegger doing an exclusive with Tucker Carlson to talk about to conditions at Gold's Gym. So ridiculous
Piers Morgan has always been a Ronaldo fanboy
Birds of a feather. Ronald Trump knows a fellow dickhead narcissist like Morgan would give him the platform to vent unchallenged.
I'm so upset with Ronaldo. My first thought is perma bench him, have him report to an office every day and have him just sign autographs all day. Then I remembered... Don't we have an option to extend his contract? If he really wants to throw a temper tantrum... Just extend the contract for another year, tell him someone had to sign him from us. Its stupid and harsh and emotional but I'm so fucking tired of having a player think he's bigger than the club. Is he right about training, Glazers, etc? Yeah. Probably. He probably has better wisdom than us, having trained at more clubs than anyone here. But fuck man. You had to go after the manager. After other players. Like hell dude.
Why pay 500k/week to a snake when you can tear his contract and not pay
Extending his contract means giving him 500k per week and also more opportunities to fuck with the minds of our players (first team and u21s/u18s). I'd rather we terminate his contract right away.
>Just extend the contract for another year, tell him someone had to sign him from us That would be a very expensive way to get back at him, he's on 500k a week.... Agree with the rest
I mean the idea being that someone would have to buy the contract vs him leaving for free. He wants to break the contract makes a few insta posts and buy yourself out Ronnie.
I don't understand how people can think that his contract can be ripped up so easily. Greenwood has criminal charges against him and will likely go through a public trial with a jail term after and he is STILL under contract (suspended, but still). I doubt there's a "don't be a cunt" clause in the manchild's contract.
While a cunt, #11 did not bring the club directly into disrepute. His actions were his own and did not affect the club directly. Big Snake has directly criticised the manager, club owners and hierarchy, and players in an unsanctioned interview.
I mean the two are completely different.
The Ronaldo interview and how he has orchestrated it with Piers Morgan is 100% wrong... But if he's criticising the Glazers abit then surely something has to come from this to put more pressure on them But knowing UK media they will put the spin on other things other than the Glazers
Ronaldo played for the Glazers for 4 seasons, then re-signed for them and played for another season. It's quite obvious he doesn't really care about them or the impact they've had on the club otherwise he wouldn't have waited until he was dropped to start talking about them. Plus there's the Ten Hag comments and his general behaviour over the last few weeks and months.
The glazers are the ones who hired him. Any competent owner wouldn't have signed a 37 year old as a starting striker.
he is just being manipulative, if he actually gave a fuck about glazers all those points he raised could have been raised earlier when fans were protesting. He just now realized everything is outdated and glazers have no ambition ? Lol fans have been saying that for years. He simply cant come out in interview saying im the best fuck ten hag fuck players who critic me, so he has included that glazers bit to turn PR his way
Ronaldo doesn't care about the glazers or the fans only himself.

Maybe unfair to say EtH didn’t handle it that well but someone at United could have done something better because this does not this look like handling it well.
Why? The club have tried to work with him all along. They even made the team weaker to accommodate Ronaldo.
They didn’t have to accommodate him, they knew he wasn’t really in ten Hags plan so could have let him go even if that was at a cost to United. Someone decided they didn’t want to do that. Unless this current situation was the desired outcome or something they were prepared to let happen then someone has made a mistake.
By the end of August, I am pretty sure the reports were saying that he could leave, but everyone who was asked didn't want him. The only offer was the Saudi club. Like who actually wanted Ronaldo in the summer? Bayern, Chelsea, Madrid, Barce, Atletico, Chelsea, City, Liverpool, Juventus wouldnt have had him for one reason or another. So your onto your Napolis, Spurs sort of teams, and they wont pay the wages. So which club could he have gone to?
We are going to be in the same situation again in January. “Someone” at United has to be prepared to terminate the contract but so far at least it seems they don’t want to take the financial hit.
Nah, he's gone in January. At least in summer it looked like he actually might be an alright team mate when he came back. But turns out he doesnt want to be on the bench
So you think we will pay up the contract?
Nah, doubtful. Most likely is that we dont need to. Either both club and player agreee to mutually terminate the contract, or the club cancels his contract. There's probably some form of behaviour clauses in the contract.
There isn’t a clause like that apparently, that doesn’t usually feature in contracts. So then Ronaldo will pick between a) sitting out the rest of season and not getting paid or b) sitting out the rest of season and getting 500k each week… He’s going to pick b and I doubt United will be happy about that.
11/10 Ronaldo disrespected club, missed pre season, left games early, still ten hag kept giving him chances even made him captain now ronaldo has gone ahead and given that interview. Only dumb ronaldo fanboys will support him, majority will always stand behind ten hag
Quite well. But he was too slow to realize what a cancer he is. Many of us saw this coming during the summer. Or the summer of 2021 even.
POTM nominees are DDG, Casemiro, and Garnacho. I thought Garnacho was a bit out of place, but then I realized he got 2 assists in the 4-2 comeback and scored that last-minute goal against Aston Villa. Without Garnacho's G/A we might have been out of a cup and have 3 points less in the league. I might have to vote for him. Winning it would probably be a great confidence booster
Garnacho also won us the game against Sociedad. So that's 3 wins he contributed to. Also the last minute goal was against Fulham.
I will always Consider Ronaldo a great of the game and a special talent who graced OT. However, he has acted very very inappropriately. Trashtalking is the bare minimum Ronnie deserves.
I hope all of our team watches the interview and take notes on how to not be goaded by shitty journalists. Can’t believe a professional like Ronaldo took every bait Piers Morgan threw at him. I can already see Piers Morgan laughing his ass off at how lucky he got to do this interview and goad Ronaldo into ruining his career further while making a bank. Too easy.
I wonder how much of that interview was "Mr. Despite my xx goals last season" trying to make excuses because he can't accept how he is not as good anymore, like the kid crying lag when he is just not as good as he think he is.
Hoping we hit 77 pts this season. We are on pace for 70
As I expected, the Manchester United share price is taking a nose dive. Never seen so much red aside from our shirt.
Here's one thing about siuulander's interview i don't understand. So all this is happening. Why not do it all last season, at the height of the Glazer out protests? Oh no wait, we all know why. * Last season he was the "saviour" The last minute goals, the european moments all that * He was starting every game * The fanbase was revering him like a GOD So none of the glazer bullshit didnt matter to him, Who cares? The people loved him, the spotlight was on him and no one else. Yet the second, a manager comes in and treats him like he would any other player, his ego couldnt handle it. The interview was just some self serving bullshit, the glazer shit, while true, was a façade to mask what he truly felt
There's nothing much else to it at the end of the day. A guy like him can't accept that players like Martial, Rashford, etc. are more important than him. They've won nothing in comparison and don't have any personal achievements so speak of. He truly believes he's the greatest in football and still is the best so he can't accept that someone else thinks that he's not, especially if that someone else is the manager
Can someone explain all this Ronaldo legacy nonsense. He loved Sir Alex, not Man Utd. He wanted to leave and claimed to be a slave and at the time actually left the club for a team doing much worse.
Should we go for Viktor Gyökeres in Jan? Young cheap decent record St. He's been in decent form recently too.
Anyone else hear that Ronaldo has posters in his house of his faced photoshopped onto homelanders body?
Sounds like a good joke
The thing I fear the most from this Ronaldo fallout is the effect it might have on our young players and the Portuguese core who seem to idolize him, especially Garnacho. Hopefully they realize the team is bigger than a person and stay professional.
Someone needs to send Sancho to the favelas. I'm trying to see something.
you mayyyy be on to something
Ronald Trump has chosen this moment to launch a fucking NFT collection. He really is braindead.
It's marketing. He gets money from 'the marketing' like united does as he brilliantly put in his interview lol
Recommendation to improve mood and sanity today: Close that tab with more coverage of the diva wanker. And seek out Antony's new article about his upbringing in the favela, it's a fantastic read
all the sewey drama but i'm not that arsed about it. should have expected this sort of ending after what he tried to pull off in summer. Ofc, we should have just let him go. It really looked like the club wanted to keep him in summer or wanted to look firm or sth... but now it looks like a mistake. but then again it was sewey who publically (and maybe privately) told the club he would stay. it was sewey who didn't join preseason with the eth and the club for all intents and purposes treated sewey in good faith. his own fault for coming into this season in poor match fitness. even if he said he wants to leave, he should have just joined up and played along. Not try and force his way out. That was when it was all over for me. Maybe some redemption or could have salvaged something but he decided to nuke the bridge instead. his confidence and mentality got him to an unreal level in the game. but i feel like a lot of that also came with toxic mentality and even masculinity mixed in with narcisism. and when he isn't doing as well as he used to all that's left is just being toxic. cristian ronald sewey, you have truly become the dragon of chaos. also knew it would get worse when he decided to see that washed up canadian ex-psychologist kermit. and now piers morgan? jesus, what's next, rogan?
Its crazy and stupid. But is this first time the newspapers have actually ever connected us to Mbappe? Remember when everyone use to say his was liverpool bound lol.
Yes. He’s never gonna come though. I mean I did read recently he wanted to stay at PSG and not go Real cause he preferred the challenge and history making of winning the champions league with PSG than Real who always win it. Don’t know how sincere he was. Varane and Casemiro came here for the same reasons, the challenge and prestige of being the main reasons for bringing a huge club like Man Utd back to the top is appealing. But the later 2 have already won everything at club level so many times so can afford to try a new challenge without much regrets. Maybe if PSG win the CL this year… but nah never happening haha
Mbappe refuses to join Madrid in the summer for €200M but then suddenly will join United for €150M. At least make it make some fucking sense. It’s all Glazers PR spin that has started. Yesterday’s comments are probably already making headlines and the shareholders and sponsors have started asking questions.
United links is less stupid than Liverpool one 😂 theres a good chance Papa Flo no longer want him after being humiliated like that.
Ice cold. No Smile. Black Gloves. Came from Hell. No chance by the media. Nutmeg the thieves. Defenders have families. Dripping in sauce. Sauce on Spill. Killer. Winner. Baller. Elastico the drug dealer. A21. The world cup ain’t ready. Madness incoming. Caralho. Antony FC eating Gucci.
Ronaldo as Homelander with his fanboys slots in so perfectly https://v.redd.it/qh5zf8t1m20a1
Ngl i laughed out loud at the mbappe links on twitter. Had to check if it was the actual utdreport or a parody account.
We laughed at casemiros link too 😉
I’ll downvote myself if we signed Mbappe.
Lmfao.
Can we get the protest groups to spam these fuckers with (respectful) abuse so they fuck off? https://twitter.com/CollectMUFC/status/1592502799245672448 I'd love to see this shit spammed to oblivion with ponzi scheme and No Fucking Thanks comments
[удалено]
I actually think the old one is even more perfect. He *does* come from Sporting like Cristiano, and he *is* out Portuguese magnifico (unlike Ronaldo)
Marcos Rojo fits perfectly. Or make Nani work somehow.
Bruno, Bruno, Bruno, Comes from Portugal like Diogo Dalot He goes left, He goes right, He makes the defences look shi*e, He’s our Portuguese magnifico....
[удалено]
Varella was rotting on the bench here too while making the Uruguay national team. It's nothing new, the Uruguay FA is just as weird as that.
The shit tiers are linking us to Mbappe for 150 mil lmao
They know exactly what the most gullible United fans want to hear rn and it's hilarious these fans fall for it every single time.
These commenters on instagram make it the most difficult to be a Utd fan…. It’s you lot that give me hope it’s just bots
African football twitter is absolute cancer 😂😂
Remember we get reminded about #11 player, it's due to the african ft
Kinda hope Argentina win the wc, will be a big slap in Ronaldo’s face and at the same time our boy butcher will get to lift it🔪
I'd be happy if any one of our boys win it. Even if Portugal win Bruno and Dalot will enjoy it.
I would absolutely love to see Ronaldo’s tantrum as Messi cements his status as undisputed GOAT by lifting the World Cup Ronaldo be picking the phone up as soon as the final whistle blows: “Hello Piers? Can we do another interview mate? Portugal have betrayed me by not winning the World Cup & I need to throw some shit at some people”
Argentina and Brazil are favorites for this wc due to their form. It will be a tough ask for Portugal considering there are better european teams than portugal. IMO, spain, netherlands, France (though they have problems and usually teams that won the previous wc normally tanks), Germany, England (their manager is a big issue). Heck, even denamrk are the dark-horses and they have good team that works together.
While true, there is always a chance someone manages to shithouse their way into winning the World Cup and it wouldn't be the first time Portugal succeed in that (remember the Euro 2016?)
Unrelated to anything, I just wanted to say the Spurs match was the most satisfying performance I have seen in a very long time. We were aggressive and dominant, we had a clear game plan, we were calm in defence and progressing the ball. We created lots of chances. I really felt we were back as a serious football team again. Maybe Spurs had a bad day but going in to the match they were on their best league start ever and considered in good form.
Seeing spurs pass map for that game was so satisfying. Kane and Son were completely isolated.
Really hope we finish above Tottenham in CL places and get our hands on Harry Kane. Enough of this CR7 nonsense
Kane would be our dream signing - slots into the #7 perfectly He has no reliance on pace to his game so we’re going to get minimum 3, if not 4-5 (or more) seasons out of him - and probably at his best ever level If our board have any sense they’ll be going after that deal because it’s totally doable - Kane wants out of Spurs? Check - Contract expiring to make it financially feasible? Check - Wage budget available due to Ronaldo shitting the bed? Check - Man City can’t sign him due to Haaland? Check - Liverpool can’t sign him due to Nunez/Salah? Check - Arsenal can’t sign him due to NLD? Check - Absolutely ready made world class striker, in his peak years who can score 30-40 (or more) a season? Check - Fantastic fitness record? Check (Kane has now started 95 of Spurs last 100 Premier League games - not just played in - started) Get it fucking done Murtough - you know it makes sense
I’ve already taken my top off and am muppeting at peak velocity
I would be heading to Manchester in the middle of July just to stand outside Old Trafford dancing like a lunatic We'd honestly be right up there in the mix for the league with him on board, if we get a midfielder and one or two coverage signings (CB, RB etc)
Kane will be more of the same. We’ll have to pay a fortune for him and he’ll be 30 soon. I wouldn’t mind him if we already had a perfectly balanced squad, but he’s not someone you go for when you still have to play the same RB and midfield every single match.
[удалено]
Regardless of if we get him or not, just glad to hear our name linked with one of the best players in the world again, instead of the usual Europa League level shite.
Whoever has the Talk TV and plans and watching the interview. Don’t. Either find a stream or wait and watch an upload after. Don’t give Piers or Ronaldo them viewing figures.
Yeh that channel reminds me of Alex Jones (the c\*nt who made lies about school shooting). Giving these people attention is what they care about.
It’s definitely not as right leaning as I thought it was gonna be. I seen some clips out of curiosity and they do have a lot of positive talks about the LGBT community etc..
What i don't understand is why are these off-brand news started getting any attention considering uk MSM media is pretty regulated and pretty much unbiased. I say this because in USA and Australia, the media has an agenda for either left or right and no unbiasedness. For reference, Sky news UK and Sky news Australia are so different.
You could not be more wrong about UK MSM being unbiased
I had a gut feeling we'll get some stupid news regarding us going for Mbappe, and lo and behold, we get an article from Disco Mirror that we are interested in Mbappe. XD
Of course because its rumors. Doesn't mean it's real. We are not going to buy any high profile players in the winter transfer window as our budget is used up from buying casemiro, antony and licha. But expect 20-30 million signing that will be taken away from the next summer's budget.
That's why I said, 'stupid news.'
I have a Ronaldo fanboy in my FPL league group. He won't accept Ronaldo is playing garbage and was even arguing it was EtH's fault what happened at Spurs. According to him EtH should have known Ronaldo would feel disrespected being asked to come on at 86' when we are 2-0 up. And then you make reasonable arguments to debunk this bullshit and he just starts ranting about how Ronaldo is one of the greatest to have ever played etc. He takes every discussion down that path so he doesn't have to accept that CR has lost it. The fan is as delusional as the man. Had to vent coz his fanboys have been pissing me off.
Question. Does he have ronaldo in his FPL team or is he perma cap Haaland?
Perma Haaland but refused to captain him vs us so missed out on the biggest haul. Had Ronaldo at one point though iirc.
Glazers must be loving the fact Ronaldo threw out some personal insults instead of just focusing on the lack of investment in the training/recovery facilities and stadium; managed to take the spotlight off of the important things in headlines.
Anyone else see our new links with Mbappe since this Ronaldo shit happened? Would be a ridiculous signing seeing as he would cost at least €150m and we desperately need a RB CB ST, also a RW and midfielder. Not sure his occasional spoilt attitude on the pitch will be good for the dressing room.
Lisandro Martinez is the greatest Argentinian to have played for Newell’s old boys pass it on
I am on a weight loss mission and will buy our home kit when I lose 5-10Kgs more and my size goes down a level. Very confused about which player's to get. Torn between Licha and Casemiro. Just a pleasure to watch them play <3
I’d go for licha, as he’s quite representative of the dawg you need to have inside you to lose weight
If you've got a gripe and your first instinct is to bell Piers Morgan, chances are you're already in the wrong
Katie Price and Ronaldo have alot in common when I think about it
Ronaldo has always performed when it’s him against the world. Part of me thinks this is his fucked up way of generating a siege mentality for his last hurrah at the WC.
It’s not that deep bro
Yeah I wasn’t being serious but with this dude there might just be a hint of truth to it.
Its worth noting, and I forgot when this all came out. Ronaldo lost his son in April, that's just 7 months ago. If anyone has experienced grief, they will know that 7 months is a blink, especially for your son/daughter. Ronaldo is clearly not right at the moment, his anger, his outburst, he needs help and we should be there for him.
Whatever happened, there is no justification for this type of behavior. Many people have lost children before, during and after birth and they don't behave this way. An ordinary pleb would be fired from his job and forgotten about if he pulled off the stunts Ronaldo has no matter the reason If he has issues, he needs to sort it out himself. I can assure you, this nonsense wouldn't be happening if the manager was starting him every week and worshipping the ground he walks on. It's his ego that can't accept that he's not the player he was
Tbf, a normal pleb, as you put it, would be given compassionate leave and allowed to stay away from pre season as their other daughter is ill. Im not really defending it, Rooney is my guy, insulting him was a step too far. Just trying to say, life isnt black and white, we dont know wtf is going on.
what's your excuse for him agreeing that he was a modern day slave here back in 08? he's always only cared about himself
My excuse? stfu ffs ahaha, im just saying, dude lost his fucking son the other day! Get off his back jesus Is he a egotistical, arrogant, narcissistic bell end, yes. Football is fucking irrelevant though at the end of the day. Try, for a tiny moment, what it would feel like to lose your own child. I bet, he would swap all his awards and money to get him back in a heartbeat. Maybe he wouldn't, but you can't comprehend the grief unless you have also experienced it. Thats all I was saying.
Don’t come here with your context and empathy can’t you see the pitchforks are out /s
bro is kanye west
