Okay
Is this even smart??! Is he gonna start ahead of the known regulars??! Will Ole be man enough to bench him when he is underwhelming??! What becomes of the younger first team players?

My point here is; if Messi actually didn't join PSG, Ronaldo would've joined them either now or in the end of the season. But Messi messed it up. He would've joined PSG and yall wouldn't have said it is a farmers league as yall are currently doing jux because its Messi who joined. PSG would've made a bid to juventus for Ronaldo if Mbappe leaves, but sadly they decided not to since they already got a better player in Messi.

Im happy Ronaldo joined united tbh.
Trophies aren't guaranteed there and it's obvious Messi would be having a better amount of goals per season. I wouldn't be surprised if Messi actually ended up surpassing him in the areas where Ronaldo is ahead. E.g goals, UCL trophies
I am not one to go back and forth with messi and ronaldo as i respect both players...when ronaldo sign for juve it was your lot that first branded him going to a farmer league....so i dont get why you are offended when i branded the french league a farmer league which is even an inferior league when compare to the italian league according to uefa coeffiecent ranking.

I hope I’m wrong too because Ronaldo is bigger than that Man U coach.

He only scores tap ins and penalties, if tap-ins and penalties were that easy to score, players like Anthony "French Pele" Martial would have been scoring twenty plus goals per season or Aiyegbeni wouldn't have had that horrible miss in 2010.

Last time I checked, the current top five leagues in Europe according to latest UEFA coefficient are EPL, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A and the Portuguese league. So much for the French league.

Messi and Ronaldo are two amazing phenomena that should not be compared, but rather appreciated and enjoyed.

That at 36,he still chose a difficult league like the EPL (instead of running to the MLS) says it all. Respect!

This signing is a double-edged sword for OGS. He cannot have any tenable excuse for another season without any trophy. His sack letter is on the table, waiting to be signed.
Bros you have said it all. One is after the game and the other is after the money. E clear like DStv.

I actually respected both players but lost respect for CR7 because of his fans.
I actually don't recall calling him out for joining a farmers league. Oh, It was actually you lots who were making fun of Messi saying he was playing the likes of eibar after Ronaldo left laliga, challenging him to go join him in Italy. Ronaldo joined in it when he told Messi to leave laliga and go join him.

According to UEFA, laliga has a better rating than Italy. Meaning Ronaldo had been playing in an inferior league compared to Messi. Italy is inferior to laliga. Yall saw nothing wrong with it
Now the tide has changed yall should stop making noise.

Overall, as I said, I'M VERY HAPPY RONALDO JOINED EPL. it should benefit Messi in some ways. If messi can overtake that his goal record, win a ucl with PSG which is very likely, and also a 7th balon d'or, these debates would automatically put to a stop!

You are not getting the point sir.
The Barça team to an extent was built around Messi just like Madrid was built around Ronaldo whilst he was there. But going to an already established team and start taking responsibilities away from established players won’t go down well with some people. That is why Mbape wants to leave PSG.
Do you think Pogba would stand idly by and disappear into Ronaldo’s shadow in a team that was built around him?

I know you really want Ronaldo to succeed in Man U on his second spell but is that what Man U really need at the moment?

Though I am a rival fan but I love beautiful football and teams with a great bond.
I do understand ur point ur point now better bt I think players should understand when a Goat or star player comes to ur club responsibilities shift alil bit. Bt it only gets complicated when u have big egos in the team.

That’s said i still don’t see that happening in Man United though cos Pogba has been there bt not very consistent so he shouldn’t feel so challenged. There were times he hardly played all through the season.

Mancity would be ideal for him bt United isn’t so bad either if they work around and with him.

All the other ones a glory hunters
I'm not very well sold on that Liver-pull thingy. When we were scurrying round in the 90s looking for any house with a sat dish to watch the UEFA champs league final, I didn't know too many guys who were pool fans. Wherever all these newbies crawled out from, I don't know.

The day some money sick sheikh throws a billion on Aston Villa, you will be shocked the lot of supposed Villa fans you'd see around Lagos claiming they've been villa for over 30yrs!!!

cool
Ronaldo is an incredible player but City rejected the offer knowing he wouldn't bring much to the table as he is already ageing and may not click with their style of play but man utd willingly accepted because of his legendary status in the club and not because of what he stands to offer. I Wish him all the best.
Do you guys read the news at all or you just go about commenting based on sentiments?

Who told you Mancity rejected him? Go and read Pep's press conference today when he was asked about Ronaldo. The decision on where to end up was totally Ronaldo's, nobody rejected him, even Pep admitted that the decision on which team to play for was Ronaldo's.

And, for your information, no matter the team, system or whatever, Ronaldo guarantees goals and goals win your matches and titles.

And even if Ronaldo doesn't give you goals, he will definitely make you a lot of money and football is business, that's why people actually invest in clubs.

Good deal For Manutd,after city rejected him,i knew he will end up with Manutd.Juve and C.Ronaldo finally realized that they dont need each other to Suceed.Pls nobody should come shouting that he needed a new challenge o,cos if he really wantd a new challenge he could have gone to join his brothers at Wolves.
Please where did you lot even got the information that City rejected him, where?

Please go and read Pep's press conference today and what he said, then you'd understand that, Ronaldo made his choice.

I really don't know why people always leave facts and talk sentiments.
