Ronaldo was a RM at United in his early years as he was a direct replacement for Beckham, Fergie switch from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 when Van Nistelroy left. Ronaldo later transformed to a WF, sacrificing his dribbling skill for pace and goals. Wingers are referred to as Midfielders in the old 4-4-2 formation....

What facts? Did you follow our games then?

The way the two sidemen operate then in that 442 is not the same way wing men operate in 433 nowadays

Even the 442 of 2008 is not the same 442 of the 90s.

Ronaldo was more of a wing forward than an RM, especially that 2007/08(that was the time inverted wingers started getting popularised).

Early years I agree.
But that 2007/08 season, he was already transformed into a good WF

Ronaldo was a midfielder from 2003 to 2006, he transformed into a WF from 2006/2007 season after RVN left the club. He scored 23goals as a WF that season and followed it up with an impressive 42 goals in 2007/2008 season as a WF.

Some people no wan gree oo, them say na midfielder him be for 2008

Ellexy:
Ten Hag asked if David de Gea will be at #mufc next season:

“Yes, but I will not say he’ll always be my No 1 because in a club like Man United there must be competition in all positions. You can’t do it with 11 players. It is impossible. You need double positions.” [@henrywinter]

I just don't know why this bolded sounds cryptic to me

But you sef no gree say Ronaldo was a midfielder na 😁.

Exactly my thoughts too

Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award for 2022/23:

1st. Marcus Rashford
2nd. Bruno Fernandes
3rd. Lisandro Martinez

This guy is not taking things easy. He’s not coy at all about new signings unlike previous managers.

There's no point arguing on Nairaland, post your shit, like and share...everybody go learn last last

Posting things out of context.

For likes, shares and mentions.

Ronaldo scored 46 league goals and didn’t win the golden boot

Messi scored 43 league goals and didn’t win the golden boot

These guys were not real man 😂😂

I really don't think this position will be spent on. It's not a priority for next season.
maybe Kovar returns from loan and that's it. even then it will be as a back up, unless some kind of injury happens to de Gea.

Ok sir.

But did you read the "WHAT TOP FOOTBALL DEMAND" part?
You told us goalkeepers don't affect team play? Lmao

Let's wait and see. To return to the top we must play modern football and bin those that are not comfortable.

At least Ten Hag has told you the same thing I have been saying
-GK affect the way the team plays.

-playing from the back will increase your team possession and make you more deadly (beating the opponent press, takes out 3 to 4 players)

-keeping clean sheet will be normal when you keep possession of the ball, e.g Valdes, Ederson and Hart can boost of 3+ Golden gloves and they are not close to DDG in shot-stopping.

I can go on and on but this is Nairaland where fans want Pogba's return/contract extension and so many other funny takes. 🤣🤣🤣

Yes i read it, reason why am confused Ten Hag still want him to stay. And no De Gea did not affect our style of play this season, no be De Gea say make your forward useless...

JUST IN: Diogo Costa should move to the Premier League - he's desired by Manchester United, who admit to paying his €75m release clause. He has played his last game for FC Porto! #MUFC [

Vlahović, one of the names in Bayern list and really appreciated by Tuchel. 🔴🇷🇸

Chelsea and Man United are also well informed on the situation but it all depends on Juventus. Up to them.

Dusan, always been in Bayern radar and remains there, as reported last week.
