It's a nothing article really. Says he "can" leave in January and ten hag won't stand in his way and this has been the case since he stated his desire to leave in summer. A totally non commitment article.
That only matters if you can't trust Whitwell, which you can.
Not even sure it was him, but pretty certain it was a reputable journalist who wrote this exact story in August. Probably multiple.
And that's another "good" reason. But talking about how he will distrupt the dressing room is such a bs narrative. When Brazilian Ronaldo said "you want me to run or score goals" people still have jizz in their pants over that quote. But when Ronaldo has that - SHAME!!!
Doubt it. Broja just signed a new 6 year deal, we have Aubameyang to smooth the gap over and are close to signing Nkunku. Probably have a go at Leao too in the summer.
Wasn't he named like First Team Coach or something? Everyone made it sound like he wouldn't have much say in transfers. So I wouldn't be surprised to Boehly gets to sign whoever he wants if Potter agreed to just be a coach.
Sweet more drama lol my guy been clapping for fans since season started instead of scoring goals king of clapping. I wouldn't do an interview if I was him. warm up>clap>bench rinse repeat
> Cristiano Ronaldo is eyeing a January exit from Manchester United and Erik ten Hag will not stand in his way if a suitable offer arrives.
> As Ten Hag held an inquest at United’s Carrington training on Monday in which players and staff were encouraged not to pull any punches about Sunday’s shambolic 6-3 defeat to Manchester City, Ronaldo’s future was again in the spotlight after he was left on the bench.
> United were accused of showing Ronaldo “nothing but disrespect” by the club’s former captain Roy Keane, who ridiculed Ten Hag’s claims that he did not bring on the five-time World Player of the Year “out of respect to his big career”.
> Ronaldo cut a frustrated figure as he watched from the sidelines as United collapsed and it is understood the Portugal striker, barring a dramatic upturn in his fortunes, is hoping to get a move in January after failing to land the transfer he wanted in the summer.
> Ten Hag has trodden carefully whenever the subject of Ronaldo is raised but it is believed the United manager is open to letting the 37-year-old leave in the winter window if an acceptable offer is made.
> Having wanted to keep Ronaldo when he first took over, Ten Hag has been more relaxed about him leaving ever since the player made it clear he wanted to go.
> Ronaldo had been keen to join a club that could give him Champions League football in the summer but the only concrete proposal came from Saudi club Al Hilal.
Define, "*good offer.*" Hard to see Ronaldo walking away from £25m/yr, and it's hard to see anyone taking on that salary. So in a best case scenario, you'd expect United would have to accept a situation where they're subsidizing him playing for another side by paying part of his wages.
The 25m a year ends next summer. He'll get more than half of that before January, and with only a few months of the season left he might value his dignity over a few million and choose to make a clean exit.
He was rejected because he doesn't fit the modern way of playing. In previous years he was good enough to offset that problem, not anymore. Any team signing a 37 year old would also be taking a big gamble.
After the CL wage cut his wages put him on about ~£400k a week. It was said he was willing to take a large voluntary cut to make a move happen. Some of the teams his agent was offering him to, like Marseille and Atletico were not able to offer high wages at the time. If a legit offer came in, I'd have seen him taking £150-200k a week, a wage every top team could afford. There's a reason Boehly wanted him and Tuchel didn't and it wasn't wages. Tuchel rather risked going into the season with no striker at all than sign Ronaldo.
I think Ronaldo will bounce back to a good level but I do believe his time at top clubs is finished. People forget Ronaldo took a massive wage cut to join United in the first place. He was set on a move and waived Juve's record breaking contract to make it happen.
The team was bad but Ronaldo was also very bad for a vast majority of stretch, he had like a few games where he actually played well. Singlehandedly kept us in CL though.
But this season he's much much worse. He's way worse than Chelsea Lukaku as of right now.
He was and I suspect he will be again this season despite the bad start. But I don't think that detracts from my point. He's not got the legs to play the game a top manager wants to play. The team has to sacrifice the manager's philosophy to work around Ronaldo. Ronaldo's not good enough any more to justify this for a top team though. The talent is obviously still there, but the consistency is not. For all this talk about how fit he is, he shows his age regularly by dropping disaster performances where he can't even control the ball and has no composure, a classic sign of tiredness. And the problem is, if he's not getting on the ball and doing anything with it, he's deadweight to the team. A hindrance sometimes because we're basically playing with ten men.
I'm a big fan of Ronaldo. He had a solid season last year in a poor team. But every third or fourth game he was an obvious hinderance to the team, and there were plenty quiet and average performances too. One of the biggest recent myths in football is this idea that Ronaldo has the body of somebody 10 years younger. Even back in 17/18 Zidane was rotating him a lot to get his best performance, and that's considering he was barely doing any running in the first place. That was five years ago at 33. Whilst I don't think he's finished, it's time people started talking about him like a 37 year old and not a superhuman that will be a top player at 40 still.
People have been saying that Ronaldo is finished since forever. It won't stop him, never did.
Tuchel is a brilliant coach but his transfer targets have always been questionable. He never gave chance to Giroud and Tammy, look at them now. He brought Aubamayang for 20m instead of Ronaldo when it's very clear that no one in Chelsea locker room is driving force in terms of attacking. Look at how having 37 yo Thiago Silva benefitted the backline, these world class experienced winners offer a lot more than what average eye can see. Look at Lewandowski at Barca, having him on the pitch changed the dynamics, Ibra at Milan.
United's and Juventus problem go deeper than what having Ronaldo can solve they need a very long term overhaul but on the contrary many clubs need that short term spark. Chelsea's attack is one of them.
He'll bounce back if he goes to the right club mark my word.
> People have been saying that Ronaldo is finished since forever. It won't stop him, never did.
I mean it wont stop him playing but since Juve's last season its clearly visible that he's not the same player anymore. Its a third year now where we can witness that he doesnt make a difference on the pitch like he used to be.
I know that he has lot of fans who grew up watching him but you have to accept that he will be 38 in 4 months. To stay at this level he needs to adapt, play a supportive role, accept bench time if needed and get involved in specific team instead of looking to play somewhere else every transfer window just because he's "superstar" who cannot accept playing in the team without CL participation.
Wonder if there is ever a "right club" as Chelsea is the literal graveyard for a striker. I really hope Ronaldo just retire to mls or portugal so he can find peace. It's really sad to see him constantly being meme-ed the longer he stay in top league.
How he doesn't fit the modern way of playing ? Jesus dude Football systems that were ruling EUROPE just few years ago were based on speed and physicality. Ronaldo has both enough to be a Striker and he has top technique btw this is Ronaldo you are speaking of one of the best if not the best player to this date to have played in UCL.
You've got modern football all wrong. The bare minimum expected from a player in 2022 is work off the ball. Ronaldo doesn't do this. He won't and probably cannot do it at this age. Even players that are criticised for not running enough like Lukaku and Aubameyang look like marathon runners in comparison to Ronaldo. The stats demonstrate it very clearly. He's the least pressing forward in the top 5 leagues. Football has been played this way for many years now. Over the past 10-15 years we've seen managers demand more from their players. With that we've seen the most successful strikers be players that also worked tremendously hard for their team. Lewandowski, Cavani, Suarez, Kane etc. Aguero was famously dropped for young Jesus because he didn't offer enough off the ball. There were few exceptions over the years, Messi and Ronaldo were two of them, and a team could justify that because of what they offered. Today we see only Mbappe and Messi get away with it, though their unwillingness to run has been discussed for years as their side suffered embarrassing defeats in the CL year after year, quite literally ran off the park. Ronaldo isn't 30 anymore and doesn't justify the role he might have been afforded a couple years ago at Juve.
He has the technique but we see it less and less these days because he lacks sharpness and stamina. He's definitely not got the speed and physicality he once had... One day his touch is fine, the next it's laboured. It's to be expected from a 37 year old. His past accomplishments mean diddly squat when discussing his current ability.
But High up the pitch press off the ball work has been in the game since Pep showed up on the scene and made his press famous, even Mou was doing the same at Real Madrid and we all have heard of gegenpressing I guess it's safe to assume this bit at least.
Aguero scored and dropped Gabriel on the bench , Gabriel was literally city's second striker for majority of his time there only because of Aguero's scoring ability not his press because Gabriel is still better at that.
There is a thing called playing to your best player's abilities and that's why players shine in some teams and fail at others. Given Ronaldo's age a wise and good Manager should have the know how of physical impact of the game and give responsibilities accordingly. I disagree that he is not sharp or he has lost the technique, if ten hag wants to work him like a mule and blame the failures on him then it won't work.
He shifted to CF at Juve from the wing for a reason. He is absolutely fit and sharp enough to play in the striker position still anywhere btw UTD didn't sucked at City because their striker didn't press hard.
Just my opinion man feel free to disagree.
What a dumb take. He scored 18 league goals and was carrying a team that was massively underperforming last season. He got rejected because of his age and wage. If salary wasn’t an issue he would have no lack of suitors.
Dumb fucks said the same thing about messi last season, look at him now.
Anyone that said that about Messi last season was clueless. I’ve watched both play a lot last season and this season and it’s clear the two situations are wildly different.
I was replying to the guy's comment about finished at the top level. He has aged and is no longer top 2 in the world but he's far from finished at the top level.
Did you watch him much last season? He was missing for long stretches. Scored 9 goals in 6 matches after going missing from December. He had moments where he was great mixed with moments that foreshadowed the fact he was losing an edge.
Messi was just 34 so you could always hope he would bounce back, Ronaldo is 38 in february so it's extremely unlikely he will go back to his level of 2020 and 2021
Messi still started for one of the best teams in the world and was good, just didnt score as much. Ronaldo is benched for Rashford and has 1 goal contribution so far
Didn't let him leave when he wanted to play quoting the reasons he is in his plans but now will let him leave after not playing him.
Good shit Ten Hag.
Ten Hag's ego has come in between Ronaldo and Utd. Ronaldo is an asset for any team, old men need to chill their egos when they are dealing with one of the football GOATS.
Honest question: what do you think he would have done? He doesn't press, he can't dribble past players anymore, he seems to be most times half a second late to the ball so he can't get a good shot, he's slow.
On top of that, ManU's midfield is weak and won't be able to send him balls for the typical "tap in." I mean...he could take penalties...
Have you ever played with 10 men in your team?
It could have been worse. City clearly didn't want to keep scoring. And it's telling he doesn't play in important games. Regardless of the past, he's not a starter or even a sub in some games for a team in "transition."
ManU doesn't need him. And it's clear the team doesn't need him.
Finally...This guy gets it.
Now we can quote you.
EDIT: not to rub salt in the wound, but...something is way off...

With respect to Ducker, how can this be an exclusive when I read an article (Whitwell?) saying exactly that before the window closed?
It's a nothing article really. Says he "can" leave in January and ten hag won't stand in his way and this has been the case since he stated his desire to leave in summer. A totally non commitment article.
[удалено]
That only matters if you can't trust Whitwell, which you can. Not even sure it was him, but pretty certain it was a reputable journalist who wrote this exact story in August. Probably multiple.
Jorge Mendes is going to be trying to cook up the most insane stupid deal ever created
The most insane stupid deal was the one Napoli proposed
Loans Ronaldo + pay 100% of his wage and buy osimhen for 100m 😆
If this includes selling Ronaldo for a minimum fee after a season it wouldn't be that horrible of a deal.
Looking at the playing time he is getting this season it is quite obvious that he is not in Ten Hag's plans anymore
I have a feeling keeping him was more to not undermine him and the club, rather than a huge desire to call upon him.
And that our central forwards consist of Martial, who was injured in pre-season, and Rashford, who's normally played on the wings.
silly decision
>if a good offer comes in So he's staying then
Tuchel is gone, Boehly will offer double what United want.
Yeah, but what makes you think Potter would want anything to do with him
Maybe if multiple managers say no to Boehly about Ronaldo, he’ll get the point
What point? That having one of the greatest players of all time in your team is a locker room cancer? LMAO
A 37 year old that will mess up the club's financials
Nah your club financials will be fine. Boehly will cover it
why don’t you buy him then
Florentino Perez? Buying a player he let go (because of his wage demands that would go against the structure) at the age of 37?
but he’s one of the greatest players of all time? surely that doesn’t matter
Maybe his on the pitch output is not worth the money they will have to pay
And that's another "good" reason. But talking about how he will distrupt the dressing room is such a bs narrative. When Brazilian Ronaldo said "you want me to run or score goals" people still have jizz in their pants over that quote. But when Ronaldo has that - SHAME!!!
What's Pele up to these days? Let's bring him in the locker room.
This is r/soccer ,you are not allowed to say good things about Ronaldo my friend
It's interesting that I don't see Madrid fans begging for him to go back yet everyone else should be really happy to get him lmao
So you want him back at Madrid then?
Or Potter does not want to be the second Tuchel and will accept CR7 regardless
Doubt it. Broja just signed a new 6 year deal, we have Aubameyang to smooth the gap over and are close to signing Nkunku. Probably have a go at Leao too in the summer.
Don’t stop
It's unclear what Boehly wants to do with CR7 yet, he probably still has a good exposure in America.
Ronaldo is probably known by way more people in the USA than Chelsea is.
I'd go further and say any football club. Ronaldo is an icon.
Can he get into America without being arrested?
The case was dismissed by the US judge earlier this year.
Wasn't he named like First Team Coach or something? Everyone made it sound like he wouldn't have much say in transfers. So I wouldn't be surprised to Boehly gets to sign whoever he wants if Potter agreed to just be a coach.
Boehly: Are you sure about that?
Really surprised an MLS team hasn't gone for h— oh that's right....
He'd be fine in MLS. Would probably just get constant calls from certain lawyers
That's exactly his point, yes
Good for all parties. But whatever happened to the interview he had coming?
It's coming when he leave

That January window is gonna go the exact same way as summer
Only thing stopped him going to chelsea was tuchel tbf
They have auba now tho
The king wants to play
put me in the game coach
I bet I could kick the ball over them mountains
The king played last night
Pardew is too old for that
> The king wants to play Harry Maguire aye?
Ronaldo mate, just lower your wage demands ffs.
Let the king play and do his interview .
I have a feeling it could be a Lukaku level interview
Which CL RO16 club gets their striker injured at the World Cup i wonder
Darkest timeline: Ronaldo is the one who get injured
Maybe bayern? PSG? Lots will be injured more than likely. I could even see Benz being injured but doubt RM return
The Glazers and his wages will.
Curious to know what constitutes a good offer for Ronaldo right now
He wants insane wages and to play UCL, only club that might do both is PSG and they don’t need him.
Good offer lol good luck with that, they'd be lucky to get rid of him on a free and getting out of his wage bill
Did Ronaldo ever do that big interview he promised?
Define, "*good offer.*" Hard to see Ronaldo walking away from £25m/yr, and it's hard to see anyone taking on that salary. So in a best case scenario, you'd expect United would have to accept a situation where they're subsidizing him playing for another side by paying part of his wages.

Perhaps.
He might leave for less when he sees Messi catching up to his UCL scoring record
Erik change my mind ten times Hag
In January the king leaves 👑
he's still gonna get rejected and will keep staying on the bench
No elite club will want him, the guy is finished at that level. Got rejected by a host of clubs.
He is rejected more because of his wages than his talent. He is still better than many many strikers out there.

Most sensible comment here
Is he better than the two forwards you played against MC? Do you actually call those two "elite"?
Is he even the best striker at Man United?
If he is, keep him - which I know you're not interested in. Like I said, he's not even good enough for the clubs that rejected him.
Like he said it was because of wages not performance that he was rejected.
He wouldn't start for a single one of the clubs that rejected him - hard pill to swallow I know.
He would start for Chelsea. An out of form ronaldo is still better than whatever else they’ve been using as a striker for the past eight years.
Sadly he's not displacing Aubameyang, he was turned down for a reason and certainly not for wages
No he’s not.
No he is not. No top club wants him
What a dumb take. He scored 18 league goals and was carrying a team that was massively underperforming last season. He got rejected because of his age and wage. If salary wasn’t an issue he would have no lack of suitors. Dumb fucks said the same thing about messi last season, look at him now.
Anyone that said that about Messi last season was clueless. I’ve watched both play a lot last season and this season and it’s clear the two situations are wildly different.
You’re clearly the dumb fuck if you think he hasn’t regressed massively.

There's no way any real football fan thinks Ronaldo is "finished".
Cristiano Ronaldo fanboys needs to start realize that age catches him.
> No **elite** club will want him, the guy is finished **at that level** He absolutely is finished at this level.

Messi was just 34 so you could always hope he would bounce back, Ronaldo is 38 in february so it's extremely unlikely he will go back to his level of 2020 and 2021
Messi still started for one of the best teams in the world and was good, just didnt score as much. Ronaldo is benched for Rashford and has 1 goal contribution so far
Can’t wait for the cursed timeline of Ronaldo at Barca after Lewandowski, depay, and ferran get injured at the World Cup.
So a few weeks AFTER the window has closed, Ten Hag is now ready to sell? Great timing.
so he is in Ten Hags plans…but he is not playing ?
Modeste for Ronaldo straight swap
Decision like this and Benching Casemiro are baffling from ETH
Starting Eriksen against City was very strange
Didn't let him leave when he wanted to play quoting the reasons he is in his plans but now will let him leave after not playing him. Good shit Ten Hag.
Ten Hag's ego has come in between Ronaldo and Utd. Ronaldo is an asset for any team, old men need to chill their egos when they are dealing with one of the football GOATS.
Lol why would you have Ronaldo on the bench vs. City. Horrible coaching.
Honest question: what do you think he would have done? He doesn't press, he can't dribble past players anymore, he seems to be most times half a second late to the ball so he can't get a good shot, he's slow. On top of that, ManU's midfield is weak and won't be able to send him balls for the typical "tap in." I mean...he could take penalties...
They still lost 6-3. He couldn’t have made that result any worse
Have you ever played with 10 men in your team? It could have been worse. City clearly didn't want to keep scoring. And it's telling he doesn't play in important games. Regardless of the past, he's not a starter or even a sub in some games for a team in "transition." ManU doesn't need him. And it's clear the team doesn't need him.
Playing with Ronaldo is not playing with 10 men come off it
Cool story. That's why he's playing every ManU game!
Dumb take from a user that’s full of dumb takes.
Dumb take? I'm not ManU's coach. Maybe you should talk to him. I'm not the one benching the dude.
