    This is why I'm thankful I play Sorare rather than standard Fantasy Football. My choices are limited by what cards I have so it makes picking my team each round much easier :)

    Although I've been doing so well recently and won so many cards that unless I sell some I'm going to start having those same issues

    Cant believe some folk are questioning this. CR is a match winner, a world class player and he brings plenty on and off the pitch. Sancho, Greenwood and Rashford will learn so much...

    An absolutely cracking signing. Will score 25+ this season.

    Tenner Burns units bet says he doesn't score 25+.
    Fancy the bet mate?

    In all comps? Yes.

    Interested why you think he doesnt. He is the greatest goalscorer of all time.

    A laughable article published by a joke of a news outlet. Always going against the grain for views...

    He had his best season in a Juve shirt last season statistically. Did all he could. Failures down to team mates and Pirlo.

    I think 15-20 in PL. Missed first 3 and needs to be brought up to speed. A few in that squad capable of scoring too. He will bag in CL though and cup games so think 25 very dooable.

    The only valid point is that the amount spent on him by Juve did impact their ability to construct a team especially when COVID hit but that’s hardly the case at United. It’s £12mill upfront which is peanuts and unlike Italian clubs which have largely struggled financially compared to England and even Spain and Germany that’s not an issue.

    As for calling him immobile, did they watch that goal he scored at the Euros, the one where he headed the ball away from a corner and then got up the pitch to put away the pass for a goal. That’s pretty good for an immobile player

    As I said, I don't necessarily agree with it.

    Supposedly medical passed, personal terms agreed (2 years + a further year option). Just waiting on the Visa to do the unavailing announcement. Talk is it might be tomorrow

    He’s 12.5m and classed as a forward. Tricky one. I’d say Kane and Lukaku are probably better value. All depends how much gametime he gets I guess.

    Its an excellent signing. Commercially it pays for itself. Emotionally, it'll boost the atmosphere at the ground. In terms of talent he's still a world class forward. In terms of character he may have the same effect on the developing young players as the likes of Cantona did. In terms of inspiration, he may give that extra couple of percent to many other players.

    Its an outstanding signing.

    I see see United as likely finishing 3rd though, behind Man City and Chelsea.

    I have yet to hear any past player/manager say anything other than a great piece of business, still one of the best players in the world, Roy Keane and Graeme Souness were both saying the same as your above, a mature player, still very fit, financially a no brainer, and what he can offer the likes of Rashford, Greenwood, Sancho etc, not forgetting the emotional effect on fans and staff at Old Trafford.
    Very similar to the return of McCall when Geoff brought our talisman back.

    Apparently Man Utd have sold over £32m of shirts in first 12 hours with Ronaldo 7 on. That means they have recouped over a quarter of his transfer fee.

    Not a bad start to his second spell at Old Trafford.

    Judging by his second goal, he doesn’t look to have lost any pace. Unbelievable player. I can see him playing at the top level until he’s 40.
