Leyqute:
You are naive if you are think Pep will play this Ronaldo for 90mins every matchday .
Use your medulla.

Pep will have used him last year and he'd have won a trophy and a golden boot. That'd gloss over whatever sporting issues emanate this year.

Besides, Pep wanted a one-year contract. So Ronaldo would have been looking for a place on a free transfer after just winning the PL golden boot and a trophy. Which is way better than after coming in 5th, trophyless, and a mandatory transfer fee. None of this long story and shalaye.

Last I checked the dressing room is doing fine and they're not missing him. He's the one doing himself not the club or the team.

The club is passing a clear message, enough of rubbish abeg.
I’m not even contesting the coach reaction to this.

What’s a viable solution for both parties?

Ronaldo is just in denial that he's no longer that guy. He's biggest mistake is leaving Madrid and burning the bridge there. Imagine announcing he leaving a day after the club won a CL because you're Ronaldo.
Make I chill so e no go be like say na me dey vex pass.
he started talking about leaving the very day we won against Liverpool. guy was probably sad he had a pathetic final for us and all the limelight was on Bale so he used that as an opportunity to bring the limelight back to him. imagine saying you're leaving as your team is celebrating

Give them the money to use to terminate his contract then since nobody wants to buy him or he should buy himself out with his own money. Dead manyoo didn't get him on a free transfer.
Your own palava. You did not get him on a free transfer, but he will definitely leave on a free transfer in the summer.

The worst you can do is not play him until then. That is acceptable. No qualms. Better to leave him out entirely than have him warm a bench with no intention of playing him.

Use Google. Ronaldo played more matches and minutes per season at Juventus than he did during his last year with Zidane. Zidane even had him forfeit the Pichichi race to concentrate on the UCL.

-Lord
No worry, I don't need to check google
I am 100% sure ronaldo started close to 30 league games for Madrid that szn. Man also missed about 4-5 through suspension in the super cup game against barca. Thats about 35 games already so how was he benched?
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Expert17: 7:06pm On Oct 20, 2022
Daley Blind

He's really social, I think, also in Ajax, he knows everyone at the club is important. Everyone needs to be involved to get that winning feeling, that winning mentality.”


He is a control freak and wants to be on top of everything. I think that's a special quality you need to have when being that good.”


He is a brilliant manager, a manager who loves to play attacking football, what Manchester [United] stands for

I think he's [Ten Hag] a manager who knows what he wants. He knows exactly how he wants to bring it over to the team and express that and keep everyone on board, everyone in the same direction to get that winning mentality and winning trophies

ETH na werey, he will deal with any black sheep. cheesy

You had to spread inconsistent Bruno all over your response grin

Who do una this thing nau

They're talking midfielders that one can boldly say consistency is their forte and you're polluting your post with Bruno all over

What a mess cheesy
cheesy cheesy last season was Bruno's worst so far and he had the most chances created in the EPL, more in fact than KDB.

Talk another thing joor. Now that you see that he can do what they do too you wan shift post grin grin

He would have won a trophy and the golden boot with Guardiola.

Zidane benched Ronaldo. Mourinho made prime Ronaldo press.

Even if they had fought with fists during pre-season, his record for 1 year with Guardiola would conveniently beat spending 3 years under ETH.

This is a classic case of see finish. Eto fought with Guardiola, still Africa's greatest striker. Aguero fought Guardiola, still a phenom.

-Lord
Zidane didn't bench Ronaldo. he rested him for some matches to keep him fresh. know the difference. Benching is what Ten Hag is doing to Ronaldo. resting him for more upcoming important fixtures is what Zidane did.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Karleb(m): 7:07pm On Oct 20, 2022
This reminded me of when Ronaldo wanted to join city and they came for his head, eventually, they all ate their words afterwards.

Let's see at the end of the season especially at that world cup.

For real though, Ronaldo's action can't be justified here.

Ororo will be back. cool

Fact! the only season I know he appeared less was his second to last season in which Zidane was rotating the team like crazy so he rested, at various points of the season, our starters and used the subs instead as we fought for both league and UCL which we won

Quit the hate.

He had a pathetic final but was the UCL top scorer for the season and also won the same UCL that night.

Mané left after his team lost UCL and even if his team won all the 4 trophies, he would have also left because his mind is made up.

We all know why Ronaldo left.

When you rest a player, does he sit on the bench or in your parlor.

They don't want a viable solution.

They are just trying frantically to find ways to act like little tyrants and blow smoke up their own a$$es.

All these we'll send him to the reserves. He'll never wear the red shirt again. We'll fine him. We'll delete all his goals. All of it is just punitive actions because he didn't allow himself to be used a teaching aid by ETH. If not, what is $15m for Manchester United to put an end to this rapidly deteriorating situation?

You don't want him. You don't want to play him. You don't mind paying him not to even be on the team sheet until he leaves for free. But he should be the one to buy out his contract at 38. Is that not witchcraft?

You're being disingenuous and you know it. Hazard right now is a typical definition of a benched player while Vinicius not starting against Shakhtar Donetsk is a rested player. Hazard doesn't know when he'd start again while Vinicius knew when he sat on the bench against Donetsk that he'd definitely be starting in the weekend against Barcelona.

Read what you wrote again.

So like this, DvB wasn't benched in the last game, he was not in the squad. I'm sure he really likes that. You're just arguing to save face. Give it up. No one will punish you for being wrong.

My statement was Zidane benched Ronaldo.

Whether you call it rested, sidelined, cut out, are just meaningless diatribe as long he didn't play while fit because Zidane insisted.

You can ask him that. But assuming he said so because he didn't have the attention in the final is just too wild. It should be categorized as hate speech.

So, why didn't he leave when Bale scored that lone goal against Barcelona in Copa final?

You can keep saying this or you can go out and touch the grass because Ronaldo leaving Madrid is something that was so much documented.
