Genie Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Liverpool really let them off the hook the last 20 mins or so. Could have been 6,7 or 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 24, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 24, 2021 I think they can accommodate Ronaldo - but they need to drop one of the others and bring in another central midfielder to do some of his work. A front three of Rashford - Cavani - Ronaldo or Sancho - Ronaldo - Greenwood would be fine with Fred, McTominay and Matic behind it - they then just need to replace Fred, McTominay and Matic in the summer.

OutByEaster? Posted October 24, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 24, 2021 Ronaldo is on a two year deal - imagine him in a season's time, earning his half a million a week. Oof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oof. Reminds me of Lescott, Micah and Gabby but just on a much bigger scale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably still be in the top 2 or 3 goalscorers though tbf, and also selling a shit loads of shirts, tickets and merchandise to offset some of the wages.

You have to keep it in perspective. Ronaldo is raising United profile worldwide, bringing in new fans, selling shirts, tickets, bringing in sponsors and scoring more goals than most other players, winning matches etc etc. Edited October 24, 2021 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, off field I am sure the numbers must work out and he is scoring goals. But next season and from a footballing perspective I am not so sure he will fit in the United team with whoever the new manager will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s paying his way off the pitch and on it with goals. There is a debate whether they’d be a better team without him but he’s not a complete disaster as he’s being labelled as.

sharkyvilla Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I'm surprised how little Ronaldo creates for others. If he was creating as well as scoring it might be worth keeping him in the team even if he's not pressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I wouldn't be surprised to see him playing in China next year if the next manager can't make it work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, China, Qatar or the MLS could be a destination for his last season. If he’s not in the first team plans there no way he’ll stay with so little of his career left.

Maximum salary in the Chinese league for new contracts is £40k/w so they might have some issues getting him to sign MLS might also be tricky with that rape thing.

I think the clue is in the wording ‘for others’ Ronaldo only cares about one man getting the limelight, much to the detriment of his teammates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
