The Manchester United Thread

Bruno Fernandes: “Cristiano Ronaldo situation? I spoke to him weeks ago, so I expect to meet Cristiano on day 4 for the pre-season trainings - and there’s nothing else”, tells Record. #MUFC

“I don’t think Man United are open to lose a top resource like Cristiano”.
 
Simon Stone: "Ronaldo clashed with Harry Maguire over the United captaincy last season, while interim boss Ralf Rangnick's desire to implement a pressing game was thwarted by Ronaldo's refusal to fit in with such a system."

Not sure how anyone that’s watched Ronaldo play for the past 16 years would think he presses…it’s also cute Rangnick though he could teach Ronaldo new tricks when not even the likes of Fergie, Mourinho (clashed with mourinho too), Ancelotti could.

Again, what was the point of Wreck-It Ralph exactly when the Glazer yes-men ignore what he was brought in for?

Sad state of things. This is the type of ruthlessness we need but alas, we’re stuck in the same old loop.

But at the same time, the January window is a risky time to do that kind of business considering how no club would be all too willing to sell their center forwards
 
What's your opinions on Sasa Kaladzic (probably minced that spelling).

I think his contract expires in 23.
 
Also, I think Ronaldo leaving wouldnt be as bad. If the rumor that versitile forward is coming, then you'd have Rashford, Elanga, Sancho and Eriksen covering the flanks, and first two can play as a striker. Would expect in that case Bruno to play like Tadić did when Ajax went to the semis of CL.

Yeah makes sense why we are waiting on pushing the button on Antony and Gnarbry if German press is to be belived

If it weren’t for Green***d being a pathetic excuse for a human being, I would’ve encouraged it. I’ve raved about him becoming our no. 9 for years now so this would’ve been the opportunity to play him in his proper role consistently but alas…

Ronaldo leaving surely means we need to actually get creative, even if it’s short term. We should keep an eye on Evanilson from FC Porto as I think he’d be a brilliant fit to ETH. He’s like a Firmino regen. The reason I’m a bit wary of him is he’s really only had one good season

We could’ve also gone for Taiwo Awoniyi, whom would’ve been cheap too before he signed for Forest
 
I wouldn’t even mind a straight player swap with Chelsea for Armando Broja…for some people that don’t remember him, he basically turned Maguire inside out.
