I think United had no choice but to sign Ronaldo, if he had gone to City it would have been a huge symbol of United's decline and being surpassed by City.

Slagging aside if Ronaldos gettin 25 a season surely this takes away then from Fernandes totals. Still think its a good move overall tho it will be interesting to watch all the egos at play

Roll on the first penalty - with United that could be in Ronaldos first 20 minutes.  ;D

Dunno what United team people here watch, buy United have been crying out for a striker. I know it was set up for next summer to make a big buy, but even last week with the Kane saga, I was hoping United would go for him as thar would give us a great chance this season, given that Kane will get 20 league goals. Ronaldo coming is better again though as he should get more than that in a poor season. So in a nutshell its a no brainer. Brilliant move off the pitch and on it. Other teams will be intimidated by him, he will free up space and occupy defenders etc. He will score lots of goals too and should be more available than Cavani.

With regards Ronaldo I'll wait for a few performances against the main defenders in the big games. He's 36 after all, while possibly the fittest 36 year old in the PL he'll struggle against the better defensive teams.
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

I thought Kane would be a great addition, but then I seen his antics at the Euros. Falling over, diving, going down like he was shot, and I thought feck that. I don't want to be watching that shite every week

He hasn't struggled up to now against any of the top teams in the world, never mind England.

As for Kane, have my doubts on his effectiveness long term. Seemed to peak pre his hundredth ankle injury in March 2018, not been the same since.

Ehhh, you do know Fernandes plays for United? If he played for any other club we'd be calling him biggest diver and yap in the PL

Ronaldo at 36 could still rip any defender in the PL a new one.

Any links to the game?

He just led the league in both goals and assists last season.

Whatever adjectives you wish to use about him, anything about being less effective is wrong.

Big 15 mins for Utd now, they have been 2nd best today. Would be a big win if managed to get the 3 points.

Wolves need to learn to play the whistle.

Completely switched off and conceded there.

Capt Pat

United lucky to get the win there. That shot frm Greenwood wasn't going in until the goalie touched it. At the other end Saiss kicked the ball at De Gea to make De Gea look like a hero with the save.
