Cristiano Ronaldo has asked to leave Manchester United...

What's he worth?
£10mill, £50mill, £80mill ??

Is it reckless to think it might not be a disaster if he goes, and I havent been part of the campaign against him on the forum.

I think with the Ten Hag style it might be a watershed moment and it could really see the explosion of Rashy and Sancho.

Probably get £10m for him tbf. He's nearly 38 ffs.

It will be a big reduction in the wage bill but how are we going to replace those goals?

Probably buying fridge magnets on las ramblas as we speak

Makes Jamie Vardy look like a spring chicken at this point. Conceded 4 against City & Scousers in 21 vs 15 in four league games in 22. The whole system needs ripping up & planning for a 38 year old box poacher to be leading the line week to week has been a huge part of the problem (even when he didn’t play, the team has been trained week to week to accommodate him). Reason Madrid shifted the likes of Raul at 33 & never looked back etc.

the team will get more goals anyway as the team job isn’t to get over half line and then try and cross it to him. he can’t even latch onto through balls due to a lack of pace so basically we are having to feed a slow fox in the box.

top teams play with dynamic forwards.
And the first part of that is starting off the press to win the ball back. He can’t do this and isn’t good enough to compensate for that as he can’t even run and is 37/38
you see how salah and mane can drift into wide areas and pick up the ball then finish off the goal themselves.
but in some of your “football brains” we are gonna compete with that by launching crosses into ronaldo every game.

yeah he got goals but at a big cost.

our problem is that our fan base is stuck in the past.
they want a saf clone as a manager, players that “want to play for the club”
This is a new day and things have changed.

our new era start should be off loading ronaldo and letting ETH build a team with the “decent” squad he has.

Spot on.
I’m not suprised others don’t get it and keep saying “he scores us lots of goals” ffs

Get Patrick Schick or Gnabry in to replace him

We’ll cope with it. We’ll roll with the punch. And it turns out Sancho can do a lot of it anyway, so..

This will be wrapped up pretty quickly. It’s obvious he has an offer from somewhere, no chance he’d put it out there that he wants out and risk nobody wanting him making him look a tit. I don’t mind but we need a replacement, a season of Rashford and Martial upfront is daunting

Your boy Fernandes will probably bag a few now Ronnie won't be cramping his style.

As a replacement, I bet we end up with that postman who looks like jamie Vardy

1. Get him to stay

2. Gnabry swap. Make it happen. New dynamic forward for no money.

Was inevitable. Won't necessary miss Ronaldo the 38 year old player, rather the fact that its just Cristiano Ronaldo looking to leave

Going home to Portugal would take the sting out of this. I'd be sick if Utd sold him to £#%&!ing Chelsea.

Napoli ffs

Sounds like Ronnie is unhappy there was no signings in June…

In all seriousness if it is down to the lack of ambition then yeah we all agree and hopefully it makes the @#%&!s running the show pull their £#%&!ing fingers out.

If he goes we need a new CF.

People talking about Rashford...

£#%&! no. Martial far better striker than Rashford, he can actually finish when he’s arsed

We need a new striker anyway but even more so if he goes.
