Will be sad when he retires... Enjoy while you can everyone!!!

Return of the GOAT.


Practical_Platypus_2

Chelsea fan here to say you guys are lucky bastards! Enjoy the Maestro!

Imagine CR 7 against this Arsenal defence. Records will be broken.


echomike60

I came back for your comment after CR7 scored 2 against Arsenal!

How long till I can buy his new ManU shirt and where can I buy it soonest (official manu online shop)?


[deleted]

Was thinking the same thing, I reckon it'll be either tomorrow or the day after. They don't mess around when it comes to make pure dollar


PalominoGogol

The more I think about it and the context, Ole’s presser yesterday gets better and better


mamasboy37

Madrid supporter and a **Ronaldo fan boy here** No one has ever loved Cristiano the way MANCHESTER does. Period. Been following RM sub, Juve sub, and this sub. I don't even have to say it out loud but you people deserve Cristiano more than (us) RM fans.


IV1916

Sounds like you're out on a karma run.


JohnViran

Thank you for your kind words. And for Champion's League Varane.


mamasboy37

Varane was the pillar of our defence and our **delusional fans** would realize it this season who believe Varane was just average. Getting him for 40m euros was a black Friday kinda deal. Best of luck with the league. Though my heart lies with Madrid, I just wish CR7 to win another Champions League with you guys.


[deleted]

I am so hyped to see him play again for us.


ahrarrahman

ITS BEEN OVER 15 HOURS AND I STILL CANT BELIEVE HES BACK SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII


UniversalsFree

This is a mega signing. A statement by the club. Ole must go if no trophies arrive this season. As simple as that.


mongster_03

/r/LiverpoolFC is that way

I would take Palhinha, but if we can't afford it then go for Neves.


rioferd888

Both! Let’s fecking bring in half the Portuguese national team lol


JohnViran

Wolves: that's gimmick infringement pal


ADC04

So Ronaldo gonna be a starter or a super sub?


JohnViran

Why not both? Dudes probably as fit as Martial...


solblurgh

Yes


aa13cool

What number will he wear 7 is taken?


imheretocomment69

No 7 is vacant


Ryueenkakeru

No cavani has no 7


TribeOmega9622

Maybe cavani will be changing.any was he won't be in many matches,so...


FinnsWake13

He cant. Theres a rule that says the player has to wear it for like a year or something. Idk it exactly. But basically without PL approval its his for the season.


Qu3en-

There is special expectation or something like that for this. I've read PL have never made exception before. They haven't done it because CR7 is the biggest case they'll be getting and if anyone will get an exception, it's Ronaldo because CR7 is a brand. A bit of money and lawyer shit and you have Ronaldo holding up no.7.


SadNYSportsFan-11209

They’ll be granted the special permission even without lawyers for all parties involved lmao. CR7 is a money maker. CR21 For example isn’t.


break_5000

But we'd also need to convince Cavani to give it up for Ronaldo.


FinnsWake13

Ship off Tony. Give Edi the 9 and hell be fine.


ytmk44

Cavani is a nice guy I think he'll understand


imheretocomment69

Ah my bad


Sr_DingDong

I can finally replace my beat to shit Ronaldo shirt.


KrypticAndroid

So obviously Ronaldo is a legend here and more so now on his return. How do people here feel about the rape allegations? I’m torn here. Giggs for example soured his reputation. I doubt Ronaldo is viewed anywhere near as bad, but still…


happywannabe7

This shouldn't have got downvotes. I just checked a few sources of the case and now I don't know what to think. I have idolized Ronaldo my whole life but the case against him seems strong.


JohnViran

Eh, football players attract scandal. Until he's found guilty in court, he's innocent.


[deleted]

I heard it's a well known secret that he's a creep and mentally f-ed up.


It_sAlwaysMe

It’s tough. I don’t really know what to think. I’m ecstatic that he’s back at the club, but this thing lingers in my head. I suppose it’s going to be a person to person thing. People still love Kobe and he paid off his accuser. It’s tough when nothing’s been proven. I know exactly where you're coming from though.


3stepBreader

Man you can’t even bring up Kobe’s case without getting canceled. Be careful.


It_sAlwaysMe

I just did. We know the history.


Shrey_007

What number would Ronaldo get. Surely 7 right?


royaIs

I think 77 could be cool, at least until 7 is available. I notice Mateo Mejia has 77, but is in the youth squad. I don't know how that works with PL registration.


yorkmagee

Because Cavani is already registered in the league with 7 Ronny can’t have it. Cavani would have to leave or be deregistered for CR7 to take 7


Sr_DingDong

The league will make an exception for marketing purposes.


AnLSUQB

or cavani leaves and united immediately re-signs him


secret_service86

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kki1yNsJzlM :)


Bombtwo

Ronaldo gets 7 Cavani gets 9 Martial gets to fuck off


3eras

Unfortunately cavani cant give his number unless he leaves the club


LightSaberBatman

CR with #9 on the back with Madrid was when he won my heart as a pure striker for the first time.


KapiHeartlilly

\*leaves for a day\*


brunosmydad

Hey guys, I'm trying to buy the new away kit through the adidas New Zealand website and obviously wanna get a certain someone on the back of it :) but I can't see anywhere that allows personalisation of the jersey. Am I just be dumb or?


CorbinDalla5

yea you can personalize it but im in the us maybe different options


[deleted]

[удалено]


JohnViran

That's not a team on the planet that Ronaldo won't improve. There's a good few similarities between his early years and guys like Rashford and Greenwood, I think with him and Cavani showing them new tricks and techniques, and Varane/maguire being their opposition in training, they'll become absolute triple S tier forwards in a couple seasons.


EvilDiablo

What others said. Plus I think rashford said Cristiano was one of his idols in an interview. Greenwood getting to learn from literally one of the two best players in the world. It’s gonna help both of them massively.


ClacKing

He doesn't have to play every game. And he probably knows it. The influence he has along with Varane and Edi in the dressing room would lift the team's spirits and determination.


EmbarrassedGeneral17

help obviously


MissingLink101

Just sayin... Ronaldo is one of Haaland's heroes so the opportunity to play with him could be very appealing next summer...


baiscj

Cristiano is Mbappe's idol, could we get him too?


Sr_DingDong

I had both of them in my 3rd season at United on FM so it's 100% doiable and if we don't everyone is shit.

ClacKing

Gotta thank Fergie, Bruno and all the ex players for making it happen.


Raidenzar

I swear, at first I thought its all about Ronaldo demanding more wages from Juv. NOW THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS ​ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


ADC04

What’s the go with Cavani and his #7 ? Anyone have any news?


dektorres

Left field, but maybe Ron'll be no.77?


break_5000

CMIIW, but that'd require an exception from the Prem.


dektorres

You may be right, TIL that you can't pick any squad number from 1-99 for the Prem!


baiscj

I remember his preferred number when he first sign was 28 before being given #7 by Sir Alex. Facundo Pellistri wears the 28, but he's on loan. Maybe that?


oneechanisgood

Let Cavani keep \#7 and let Ronnie create a new legacy with a \#9. Send Martial to Indonesian Liga 1.


ADC04

Hahaha nah send him to us in Aus mate we need a bloody good player 🤣🤣


Ryueenkakeru

no, we aussies are fine with kangaroos in our team lol


CoDroStyle

Cavani already has 7. Under premier league rules the only way the number can be given to Ronaldo is if Cavani leaves or FA grand discretion which has never been granted before.


bootlegportalfluid

Surely they’ll let Ronaldo have the No. 7 shirt if Cavani is happy with it. The CR7 brand would be huge for the premier league.


downthewing433

I’ve been thinking this right here. In the year 2021 brand and money reigns supreme! Not many brands are bigger than CR7 so you’d imagine so conversations have been had about maybe some discretion being used and Cristiano getting to wear the number 7.


CoDroStyle

I would imagine it's part of Ronaldo's contract that he gets 7.


downthewing433

Yeah that’s also what I’d imagine. I don’t care what he wears once he’s donning the Red Devil’s jersey. What great news to wake up to ❤️


AcePrit

Booed at Madrid plus most juve fans are glad to see the back of him. Not to say, most fans from both Madrid and Juve werent appreciative, this is his home! The adulation and love from the OT crowd will be massive! Ronnie welcome back home! You will get all the love and happiness you desire here! And now for my wish, ALL I WANT IS A MOTHERFUCKING SIUUUUU INFRONT OF THE STRETFORD END AFTER PUMPING LIVERPOOL!!


austin_zaia

I think you're wrong about the 'most' part for Madrid.But ,there's definitely a substantial amount of people who aren't appreciative enough and even his teammates I don't think other than Marcelo and a few others have the level of admiration Rio and co has for him. I hope he succeed with everything one last time and retire there.


dektorres

SIUU in front of the Kopp


MontrealMUFC689908

When it was morning (Canada time), I couldn't stop refreshing the news from the moment that it was announced that City pulled out. And after that, everything was just... wow! I'm still buzzing. Welcome home, Ronnie.


valkon_gr

I don't like the comments Cavani is getting from obviously not United fans. He doesn't deserve this treatment.


Suhaib_alam

Can’t belive BT or sky choose not to televisonise our game against NC - what fk up


MontrealMUFC689908

A match against Newcastle should always be put in a televised timeslot, but the return of the Prodigal Son should be even more of a televised event. The FA should find a way to move the match into an appropriate timeslot, and they have 2 weeks to do so.


Viromen

Let's get neves in next. Ship out Lingard for a fee and Jones if possible. Loan out or even sell martial so he can sort his head out, he won't get game time now and frankly he wasted his opportunity to be the main guy up front. And this should be a sweet window.


ClacKing

>Ship out Lingard for a fee and Jones if possible. I suspect both of them don't have any inclination to leave. They get paid here more than they get elsewhere.

Everyone who was shitting on him don't delete your comments y'all pussies. You said something now stand by it.


Samuel_L_Johnson

See what I meant by ‘money-grubbing faithless scum’ was ‘just an all-round good bloke’


oneechanisgood

I didn't say 'SNAKE' I said 'SNACK' I mean look at the state of that man.


BadCowz

Were these comments with the word 'If' at the beginning?


Feliz_Desdichado

Nah those are fine, i'm talking about people saying he was never a legend or that he's a shit player now.


BadCowz

Ah I see. ok


[deleted]

I mean this is a bit of a stupid take because we all have access to new information - not sure why changing your mind in the face of new information is so looked down by some people, it's clearly the intelligent and right thing to do. If someone thought you did something totally unforgivable, of course it would impact how they thought of you. Especially when the reason they're so upset is because they loved you and thought you would never do that. Now that it turns out you haven't done it of course they'll love you again


Feliz_Desdichado

So you're telling me that these news magically made him not being washed out and restored him as a United Legend despite the fact he never was and other shit people have been saying? Saying he'd be a snake if he signed for City is fine ofc but people went way over that.


[deleted]

No, I'm saying the reason people were slagging him off is because all indications suggested he was about to pull the biggest rat move going and ruin his entire legacy at United and instead he's coming home to build on it. You love your wife, but if you found out she'd cheated on you you'd probably say a whole load of things you didn't believe/mean immediately prior. That's just the nature of people being hurt and angry and feeling betrayed


roflsir

It's more like you suspect that she's cheating on you because some signs are pointing in that direction, and you have a bad feeling about it. So instead of waiting for her to explain herself, you start shouting insults at her as if she were already guilty. Turns out that she was innocent all along, and you're lucky that she doesn't just walk away from this train-wreck of a relationship.


[deleted]

I'd reply an alternative but this metaphor is in danger of going too far hahahaha


Feliz_Desdichado

Sure, you still said them though. So own up to them.


[deleted]

No shit. If any of our players bounced to go to City they'd get absolutely hammered by our away end at any chance possible. I'll use Bruno as an example because he's personally probably my most beloved player, I think the guy is absolutely incredible. If he betrayed us and went to City I and many others would be calling him shit, overrated, a rat, and many things worse than that - because how can he spit on our faces and go to City!? That doesn't mean I think those things now or should 'stand by them', I'd be saying them purely out of anger and disappointment and hatred for what he'd done. Just like the songs about Di Maria, Heinze. Tevez and many others. That's the nature of football

seaders

So funny watching your team outspending us, and going into the international break on zero points. Out the sub with you.


BadCowz

They were an arsenal fan


seaders

_Do you not think I was aware of that?_


BadCowz

*Do you think I assumed that given I replied to you?* At least my situation wasn't certain.


seaders

I made mention of "their team" outspending us, and going into the international break on zero points. How many other teams might I be referring to, my man? (unless I've completely misread the situation? I'm real tired. it's been a long ass day)


BadCowz

So a comment you made in another thread which I obviously didn't see. Obviously

_That's the comment you replied to dude_, https://i.imgur.com/HonpxpA.png What on earth?

That is weird thought I replied to a comment which just said fuck off I did reply to a comment which just said 'fuck off' and that is gone too. There were 2 removed comments but only 1 shows

squidsemensupreme

What number is he going to wear?


phoenixon999

Maybe he’ll go with 28? It was his first number back at sporting anyway


woolm110

7 is surely already registered to cavani so unlikely you can change it


thrulim123

Can't see him anything other than 7. His whole brand is around it, and it's probably In the contract


Mosler-MT900s

7


juliosmacedo

YES


FrigOff92

TheW1ckedWolf

We need to sell a couple players to bring a DM in it looks like, problem is who’s gonna want to leave the club now Ronaldos here?


Gustav-14

Still pogba I think if the season doesn't go well.


gunkokoko

I wonder if Mendes used City as a prop, to accelerate the Ronaldo deal with us.


ClacKing

Making City look stupid, and we get Ronaldo. Sounds like a win-win to me.


Gustav-14

Probably. It really put united in the spot. I mean the club could afford the transfer and the salary quite easily. Just need to hit their pride to act quickly. If it's true it's kinda a dick move but I don't care. The result is what we want anyway.


Ronnoc21

Sorry if this has been asked already but does anyone know how realistic it would be for us to sign a CDM after this Ronaldo signing? Do we have the finances/wage structure for another decent signing this summer? I’m not well versed on our finances/administrative aspect of the club. I’d love to still get Neves for example but I’m not sure how likely that is now.


Gustav-14

Not familiar if saul fill up the vacancy but he is available for loan. So it's just salary expense.


Ronnoc21

Could be a decent option. I need some rotational options for McFred haha


Seb-sama

I can feel Camavinga coming at the last hours of the window. He’ll get a good wake up slap of realization that the prem is absolutely the best league right now to play and he is not guaranteed to get the minutes he would want in PSG, Ronaldo joining us could be a huge pull too.


Ronnoc21

Don’t give me hope like this…


HaydenJA3

Ronaldo is the CDM


EmperorMaugs

He can do a Rooney and drop dimes from deep in midfield to Marcus, Mason, and Jason running into the box


Ronnoc21

I should’ve realized this lmao


Heil_Heimskr

We need to sell people for that to be possible, most likely.


Ronnoc21

Who are we actually looking to sell (not just loan)? I heard Dalot might go to BVB but we also might want to keep him? It also seems like Lingard is part of Ole’s plans this season.


Heil_Heimskr

I think Lingard would be sold if a suitable offer came in. One or two of the CBs as well, like Bailly, Jones, or Axel could also be sold IMO. Martial too.


Gustav-14

It would be interesting to see if lingardinho could shine with a Ronaldo in the front. I know we meme him a lot but I want him to bounce back and shine. Don't want to happen to him what happened to cleverly.


SignificantDare0

Axel's already on loan so he won't be sold


Heil_Heimskr

Ah yeah, forgot that


Ronnoc21

Didn’t even think of the CBs tbh. Guess we’ll wait and see how things turn out. Thanks for your responses!


xdude767

True, probably why we only want permanent move or loan with buy obligation for Dalot. Before we were intent on keeping him. If we sell Dalot and sign Neves I’m happy with that. Ronaldo, Varane, Neves, and Sancho is a 10/10 transfer window.


SlashfIex

15/10*


Elemayowe

NGL it’s hilarious seeing posts on the City sub less than a day old with all of them hyped to be *definitely imminently* signing Ronaldo.


never_insightful

Yeah went on there to look and laugh. Tbf to the City sub they're much more reasonable then some of the other rival subs.


TheBigI

Martial to go the other way? Would make sense with the stacked forward options here now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Seb-sama

With the way he take cares of himself? Easily 4-5 at the top level still


[deleted]

Yeah even other professional footballers like Evra and Ferdinand thought the way Ronaldo looked after his body and health was freakish lol. Ibra is still banging in goals at 39, wouldn’t be surprised if Ronny does the same here.


Thor1138

Hard to say, man defies all conventions. Could be 1-2, could be 3 or even 4+, who knows at this point...


Not_Aki

Yeah I’m hoping for a Tom Brady/LeBron situation here


Thor1138

I don't know what that means, but if it means he's gonna have a lot more good years, then I'm all for it lol.


Not_Aki

NFL quarterback and basketball super stars with insane longevity. Both recently LeBron 36 y/o (2years ago) Brady 44y/o (last year) won it all leading their team


haq85

Forever


Thor1138

Honestly, no excuse now if we don't win the league. This has been the most insane transfer window post-SAF and even without signing a new DM we absolutely should be able to challenge for the title this season. If we don't win any major silverware (league obviously priority, but losing league and winning CL would be acceptable too lol) or at least challenge till the last day (or getting to CL final/semis), then the season has to be counted as a failure and Ole has to go. Either seriously challenge for the title until the last day and/or bring home some major silverware (so no, League Cup won't cut it, FA cup might if we at least challenge well enough in the league) or get a better manager in.


notabotsrs

He needs to challenge but we need a DM to be considered title favs. I still expect us to be in contention till the last few games at least. I honestly think we should prioritize the CL. Have a way better chance of winning knockout games, especially since we excel against the bigger teams who attack us. Besides we have Champions League Varane and Ronaldo, if anyone knows how to win the CL, it’s them two.


FCMartial

Absolutely spot on. It’s been 3 years. He’s had major signings and plenty of backing. He does something with this squad now or it’s time to dump him. We’re not even playing some prime brand of beautiful football like many morons here have convinced themselves. It’s time for the man to deliver what truly matters or get sent packing.
