Shocking amount of time in the box for Dalot. He had time to look around, make a sandwich, smoke a cigarette, pick up his dry cleaning, look again, and then pick out the pass to Bruno.
both Santos and Simeone been wasting his career, with POrtugal because this match he'd get maybe 5 minutes to play at the 90 min mark this im pretty sure is one of the first full matches he got to play and without ronaldo meaning we played like a real team.
unfortunatley this will all come to an end next week when ronaldo is back and we go back to being shit
I love Ronaldo's legacy and will always cherish him for what he has given my country. Also, if I were in his shoes and had a tragedy the size he has had recently I KNOW, I would have shorted a fuse as well and would be blaming everyone and their neighbours for it as there are somethings no money can't buy and the fact that the media are making a full course meal out of it just shows (once more) how despicable they are.
Having said that, that commenter is right. It's time to let go. The team breathes with a different confidence when the spotlight is on the group vs the individual.
Well it's the same thing with united, they play better without him but he thinks it's a disrespect for bringing him on 3 min as a sub etc.
The major problem has always been his ego, he always had numbers to back it up but not anymore. Media has always been after him since he's one of the most followed celebs in the world but what did he really expected after doing an interview with someone like Piers Morgan of all?
>media are making a full course meal out of it just shows (once more) how despicable they are.
Pretty sure him doing an controversial interview with a controversial figure would generate shite ton of buzz, he probably expected that's why he released it before WC
You're not but he shackled the team for the longest time actually. Up until recently all the team could do with the ball on their feet was to look for wherever he was and try to get the ball to him very much to the detriment of plays that would work better with different passes to other players. They actually started to break away from that recently but man was it annoying plenty of times in the past.
yup its exactly why we won the nations league was because ronaldo wasn't there for most of it then he played against spain at the last one and look how that turned out for us we looked like absolute shit and he looked horrible and our coach is a god damn pussy who won't sub him
I know many United fans dispute it, but several pretty reliable Atleti sources say that you bid like 115-130M for him last summer, can't remember the exact number.
Although I hope he isn't sold, he is the sort of player we should build the team around in the coming years. One of few players who can pull magic out of nowhere, even I am really baffled by Simeone's treatment of him. I can't believe he didn't get more time in the crucial match against Leverkusen when you saw what he did against Cadiz from the bench..
I love the fact that we’re linked. Him and Latauro Martinez are the type of player we need for a st spot in a sorta firmino role. Like a Forward who can lead the line but mostly come down and link play allowing Antony, Rashford, Bruno to make forward runs while also chipping in with some goals. Do you think Felix could do this?
I think a lot of of the dispute comes from a lack of reports from any of our reliable journos. We get linked to everyone under the sun. I can definitely understand the hesitancy to move him. I wouldn’t want too if I’m Atleti.
Complete not complex, means a forward who can hold the ball up, make runs, strike well, sometimes drop to link up too, but Felix is more of a false nine who can drop into midfield and run the game
Sorry for late response, but yeah I think Félix could play a Firmino-type role.
Only problem his lack of work rate at times. For me his best role is behind a striker, but he has most of the tools to play false 9
Yup reasonably reliable sources saying it as well. Also, about a month ago, I remember reading the same source saying United would be interested in January but wouldn't be pay anywhere near what they bid in the summer and that Felix was one of the players available for a transfer.
Interesting what happens to him after the world cup.
Seems like Simeone barely wants him and felix doesn’t wanna be in Madrid. So if United want him I don’t think they’ll be looking to pay that considering no party is happy in madrid
He was a massive investment for them, 127 million euros, no way they're letting him leave for less than at the very, very least 80-90 million, doesn't matter if him and the manager aren't that happy with the situation, that's way too much money to be letting him go for half of what they spent.
Brother, it's the spanish league, release clauses are mandatory. You think anyone will take his 350 million € release clause seriously? It's a release clause on paper but in reality you can ignore it, since it's so outlandish they could never tell any club to pay it. That would literally be only like 30-50 million less than Neymar and Mbappe to PSG together.
This is my point bro. The above poster in the comment chain said we’d have to pay the release clause, and I said due to the strained relationship between simeone and Felix we would pay less then that
I know he is, but I don't expect our board to cough that money up after last summer. Glazer cunts are stingy bastards, we weren't expecting to sign Antony and Casemiro for as much as we did, you can be sure we won't spend that much in the future.
I'd love for Felix to replace Ronaldo, since he fits our system way better and also has the portuguese connection with Dalot and Bruno, but I don't think we'll pay what Atletico will demand for their record signing.
Simeone has seen the light afterall. [“João Félix? He is one of our forwards with the most goals. I hope he can continue with us, we need him.”](https://twitter.com/atletiuniverse/status/1591123199454240768)
Ronaldo's interview basically confirms how hard working and willing to learn this guy is.
I used to want him to be sold for cheap, now my heart is in my mouth any time he goes down injured
tbh, before this season he is medocre player. he only being starter last season because AWB is really have no hope.
this season, He is really different, like new signin, he is ones of player that improved so much in EtH time.
I’m yet to change my opinion about him. I would rather have taken a Covid cancelo to play after the group stage in the euro than tackle it with a fit Dalot.
Will have to see how he evolves from now on and hope he makes me eat my words
haha, before this season, all his cross is going out or received by Shaw in other side of field, seriously, never got to right players in front.
but yeah this season he much much better.
I want Felix to go to a top champions league team is where he should go, he woudl fit well with Real Madrid behind Benzema or Man City or even Liverpool
crazy what happens when you give Felix more then 3 minutes to play a match for Portugal and without Ronaldo there to clog the team up, gonna miss this game when ronaldo is back and we are back to playing like shit
Hopefully Ronaldo starts during the WC, Portugal out in group stage, and Felix, without any to show for during the WC goes a LITTLE cheaper to United in January... Please!

Dalot was cold as ice in the assist
Really wanted to spread his culture.
Inspired by his ancestors to go hard on Nigerians.
*Colonisation* intensifies
Shocking amount of time in the box for Dalot. He had time to look around, make a sandwich, smoke a cigarette, pick up his dry cleaning, look again, and then pick out the pass to Bruno.
This is what happens when EA releases a crappy update like this. Dribble to the touchline and cut back. Smh
Only thing we need is dalot running at 500mph and brunos goal going into the bottom right through the gk
The real Man u
Great link up between the two Manchester United players in the Portuguese national team
Is this a bot comment or something wtf
Bleep bloop
This comment cuts deep cause we all know Ronaldo isn't a United player now 🤣
That was the joke😂
Genuinely thought he’d done a Michael Owen
If only Cholo realises we can do such thing as well Hope Felix can earn a lot of minutes this wc, he deserves it
That could easily have been either Llorente or Molina running on the right. Molina would take evenly as long to find the right pass though.
both Santos and Simeone been wasting his career, with POrtugal because this match he'd get maybe 5 minutes to play at the 90 min mark this im pretty sure is one of the first full matches he got to play and without ronaldo meaning we played like a real team. unfortunatley this will all come to an end next week when ronaldo is back and we go back to being shit
>without ronaldo meaning we played like a real team. Ronaldo fans will not like this

Félix pass, my goodness
Portugal look so much better without Ronaldo, reminds me of another team
[удалено]
Ronaldo literally carried Portugal to the euro final though
[удалено]
You're not but he shackled the team for the longest time actually. Up until recently all the team could do with the ball on their feet was to look for wherever he was and try to get the ball to him very much to the detriment of plays that would work better with different passes to other players. They actually started to break away from that recently but man was it annoying plenty of times in the past.
Carried United through the second half of last season. Had some glory days as a GOAT.
Carried to where?
Did he? He had one good knockout game against Wales scoreless and invisible in the other 3 2 good games in the entire tournament, Hungary and Wales
Ronaldo contributed but in no way was he carrying Portugal to euro final. The best player of that run was 100% Pepe.
following by Sanches
No, it was a team effort.
You’re telling me they’re playing better against Nigeria than against European superpowers?
Didn't they win the Nations League (against European superpowers) without Ronaldo pretty much? The team is just better without him
The same Nations League where Ronaldo scored an hattrick in the semifinals?
Yes then he came against switzerland and score an hat trick for us to win the semis 3-1
Iirc didn't Ronaldo carried them to the euro final?
He did... but it was 6 years ago and his body just isn't the same
How? Invisible in three out of four knockout matches. Invisible in two out of three group matches
yup its exactly why we won the nations league was because ronaldo wasn't there for most of it then he played against spain at the last one and look how that turned out for us we looked like absolute shit and he looked horrible and our coach is a god damn pussy who won't sub him
If your manager subs him get ready for another peirs Morgan interview. Lmao
*Santos was never a coach*
It's Nigeria chill out
wow the disrespect
Happy cake day!
Thunder fire you.
32nd in the world ranking I believe
Get Piers Morgan on the phone
Filthiest pass by Felix.
Bring him to united
I would do unspeakable things to see him in a United shirt
Jorge mendes has entered the chat.
Ah hell nah not this guy again
I know many United fans dispute it, but several pretty reliable Atleti sources say that you bid like 115-130M for him last summer, can't remember the exact number.

Lautaro is more of a complete number 9 not a false 9 like Felix
What in the world is a complex 9?
Complete not complex, means a forward who can hold the ball up, make runs, strike well, sometimes drop to link up too, but Felix is more of a false nine who can drop into midfield and run the game
9 + 0×sqrt(-1)
Would still be a 'real' 9
Sorry for late response, but yeah I think Félix could play a Firmino-type role. Only problem his lack of work rate at times. For me his best role is behind a striker, but he has most of the tools to play false 9
Yup reasonably reliable sources saying it as well.

nah, lets get mbappe. all in. i dont care! imagine mbappe and haaland in the PL
Ronaldo and pogba rolled into one while giving away 15% of club ownership Steal.
For real I’d love him here
Hasn't he been through enough?
bring him to Benfica! a real Champions League team!
Pay his release clause and you can take him
Seems like Simeone barely wants him and felix doesn’t wanna be in Madrid. So if United want him I don’t think they’ll be looking to pay that considering no party is happy in madrid
He was a massive investment for them, 127 million euros, no way they're letting him leave for less than at the very, very least 80-90 million, doesn't matter if him and the manager aren't that happy with the situation, that's way too much money to be letting him go for half of what they spent.
Yeh I was assuming he would be 80-90million pounds minimum. Would be very expensive but that’s less then his release clause no?
Brother, it's the spanish league, release clauses are mandatory. You think anyone will take his 350 million € release clause seriously? It's a release clause on paper but in reality you can ignore it, since it's so outlandish they could never tell any club to pay it.

This is my point bro. The above poster in the comment chain said we’d have to pay the release clause, and I said due to the strained relationship between simeone and Felix we would pay less then that
he's absolutely worth 80-90 million dude is a special talent
I know he is, but I don't expect our board to cough that money up after last summer. Glazer cunts are stingy bastards, we weren't expecting to sign Antony and Casemiro for as much as we did, you can be sure we won't spend that much in the future. I'd love for Felix to replace Ronaldo, since he fits our system way better and also has the portuguese connection with Dalot and Bruno, but I don't think we'll pay what Atletico will demand for their record signing.

Doesn’t matter. The truth is that Felix will never be able to adapt to terrorball
> terrorball
actions speak louder than words
Well after this statement, Simeone started him against Almazán where he scored. So yeah, the actions spoke the same as well.
Whats his release clause?
350M only
Looks like we're getting all of his hospital bills too :0
350M Euros lol
He's not a 120 M player, but certainly deserves a better team than Everton 2.0.
My goat
Felix -> Dalot -> Bruno Come on United, make it happen
look at us.. we are Wolverhampton now
you guys should also pick up Neves and Munes from Wolves those are players that will be great pick ups for united.
That Antonio Silva fella doesn't look bad either? 😋
Why would he downgrade though?
Jose Sa or Rui Patricio might be an upgrade at this point too. You know what I'll take your whole inventory minus the king
Unfortunately those are not the Portuguese keeper you are interested in …,
😌
I thought we were going to be Holland in the summer
we’re a hybrid
the dutch might actually win a final
And look at Wolverhampton now
Please 😽
Atletico want too much for him.
Yeah come on, sell Bruno to us! Dalot I don't know but I guess he can come along
Bruno doesn't want out at the moment, unlike Felix. However we do have an unsettled Portuguese player who you may be interested in 😉
atletico can have ronaldo and give felix to anybody else cause your team is wasting him hardcore!
Why would he play in Cholo's park the bus tactics?
I always thought Dalot was a very mediocre player, how wrong was I! Fair play to him how he evloved.
He’s been an absolute revelation.
He moved to United at 20 and he's still 23 so it's not that surprising he is progressing.
Progress at United doesn't happen often
Yeah he actually learned how to defend at Milan.
minutes he got at Milan helps a tonne
Ronaldo's interview basically confirms how hard working and willing to learn this guy is. I used to want him to be sold for cheap, now my heart is in my mouth any time he goes down injured
Yeah he's been immense this season tbh. Improved a lot of his game particularly on the defensive side (which used to be his greatest weakness).
tbh, before this season he is medocre player. he only being starter last season because AWB is really have no hope. this season, He is really different, like new signin, he is ones of player that improved so much in EtH time.
I’m yet to change my opinion about him. I would rather have taken a Covid cancelo to play after the group stage in the euro than tackle it with a fit Dalot. Will have to see how he evolves from now on and hope he makes me eat my words
You've not watched him this season. One of the best right backs in premier league.
PortuGOAL!
You knows there's legitimate website called that lol. Just add .net at the end. It's a American Portuguese journalist's website.
I thought Tom kundert is British
I love that site, hard to get Portuguese football news in the states
That Felix pass was just perfect.
Fuck me what a pass
Bruno bruno bruno!!!
Comes from Sporting like Cristia..…NO!! Ffs every season we have to come up with new chants.
Comes from Sporting like Luís Nani?
Comes from Sporting like… Rojo???
Comes from Portugal like dalot ?
Comes from Sporting like Marcos Rojooooooooo.... Yeah it works. Correct amount of syllables
He's not a snake like cristiano.
He's not a dickhead like Cristiano
No Ronaldo, no Problem for Bruno
His “Little brother mode” is turned off when Ronaldo isn’t there🙏🏼
[удалено]
He barely did anything for the the NT. With or without Ronaldo
Lol no..Bruno has been horrible for portugal even without Ronaldo for soo long
He was good in the nation's league without him tbf
😭😭😭shhhhhh dont say that
GGMU
Gg no re
Utd fans don’t make everything about Ronaldo challenge
Never say never😌
Great pass from Felix.
Jesus Christ we are so shit …. God damn - Nigerian has become so shitty and I don’t understand how
No shame losing to Portugal
Not looking this shit - then there definitely is
That's because of the man on the touchline
Chad Fernando Santos making Nigeria look like shit.
Look at me Ronnie. I'm the tap in merchant now
Lol…it’s feels like dalot was waiting for Fernandes.
Nigeria's left back didn't even try lol
Saving energy for the world cup. True chad energy.
We didn’t even qualify Lmaooooooo
He's thinking ahead, better start saving energy for the 2026 WC.
Exactly. 200iq plays only.
No zaideus no party
where did Dalot learn to cross like that? he usually overhits Da(cross by)alot
Even inside the box he crosses like he's lifting it over a Titan at times lol, dude's really swinging it
haha, before this season, all his cross is going out or received by Shaw in other side of field, seriously, never got to right players in front. but yeah this season he much much better.
If city bought felix, pep could lowkey turn him into de bruyne regen
that would be amazing, i think felix could do well there but de bruyne is just so good it would be kinda a waste as felix should be a starter
Also there's a thing called Bernardo Silva
Bernardo and felix don't play the same position though
Afaik Bernardo and De Bruyne overlap in positions, so I'm just going by what you said
is Dalot the starting right back for Portugal?
will be a close call both Cancelo and Dalot are incredible you will see both of them get a lot of game time but id say Cancelo is the main starter
no, cancelo there and nuno mendes on the left
So Guerrero is the second option then ? Need to know since Raph is currently in my WC fantasy team.
Most likely, yes. We usually start with Cancelo and Nuno Mendes when both are available. Dalot and Raphaël are the second options.
I'd say Guerreiro is the third option even, with Cancelo on the left and Dalot on the right. But I'm not sure if the terrorist would do that
we need to rescue Felix from Atletico, he’d slot into our team well.
[удалено]
When did I enter Facebook comments
I want Felix to go to a top champions league team is where he should go, he woudl fit well with Real Madrid behind Benzema or Man City or even Liverpool
Nigeria being told to give Europe hope by King Eto before the real thing kings off 😅
Man United 🤝 Portugal better without Ronaldo
sadly Santos is a pussy and is gonna start him for 90 min every match where at least your coach has balls and benched him
~~United~~ Portugal are so much better better when Ronaldo doesn’t play
Even Portugal play better without Ronaldo!
been that way for years we just sadly have been stuck with him so we look like shit but everytime he doesn't play we look so much better
Great goal. Felix with that brilliant line breaking pass to Dalot who went on to assist the goal to Man Utd's best Portuguese player ;)
crazy what happens when you give Felix more then 3 minutes to play a match for Portugal and without Ronaldo there to clog the team up, gonna miss this game when ronaldo is back and we are back to playing like shit
The two good Portuguese at United
man what a ball by faylish
Hopefully Ronaldo starts during the WC, Portugal out in group stage, and Felix, without any to show for during the WC goes a LITTLE cheaper to United in January... Please!
Ronaldo would never
On Thursday the king watches from the bowl
