    Was really depressed thinking he was going to City until Ole's press conference. Since then the days just got better and better.

    Do find it weird how so many people are almost writing him off though. He outscored Lukaku in a Juve team that was as weak as it been in a long time (while Inter is the strongest its been for ages) yet everyone is acting like Lukaku at £100mill is a bargain but £12.8mill for Ronaldo is nowhere near as good apparently. You saw that goal he scored in the Euros that he is as fit and capable as even those much younger than him

    My grandson is a closet Man U fan and when he told me he'd returned to United instead of City I commented he's nothing to prove he's been there and done it at SportingCP, United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, for me that would be the reason I would have him before Messi, not saying for one minute Messi wouldn't have done well at every club he'd been at it's something we'll never know.
    A 2 year contract but he could perform at Premiership level for 3 possibly 4 seasons with the right players around him.
    In my opinion a better signing than Kane and obviously great business for £20m, United will recoup that in shirt sales.

    Unfortunately for United though they will never win anything significant until they change manager

    Just when I thought they were getting it right.

    It's about winning and Utd are still not going to be winning but now blocking talent.

    If it was commercial possibilities Juve would have kept him. He's on about 500k per week. The signing has to be about winning.

    Seriously you don't think Ronaldo can hold his own in this United team, I would have thought he'd be a great signing to help bring the kids on, certainly the likes of Greenwood and Rashford will learn from him.

    You don't get it do you! He starts no matter what. If you are Greenwood or Rashford or Cavani or even Sancho now you thinking deep down.

    Him walking straight in there and taking someone's spot, then? No questions asked? "Yes, sir Ronny! Oooh, suites you, Sir. Oooh. No bench for you, sir!" That's bound to leave a bit of a turd in the middle of the dressing room floor.

    Utd don't learn.

    He'll be asking Cavani for the #7 shirt.

    Expect to see Utd players leaving. If I was Lindgard, Donny, Martial, heck even Phil Jones, I'd be getting my agent to send out my CVs.

    I do think he'll cut it though. Last swansong and all that. Not sure it'll make a difference to Uniteds title challenge, but for sure they are going to scare teams, or at least make the oppo double up on him. That can only be good for Sancho.

    Newcastle United the possible "homecoming" for CR7. Will be an electric atmosphere.

    He doesn't play like he did when he was first at UTD mate. Not saying he isn't a good player but teams don't need to double on him. He's more dangerous in the air if anything.

    Sancho and 500k a week Ron only a title challenge will do mate.

    Of the two of us I think I'm the only one who does get it, of course he starts as Ronaldo is still debatably the worlds number one footballer no right minded manager would leave him out of their team, don't you think the youngsters you mention above will learn more by playing with a player like Ronaldo, absolute tosh.
    Cavani is passed his best he's a bit player at best now, Rashford and Greenwood are still learning their trade, it's a little like us, your still learning your trade with regards football and Bradford City, if you keep posting on here and acquiring fellow posters football knowledge then you'll understand the game of football better, you know your favorite word fordy, well you talk a load of it at times.

    He's the worlds number one footballer at the moment at all! Seriously mate. He is good but in decline.

    Point is with Ronaldo in the Utd team, City are still favourites to win the league and Utd won't win the CL.

    The signing is pointless! Greenwood and Rashford now suffer. Utd fans that understand football know this is a bad move. Expectations go up but Utd are still shite.

    No, because you guys are pleading poverty, only to then go and spend more money on a CB who really through his career has only ever shown the odd spark of promise amongst the regular low-quality performances. So if you didn't have the £25mill for Lingard who you know works in your team there is no way you find even half of that now you spent £30mill on Zouma. Unless ofc you sell a player but you have priced your salable assets like Rice and Bowen out of moves already

    In all truthfulness your transfer business has be decent. Not convinced you needed Ronaldo though. Don't know what it brings. Like when Spurs brought back Bale or Bradford resigning Evans. Sometimes things are just better left.

    Never go back to your ex. It's done!

    Ronaldo isn't the player he once was, he is nowhere near the number one footballer in the World anymore. He won't even be the best player at Utd when he joins, Fernandes is better than him right now.
