Boss469:
I see nothing wrong in that interview.

Ronaldo said Erik ten hag disrespected him so, why should he respect him back?

As for glazers the heat that is coming for them believe me they won't continue next season.

You know nothing about life and principles... Go take some lessons!

Ronaldo signed a contract, and should have kept shut till he left the club!... Lukaku apologized after his 'honest rant' the other day, and was still disciplined for it!

Ronaldo lacks discipline and has already shown he is a poor role model!

Well, United should just lock up and allow him keep fooling around till he leaves... Na him go hear am!!!

Smart and mature statement!

They shouldn't stoop to the level of even dignifying that repulsive interview with a response... That should be beneath the club.

They should just quietly treat his fvck up! Nigga is due for a serious humbling!

Such poor antics set the wrong precedence for younger players that it's okay to dishonor a contract and disrespect a club paying your wages because you feel unhappy.

Penguin2:
But were you used to watching Wan Bissaka to see his tackles and blockings?

Wan Bissaka’s weakness is poor crossing which I feel can be worked and shouldn’t deny him a place in the squad; at least until he leaves.

You are right... But, what if the coach has tried and yet failed to get the best out of him??!

A lot goes on behind the scenes.

Sanchez01:
You realize that you can be too overqualified for a role and too good for a company right?

...And still stay back there collecting fat paychecks while disrespecting the company whenever you like?!!

Please, name at least one top company in Nigeria or abroad that such nonsense happens! I will wait.

There's something called Contract, and another called SOP! Go and read them up!

Many of you just misyarn and become dishonest when it comes to your idol! No objectivity whatsoever.

Okay, Ronaldo is bigger than United... He is even bigger than Bayern, Napoli, City, Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, etc... Let's all see that HUMONGOUS club that will be worthy to sign and pay him come next year. E no far again!

Ray07:
He even fake sickness cuz he wasn't included in the lineup against Fulham.
Heard Sancho is also faking sickness.

These players don see pension home.

When I saw that 'Sickness' thing, I just couldn't help but laugh!

Trojan8:
How did I end up sharing fanbase with these kind of fans?


Liverpool went through 30 years without any EPL trophy, can't remember any time something like this happened. Which club hasn't gone through period of crisis? If you feel its OK to criticize your employer while also collecting 500k every week is good, then you need your brain checked.


The most stupid of the lots are those saying football would forget Haag but would always remember Ronaldo. How senseless can you get? A player disrespected his manager countless times, yet claims he's not being respected. I would probably have to quit this club if Ronaldo remains.

Same savior Ronaldo was playing last season, but then he didn't remember that everything was the same since he was 20. Now he's not playing and he's suddenly a historian. I blame OGS for bringing him back in the first instance.

You are one of the few fans with sense... Your maturity is obvious.

These other fans clearly started watching football after Ronaldo's first season at Man United... Never mind them.

They are bereft of logic and objectivity. Bunch of kids!

Sigh... Buhari, quit embarrassing yourself and let this man go!

Sigh... APC just can't catch a break, especially in the North!

If the rumors be true, then may their union be blessed with beauty and fruitfulness!

He has done the manly and honorable thing! Respects to him!

Ireportlive:



Morale of the story, never stop making hit


.

True... Bigger morale: always save for the rainy days!

Buhari clearly doesn't want his party to win 2023 elections!

It's so obvious!

greypencils:
English is hard to comprehend. I get it.

Sir, with all due respect, my comprehension is top notch... Let's not go down that road. That's needless.

We both know you are trying to unduly exalt the ego and standing of Ronaldo against his club. This is not right.

Same way people keep spotlighting Ronaldo ahead of Rashford, Garnacho, and others working their butts off for the team every week... Messi fans do it also, I find it quite irritating.

He carried the team... He won them the UCL... He won them this... He singlehandedly did this... Where would they be without his 25 or more goals... Etc!!!

No offense bro... I just find excessive player worship a bit weird and off! Peace!

Penguin2:
I honestly can’t tell.

Maybe the issue they have is beyond football.

Because everyone knows that Wan Bissaka is solid at the back just that his crosses are shitty.

In my perspective, Wan Bissaka doesn’t deserve the treatment Ten Hag is giving him because whatever his weakness is can be worked on. Coaches help players develop and become better; that’s why they are there in the first place.

This is exactly my issue with many of you...

How do know the coach hasn't done all that?!!

He trains these guys weekly... He knows more about their abilities than you all do or will ever do!

It's easy to point and condemn from the sidelines, but wearing the coaching crown is always harder than it looks.

Wan Bissaka had all the time and opportunity to step up and show his worth for 2 straight seasons, what did he do?!! How well did he fare?!!

Ten Hag has a huge and daunting task ahead of him... He needs to get the very best out of what is on ground. If any player can't hack it, he must be axed!

Ten Hag is even nice honestly... Mourinho and Guardiola would have axed half of that useless squad!... Ole's Mr. Nice Guy was what cost him his job!

just2endowed:
I think he's child health and loss of a child really affected him mentally and emotionally because the club didn't show respect or concern. During the preseason, his daughter was hospitalized and the club think he was using that as an opportunity to leave. That really hurt him deeply.

Let's not run with one side of a story... The club has not released any statements, neither did his coach.

Ronaldo fanboys don't even want to see a damn thing from the side of the coach or club... This is so wrong! What does the coach stand to gain from putting Ronaldo down?!! What will humiliating and destroying Ronaldo add to his resume?!!
Why should a coach, any coach at all, be compelled to field a player for every game even when others can do better just because he has a "legendary" status?!!

Let's always look beyond fandom, and stay in football abeg!

Sanchez01:
His daughter was hospitalised around the time United were on a pre-season tour. No sane man will honour one useless club over family. Rooney has said so many ridiculous things about him while he kept quiet. "Eric the Hag" kept saying Ronaldo was part of his plan even when the player was trying to move away from the club. In the end, he got relegated to the bench. We get it, he is old and not as young as he used to be, which is all the more reason United should have let him go but no. ETH never respected him but when he says he does not respect him either, it becomes an issue.

I hate to be the one to say this but Cristiano Ronaldo is bigger than Manchester United just like Messi is bigger than the current Barcelona. Players are humans and can be unhappy when things are not in place. It's like wanting away from your everyday job. Just because your branch manager love your work ethic doesn't mean you shouldn't leave when job satisfaction is not there. Casemiro wanted to leave Madrid and he is still loved by Madridistas. It is only in England that wantaway players are regarded as betrayers.

Just say you love Ronaldo far more than United, and rest please!

No need for all these shalaye!

There are millions of United fans who have stayed true to the Club before Ronaldo came and have remained till now! I dare you to utter those words in their midst!

No wonder they insult you Nigerians on foreign football pages... Una too dey misyarn! SMH!!!

greypencils:
No he won't. This is a man instrumental in bringing the last UCL title ever won. This is a man who was the top scorer last season in the club with 24goals. If he has has had a slump this season, it is because he has been in a wrong place mentally and that is the reason for this interview. He has to clear his head. Only then can he concentrate on football. Ronaldo has never been the problem. Maguire and McFred was the problem last season. This season, Ronaldo isn't motivated. A motivated Ronaldo would move mountains. Every Manchester United fan knows that.

Ronaldo was instrumental in what exactly?!!.. What were the other players then doing?!! Sleeping?!!

You guys are the main reasons why a lot of people now despise Ronaldo!

Stop worshipping him please... Just watch and enjoy football! Messi and Ronaldo are more or less in decline! There is no other way to put forth this fact!

unmask:
I am sure a non-fan will be a lot more objective

Even a true fan of Man United who also understands basic football will not take sides with Ronaldo...

EzeNwaanyiMmili:
lol 80% Messi fan boys have no business with football discussion
na banters dem sabi like typical bbnaija fan just like you where blabbing just now.
to them verified football journalists like fabrio can lie as far as it concerns Ronaldo.
so discussing football with Messi fans is just a waste of time.
Same people that justified Messi when he bullied comebol into hosting another tournament for him the following year will come here and be capping nonsense.

Hahahahahaha

Yeah right... Fabio knows more than the clubs who rejected Ronaldo publicly or more than coaches like Pep who categorically stated they didn't need him!

Not your fault jare... If Ole had grown a pair last season and done the needful, you all would have neglected the results and called for his head! It doesn't matter to you that United wins or doesn't lose games, all you care about is that they must respect your idol even at the detriment of structure and results!

...And nope, I'm not a Messi fan! I gain absolutely nothing from him or any other player. I'm just a fan of the beautiful game of football... You know, the game that has existed long before Messi, Ronaldo, Pele, or even you were born!

dfrost:
Nigga feels he's entitled to every good thing football brings. Like Pele, like Ronaldo.

Arrogant brat. And he went ahead to have an interview with a crazy blonde that supports Man United's rivals? Piers Morgan?

He the gods wants to kill, they run mad first of all.

Boss, I don't even have issues with the guy... He is naturally narcissistic and egotistical! Someone that finds it hard to celebrate with team mates outscoring him in games... I even heard he hasn't congratulated Benzema for winning Ballon D'Or (might be wrong)!

I have no issues with arrogant people... It's every man's choice to be humble or proud! Your life, your choice!

My issue remains with his fanboys! Mostly the hungry ones here in this Third world nation! They are even twisting facts to paint United and Ten Hag ugly just to make a declining player look good or better than he actually is! Like WTF?!!

Messi, Ibrahimovic, Dzeko, etc, are all players in progressive stages of decline... This is the simple cycle of existence! Why should it be different for Ronaldo?!! Na wa o!

Well, next week no far again... Let Portugal start their games. I wan check something! Let me see and hear who they will blame in the coming weeks: the coach, midfield players, or defenders... Maybe they will blame fifa this time around!

EzeNwaanyiMmili:
Messi insulted a whole comebol and nothing happened
rather they gave him an unusual tournament schedule to appease him and also help him lift an international trophy.

listen to me Ronaldo would have worked with Pep very well after all he worked with all managers in Madrid and Zidane always praise him.
what happened in United was that Ronaldo saw their project and saw that they have no future plans hence he never respected the project.
imagine having the likes of Fred Mactomany maguire etc as teammates what courage will you have.
Pep have a very great project both now and future and had it been Ronaldo came, he'll respect the project because the club has been progressing before you and will do after you.
his teammates will boost his morale.
imagine playing alongside with KDB, Gundogan, Rodri, Cancelo, Foden, Bernardo, etc.
Ronaldo is an ambitious player and always hungry for success.
what he saw in United are bunch of unserious person just sitting and eating wages weekly.
look at the calibre of players playing with Messi Mbape and co. that alone is very encouraging.
Messi for example lost his cool with Barcelona and wanted out but was blocked by then Barcelona president.
why ?
Barcelona project was starting to look directionless hence he wanted to try a better club.
that's what top players do and not Ronaldo thing alone.

What drove him away from Madrid?!!

What drove him away from Juventus?!!... What makes him jump ship everytime things begin to go South?!!

Every club faces issues from top to bottom... This is how football has become!

A tough and loyal player will make effort to transform or work the process for better! Ibrahimovic returned to Milan and won Scudetto with them... Other top players have done it for their clubs against all odds. Not running away when things start declining... That's the footprint of a MERCENARY!

You need to quit twisting Messi and Barcelona issue to suit your poor submission please! Every one knows why Messi had to painfully leave Barcelona, it was all over the news abeg!

...And for the umpteenth time, Man City was among top clubs that outrightly rejected Ronaldo (Bayern, PSG, etc)! Pep had absolutely no plans for him! Let's quit this lame gist abeg!

arukwe123:
City would still have gotten Haaland even if they sign Ronaldo. Do you think City will settle with a 37yrs old striker . Pep for show am shege. Ask Aguero, Zlatan and Yaya

Why you dey reply that clown sef...

Everything was set for Ronaldo to move to which City?! This Pep's City?!!
The same City that we know or another one?!! Lol!

dfrost:
Motivated at what age please? You people should stop feeding his ego. Ronaldo is gone past his prime. It's sunset for him. Let it sink.

Something is seriously wrong with Ronaldo fanboys... I have said it over and over again!

How do you idolize a person to the point of being blind to his faults and failings?!! That's the height of stupidity!

United is not in the best of hands right now, they haven't been in a good while, but that doesn't mean anyone should completely pull down the club just to feed his ego! What happens to the other players putting in serious efforts every week?!! It's childish and wrong!

Well, what is my own... I did warn them all about bringing that man in last season. I'm even amused that they are in shock!

Without Ronaldo, Ole would still have a job... And United would have done better last season, with more consistency onwards!

Na una know Sha... Let me first watch Portugal closely this world cup, and wait for fresh excuses these fanboys will come up with if or when Portugal is trounced at the group or knockout stages.

sprints1:
Oga why are u spilling trash. Roma has which good players apart from dybala the red are bang average from Abraham to smalling to belotti and pellegrini. Ten hag has good and well drilled players at his disposal shaw,Bruno fernandes, eriksen, casemiro, ronaldo de gea are well above average. The problem with ten hag is that his big headed ego of his. We have enough quality in that team.

It's always easy to coach a team from the spectator stand or pundit chair.

Sir, he trains those players week in, week out... He knows a lot more about them and their abilities than any of us.

frankson1:
Angelfrost, if ETH was detailed enough, some of these things the fans are complaining about would have been addressed because he would have already taken notes of them.

Same players,
Same starting line up,
Same formation and
Same struggles and you believe he doesn't need to make changes??

Please, cut him some slack... Even Mourinho is struggling with better players at Roma currently.

You can't expect everything to fall into place within a few months of the very first season... He has to tinker, experiment, and juggle till he gets the best starting lineup... Give him time, he is not doing badly.

Besides, he trains these guys... He knows better than you who is quite fit and who isn't.

Above all, United lacks quality players in key areas especially that Number 9 position... United would have won that game in first half.

dfrost:
Add 0 for the back of that 25, then we open talks

You say what?!!...

I only asked for one small player not the entire first team!

Kyase:
We no want
When we beg una for philips una no gree
Una go sell am for city

Phillips is hungry for trophies... Na City go give am dat one.

triple996:
Erik ten heg is good, all he needs is a good team. Like a very good striker in his prime, forget Ronaldo ( d best in history bt past his prime) we need good striker, rashford na winger,

Please, tell your impatient United fans... They think good coaches are waiting somewhere to be taken.

frankson1:
ETH is A VERY VERY USELESS COACH AND SHOULD BE SACKED.

YOU DON'T KEEP BENCHING ONE OF YOUR BEST AND INFORM PLAYERS.

And one idiot asked me to shut up as if this politics thread.

Okay... Sack him and employ who?!! Gerard?!! Valverde?!! Gattuso?!!

Be careful what you wish for!

ETH is more or less the last of the decent young coaches left... Ask Chelsea how far!

Kyase:
Angelfrost wan try our new star boy ooo
Eriksen good and thank god I captained him this week

Just give us Garnacho!

We are ready to pay 25 Million!
