“A chat with Ferguson this morning apparently swung the deal in Utdβs favour. Football, bloody hell.”
I was wondering about whether SAF would step in Ed all makes sense now.

27th August 2021 at 2:53 pm #183651“I wonder why Utd were in such a panic about this. Seems to me that it is on the lines of how can we stop City? To me it shows panic in the ownership and management.”
You do make me chuckle Adlab.πππ

27th August 2021 at 2:53 pm #183652Do you know what though? I’m not convinced he improves Utd all that much. I’ll get completely wrapped up in it all as it’s always massive when a huge player returns and they don’t come bigger than him. Henry returning to Arsenal, Bale to Spurs, Drogba to Chelsea etc. It was a deal Utd absolutely had to do though, considering the alternative would have devastated the whole fan base, it just had to be done. Seeing him holding up a red shirt again though would be incredible.
Let’s see. Not over the line yet.

Genuinely not too bothered. Not a great fan. As I said above I would much rather have a top quality left back. Basically we have added Grealish to last years squad. Aguero only played 7 games – sadly. Also it means our net spend if there is no more business is Β£40m. This builds up funds for Haarland or similar._____________________________

27th August 2021 at 2:56 pm #183655I know what you mean Ed, and players returning do tend to cause more excitement than actual results, but I think it does give Man Utd under Ole a big, big lift psychologically.

27th August 2021 at 3:00 pm #183656Ed, United fans will now ” Love the Glazers”.π Great PR move by them.
I think it’s probably a tougher gig for Ronaldo at United than at City as United aren’t quite at the same level as City currently and the United fans will remember Ronaldo in his pomp and he’s not at that level now.
Still a very good signing though and he will score goals for United.

27th August 2021 at 3:05 pm #183659I don’t think he can play anywhere but as a striker these days Steve. Cavani (when available/fit) currently holds both the number 7 and that position though so I guess they’ll rotate. In footballing terms, a weird move as we needed other positions more but in business terms, a genius move.
DDG
AWB Varane Maguire Shaw
Fred McTominay
Sancho, Bruno Pogba/Rashford

27th August 2021 at 3:11 pm #183664I can defo see why utd signed him but heβs certainly not needed there. He will expect to start every game. What a day though π
Seemingly city are pissed off as he was using them to get utd moving π
He will score loads of goals and itβs a legend coming home so if your a utd fan you would have to be delighted
Looks a great starting 11 what about Greenwood ? Much better through the middle then on the right ????

I sense the hand of Taggart behind this!
There isnt nor has there ever been any manners in football. For us, Levy breaks a promise to Kane and what ever nonsense has gone on with Ronaldo you cant trust anybody.
Then there is Mendy and Giggs.
Then what do you expect when there are such huge sums involved. Just look at our politicians where money is involved.
Still back to the games. Interesting one for us tomorrow. Everybody discounting Arsenal which is crazy. They had a good result this week albeit v a second string WBA. But it will give them confidence.Liverpool v Chelsea. Any predictions

27th August 2021 at 4:36 pm #183677SkySports confirm United offer Β£25m for Ronaldo.
Seriously Adlab United have every right to try and sign Ronaldo as he’s leaving Juve.

27th August 2021 at 5:06 pm #183682I don’t know why we didn’t see this coming, utd would always have tried to bring him back if circumstances allowed and surely would never let city get a free run.
Ed watch martial against saints again and tell me you are not sure Ronaldo improves you!
I get where you are coming from though and he may not have the impact some will hope for.

27th August 2021 at 5:33 pm #183697I think Ronaldo will score loads of goals lucky mate. Heβs still an unbelievable player even at 36. He is in fantastic shape.
Huge boost for the whole club. Just what it means for cavani or Greenwood? Greenwood will still play but maybe our wife which doesnβt suit him.
Still a great problem for utd to have!
Brilliant window for them and ole needs a big trophy.

Neymar left Barca to be his own man too… haha!

27th August 2021 at 6:08 pm #183703Sean, Greenwood isn’t a 9 yet. Not by any stretch. He’s not even 20 yet. He’ll play loads. Can play anywhere across the front 3. Neither Cavani or Ronaldo will be around long enough to hold him back. Imagine how much he’ll learn from training with them.
Crazy the effect this kind of signing can have from a business perspective
Cristiano Ronaldo is officially heading back to Manchester United.
The result? $MANU is up 8%, meaning Ronaldo has added about $250 million in market cap to the stock already.
That's insane. pic.twitter.com/5zJDU8u0lC

27th August 2021 at 7:10 pm #183719No was just wondering Ed. Greenwood looks much better through the middle like the Leeds game. No itβs not going to upset his progress. Bloody sure he will learn loads. Fantastic for him to be playing with Ronaldo
Massive and brilliant signing for utd Ed me aul mate
Thereβs no way anyone can twist that Ronaldo going back is a bad thing
