Been talks for a while about it. Looks like it's gonna happen. He's defo Champ level, maybe even lower to mid Prem level. Better LB than CB for me. But will play well at either. Amazing cross on him. Not very good in the air. Good in the tackle.

would expect him at LB for us as Taylor gone on a free to Burnley although we do need CB too

Not that sold on using a 3 at the back formation tbh, we're hardly stacked with good defenders.

Especially against Real with Bailly and Jones suspended. I think we could go for it when Rojo comes back. Have a back 3 of Bailly, Rojo and Lindelof/Jones.

I didn't like it myself last night.
It made me nervous every time they attacked us.
 
Won our first match in the Otten Cup here's the goals from Burkart who scored the first and Oconner the second both great. Especially Oconner not bad for a defender ;)

But if we show even the vaguest of interest in him then la liga will be going through our books trying to get us punished by UEFA
 
This won't go down well here, but I'll make it clear I love Ronaldo and he's a legend in my eyes. But I'm not completely sold that even if he were to leave Madrid for an Old Trafford return this year, and that's a big IF, that it'd be the best thing in the world for us?!

Can we just put sentiment aside for a moment and look at it logically.

Where does he play?

He's turning 33, he barely dribbles or flies past players anymore, which is understandable. That's a little thing called age. LW isn't probably his most effective position now, Madrid notice this, and have moved him into more central areas last season, particularly in big games. The truth is, Madrid carries Ronaldo as much as his goals carry Madrid, if that makes sense. That's taking nothing away from him or his vital goals, he decides matches even at this age, he's a credit, it's just that he's not the flying machine he once was. But Madrid, with their insane team/squad, can afford to carry him and let him goal-poach as such.

We've just signed Lukaku for a mega fee, who has everything to be the main #9 for years to come, with Rashford, 19, vying with him. Martial can also do a very good job there. That's an average age of 21 between those 3, our CF options theoretically sorted for years, with the likely possibility of Greizmann next season to boot.

I'll be the first to admit if I'm wrong, but Ronaldo to United just won't happen, and probably rightly so. I love you Ron, but I'd prefer to take Bale as he would fit in nicely and has things that Mourinho wants from wingers; pace, good on counters, defensive work rate, with a guaranteed double figure output.
