Well served punishment everything cannot always be about you na
Better start to learn how to fight for what you represent.
Ronaldo is a standard that cannot just be reduced to nobody.
To hell with their disciplinary department.
If you're big dont allow anyone to reduce you to nothing.
This theory apply to any place of work. Even your Oga that truly knows your worth will sometimes try to ridicule you but if you know your worth and resist, he won't try it again or probably till after a long while.

Ronaldo covered same distance per game as Salah last season (PL best player), did more sprints than even Kane last season, did more interception than even Jesus last season, scored more goals than United all attackers combined! Had better passing accuracy than even his playmaker Bruno...... Don't use false claims to justify your opinion, Pep wanted him cause he couldn't deny it as well when asked...... Likewise Chelsea didn't deny it


And about last season It wasn't Cristiano that disrupted the team, the team was destined to fail. Pogba and Varane were injured for the majority of the season. Maguire was terrible for the entire season and had no competition. The midfield of Fred and Mctomminay didn't work back then and still doesn't work (which is the reason why they are not played together anymore). Not to mention that Sancho didn't live up to his price tag. There is a reason why Ten Haag bought so many players. The same thing happened back at Juventus, people blaming Ronaldo for the incompetency of the manager and board. After Ronaldo left Juve only became worse. Ronaldo isn't the beast he previously was but blaming him for the terrible performance of a dysfunctional team shows how delusional some of these fans are. The reason why the team is doing better is because team has been completely overhauled and because Ten Haag actually has idea of what he is doing.
Babe, you dey analyse football o wink. First time I'm reading this much football comment from a female football fan. I couldn't agree more, I've always thought that CR7 isn't the problem. The whole dynamics of the United team, the 2 previous tactically deficient coaches, average players, affected his game play. It's so unfortunate it had to come this. CR7 has never been under so much pressure to score. That narrative that he's incapable of playing high press with very little game time to prove it keeps affecting his confidence/game under ETH.

Scholes came back with fergie. So did Nicky Butt. CR& will be an option of RVP could be an option. It's not like all the teams fergie coached were filled with world class talents.
Stop beefing ETH. You should appreciate him for having the balls to do the right thing
Real talk but Scholes and RVP happened at the end of his career because he didn't plan his retirement well. We're still suffering that.

ETH is simply playing to the gallery. Shadow without substance. If u don't want to play him, let go. Or better still, exclude him from the match day squad. Embarrassing Ronaldo won't bring him trophies and you can screenshot this post.

On the bolded - before joining MU, yes, big clubs would queue for his signature, but after what they have seen...no, no big clubs would be interested in him when they know they will suffer at the end cause they will need to feed the goat often by sacrificing their usual pattern...
Did Madrid suffer feeding him?? The most successful time ever for Madrid since the 50s was when Ronaldo played for them..Madrid did what no club have ever don in recent history... Ronaldo's problem is his huge wages ... if Ronaldo should half his wages ... bayern , inter ,Dortmund, Milan , Napoli , Atalanta, Chelsea will rush him

Legend that couldn't behave like a legend is now training with U21. Where you don see that kind thing before?

Yeah yeah. Blame the teammates, the manager, the board. Same set of people who came second in the league without him, got to Europa final, got to fa cup semis.
He came and even relegation bound teams were having it at them. The coach got axed under the excuse he can't manage the team and the new coach fared worse.
FYI, Man U have simply reverted to what they were doing under Ole before the arrival of Ronaldo. Pressing from the front, covering all areas of the pitch, fighting for lose balls and most importantly, playing a double pivot.
The entrance of Ronaldo with his unwillingness to press made playing like that difficult.
Ronaldo cost Ole his job and ETH is not ready to go same way
So let's also blame sterling for chelsea's poor performance, a team that won the UCL and finished 3 last season... lets also blame Nunez for Liverpool problems ... a team that finished 2nd last season and also got to UCL final... I guess he is the reason salah is struggling this season... hatred disfigure thinking faculty

This is football I can't be a coach and be using him when young players dey na,football is not a lifetime profession.He was once good but now his time don't waka.He will always be a legend

I'm sad to say that Ronaldo decisions were bad, in the last part of his long succesfull journey after winning everything with both Man United as a youngster and with Real Madrid as part of the second wave of galacticos. If he stayed at madrid he probably would've won more ballon d'ors and his records would've been even higher, the same problem that Lewandowski may face with Barcelona as they are in transition phase, Also like Ronaldo Lewandowski made a move from Bayern Munich when he was the best player in the world 2 times with bayern. What I learned is that if you are over 30 and you are doing good with your current team better not risk it. Don't change the team where you shine more. See the example of Modric he is at Madrid surrounded by best players making him shine even more playing like he is 28 yo when he is 37. Also Muller is doing good job at Bayern. About if Ronaldo should move or not I don't know if Ronaldo can make it to a big club fighting for Champions League after he turns 38 yo in February but for more playtime he should make a move anyway but it is better if he put all his focus on the next World cup. I think Manchester United are doing good and it is better for both sides to part their ways.
Leave Lewandoski out of this, he's enjoying his game time with Barcelona... Ranting about CR-7 won't change anything

Your goat was used as the main striker for the first four games this season and he messed up full-time...

Used as a starter against Newcastle United, he was no where to be found apart from scoring one offside goal and another easy goal that was also disallowed

Started the game against common ordinary simple Omonia niccosia, he couldn't make any impact until Rashford came to the rescue...

Please, admit it that your goat is finished kpam kpam, he has done his best for football, it's time to bow honourably, United is even playing good football without him and that's what matters, but the problem with Ronaldo fansboy is that they don't care whether the team is losing as long as CR-7 keeps scoring and adding to his goal tally so you all can do Suuiiiii and update their status on social media...

Stop telling lies...Ronaldo only started one game this season b4 he got his second start against Newcastle... Rashford has 8 starts but only 3 goals in 2 games... Manchester presently are struggling to score , and their only saving grace is that they have stop playing maguire, wissaka , and shaw is becoming serious due to competition from machiala .... they dont hv mctominy and Fred playing together in midfield... casemiro and Ericsson have both dealt with that issue ...

How did he embarrass Ronaldo? Do you want him to select Ronaldo simply because he is Ronaldo or on the strength of is from?
You want him to bench Rashfrod who is playing better just so that Ronaldo does not feel offended? Who does that?

If Ronaldo has buyers who submit an offer, I doubt if Man U will refuse to look at it.

Not somebody that left the team during the pre-season looking for escape route...you think ETH can be intimidated like other coaches. If him, Ronaldo got offer from another club in the summer, won't he leave the club? Club's interest should come first for a player not your personal interest ofwanting to score 100 goals.

Exactly why he puts Ronaldo to where he belongs, I love what you said, the team has been completely overhauled. Overhauled, not necessarily because of who he bought or sold, it can be about who he plays or benches.

Chelsea did not win UCL last season. They performed poorly last season which necessitated overhauling of the team.
Liverpool is suffering the exit of Mane not the entrance of Nunez.

Oh finishing 3rd last season and getting knocked out by eventual winners ( Real madrid) in the quarters now means they had a poor season...just to justify ur flawed argument... oh mane is now the reason, but when salah was firing last season , was it due to mane?? Was mane ever their top scorer?? We can also argue that pogba who was vital the season b4 , missed about 80% of United games last season... ok, y are juve still struggling, even worse than how Ronaldo left it?

Then came man u, thinking that their greatest player was about to join enemy ranks, so they bought him back. Just an emotional buy for them....

Salah was doing well last season because other teams do not have the luxury they have now, which is to concentrate all their energy on him since others pose less of a threat. Mane used to get double digit goals every season. To buttress this, Madrid became what they are now, when Vini and Rodrygo came into their own. The period when they had only Benz as their only attacking outlet, they suffered terribly. He scored a good number of goals but they could not win anything because they were predictable.
Pogba has not been a fulcrum of Man U for a long time. He hardly plays five straight league matches.
Because the foundation they had before Ronaldo came has been destroyed. They are trying to build back steadily now.

Please explain the foundation Manchester had b4 Ronaldo came... a team that cudnt win a single trophy ... a team that had only played one quarter final in the UCL in about 8yrs ... a team that has ben a regular on the Europa league... a team that spurs walloped 6.1 in their backyard...

I wud have been business as usual... mayb soljkier will still be there or mayb carrick wud hv replaced him by now...Maguire will still be the captain...casemiro, Martinez, Ericsson wud never have been bought....mayb they wud hv spent stupid money of Declan Rice and that one too will join the bandwagon and it will be business as usual ... finish 4 season , next Season , finish 6th, and then 5th Nd then 7th and then 4th again... and the merry go round continues

The team was actually solid defensively the season before Ronaldo. They didn't lose any away game throughout the season.

All the gloom you painted has happened with Ronaldo so how is he any different. If the club had listened to Ole and brought a defensive and central midfielder with Sancho as he requested, they will surely be better off than they are now. That's what they eventually did buying Casemiro and Eriksen.
This proves Ole was right

So y blame Ronaldo when it was glaring that the DM compartment needed serious attention ... wissaka cudnt cross a single ball to save his career...the fridge called maguire was there like a statue...

The problem that Manchester have now that u all are not seeing is that they don't hv finishers apart from Ronaldo... Rashford, sancho will not combine more than 20 goals a season ... Antony and Bruno will not do more than 20goals as well... the rest of the team will not do more than 20 as well... thats a disastrous 60 goals a season...luckily they hv an improved defence now
