"Manchester United is delighted to confirm that the club has reached agreement with Juventus for the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, subject to agreement of personal terms, visa and medical.
"Everyone at the club looks forward to welcoming Cristiano back to Manchester."
Wouldnt mind Mason Greenwood on loan.😂
Strange how players want to sign for such a shit manager. They have for a decade now, and going on about it in the media, how talks with Ole was imperative. So strange, and so embarrassing.
No, that was Adam Le Fondre. No bid was made, and according to Romano, no serious talks were held. Still, a decade of players believing in him. But not the die hard Cardiff Ciry fans! The highest profile manager ever at the club.. What’s next? Russel Slade to the premier league steady some ship?
From what I can tell Ronaldo wanted to leave Juve and was having his agent speak to both Manchester clubs. No official bid was made until late today when Man City had already stepped aside.
Considering reaction of Man United fans to rumours of Ronaldo going to Man City and it eventually not happening I can see why the agreed story has become no serious talks were held with Man City but we don't know for sure.
Regarding Ole, not going to say he was a bad manager when he was here but he was a bad manager for us. Not sure how much he's improved since (only Luke Shaw is definitely a better player under him and only that PSG tie won on a Rashford penalty as unexpectedly good result) but he is trusted by high profile players - and now the pressure very much on to win finally win a major trophy.
No one yet has mentioned that Man City might have changed their mind about signing Ronaldo when the Mendy story broke and not wanting to double down on controversial headlines on the same subject.
It’s only because he doesn’t have to play at a wet and windy Stoke on a Wednesday night!
Got to say that is a formidable set of forwards that Man Utd have this year.
The lure of OGS - if only?
What does he offer that Cavani doesn't? Surely if there is money to spend it's better to spend on base of midfield which currently looks okay but not best in premier League.
With Real reportedly forking out 150 million for a player you have to feel for those ESL clubs don’t you. It’s not going to happen, but I’d love a Leicester type Premier League winner this season - Arsenal getting relegated would be nice as well.
Agree the tactical genius of putting on Adam Le Fondre then putting another striker on a couple of minutes later with a signal for Le Fondre to go wide was brilliant. I despaired looking at a confused Le Fondre with his arms out wide clearly having no clue at what he was supposed to do.
The blokes a genius.
He offers stability. Winner mentality, such as Cavani, but a level above. He offers Twitter, newspapers all over the world top coverage and a huge income for the club. Cavani is hardly available till before Christmas, and then he has only 12 games in him. Ronaldo has the best goal scoring stats in the world.
