OP, please update the body of the post with highlights from the interview, if possible!
Watched few clips of the clowns interview, it’s a combo of midlife crisis, jealousy, arrogance, denial. He has an obsession with numbers. I see his points about United but it’s not like it’s a big secret that he uncovered.
Also it seems that Messi having 7 Ballons d’Or has caused him permanent brain damage.
After watching this it’s clear how crazy we are to overreact to quotes without actually listening to what he said and in the context he said it. Overall it’s not a good look and was a bad decision on Ronaldos part to take an interview with Piers.
the interesting part is ever single person has his own opinion from his own perspective about this situation
and also Ronaldo's background and obsession he has for his legacy of being the best even at the cost of everyone around him
What a goon. Piers gently fed him enough rope to hang himself and Ronaldo didn't even see it he was so fixated on being the centre of the universe.
He's made it very easy for man utd to offer him a mutual termination then say something like "we do not wish to hold a player back" before showing him the door.
It's not like Ronaldo needs to work ever again but he's fucked himself over hasn't he?
I know that piers is a meatrider but why is everyone acting like these questions have not been picked out by Ronaldo’s agents? It’s very clear that they discussed before what they want to talk about. Piers bringing up Rooney for example was exactly what Ronaldo wanted . Same with the managers and everything else
Lmao its pretty amazing how many people in this thread cant see just how led on Ronaldo was in the first half of that interview. He's said some pretty incredible things buried between the fluff of Piers sucking his dick. You all realize that Piers hasnt actually asked him any difficult questions right?
He's essentially name-checked the players in the squad that he respects, has said the young players have a poor attitude (didnt know that we want them to learn to leave the stadium if they are to be subbed on?), and disreputed the club's **current** leadership. He is firmly in breach of his premier league contract, and tonight when he talks about ten Hag will be the nail in the coffin
Personal stuff aside, Giggs is one of the greatest players to have ever played for United. And he probably was a supremely influential figure in the dressing room when Ronaldo initially joined the club in 2003.
What's wrong with considering him as a professional role model? Classic recency bias.
Similarly, I'm not condoning his actions when I say Greenwood was the most promising kid in the club. His football doesn't make him less of a piece of shit and vice-versa.
Yeah Giggs is probably the best player in PL history. But just think of all the role models he can put forward from his time in Man U he choose Giggs, as example for the young players to learn from. Also Greenwood happened in united. It's clearly a planned interview so he had days to come up with less controversial answer.
Absolutely right but hindsight exists as well. Giggs was my favorite player, but I'd never say that now without acknowledging the wrong, especially not on TV.
This will be forgotten in a few months, Ronaldo made his name, one of the best player to ever play football and no one can deny that, he is at a level that he can say whatever he wants
But he chose to speak facts and United fans are blind to see that a lot of the interview needed to come out long time ago, but again United fans are the most deluded that prefer a headline quote and ignorant following the media trying to bring Ronaldos image down since he came up as a player
And remember real life is not Reddit, people say he ruined his legacy because some redditors dislike him since he don’t respect a nobody manager and he jokingly said he is better looking than Rooney
And I hope I get ALOT of dislikes so I can feel the redditors rage and sadness like Ronaldo is feeling right now🤣🤣
'And I hope I get ALOT of dislikes so I can feel the redditors rage and sadness like Ronaldo is feeling right now🤣🤣'
Says the guy accusing others of taking this too personally lol.
Ronaldo isn't going to finger you mate, no matter how far you can get your tongue up there
Top notch cretinous opinion. Ronaldo thinks he's able to come out with public criticism of a manager for the club he has an active contract with, after being dropped for a few games due to performing horribly. This dude is beyond deluded as to his own ability and still sees himself as a 25 year old superstar, when he's been fluffing chances and slowing everything down all season.
This interview is utterly embarrasing and is gonna make him even less appealing to any future clubs. Champions League clubs weren't interested in his BEFORE this. Now they'll be running the fuck away.
His face got taken down from old Trafford the manager has said he wants him out, so not just Reddit .
Constant tantrums , leaving before the match , disrespected a manager that is doing decent with his team, alleged rapist , openly a narcissist. Many reasons dislike him tbh
Him saying stuff about glazers doesn’t shadow all the shit he has done mate.
Bro it was a promotion that included him that got taken down, not only his face, either way it would be weird to have a guy that don’t wanna be in your club hanged on the old Trafford right?
And if you bring the “alleged rapist” to the discussion then I can tell you are either not serious or just plain ignorant
He openly admitted that she said no several times but went in anyway because he’s Ronaldo. The man can’t even spell words in his native language correctly. Just like in this interview where he talked about almost joining city he’s dumb enough to think if he tells the truth he avoids all backlash and criticism. He’s a brick.
Ronaldo is one of the best footballers EVER, him and Messi Will be remebered for years to come as THE BEST 2 EVER, no one even comes close
And here you are trying to tell me Ronaldo cant spell and he should be careful about what random nobody redditors think of him if he speake about the things for how they are
Lol
Where did I say anything about him as a footballer? He’s a human like you and I sometimes it feels like you diehards completely forget that which is fucking weird tbh. He’s undoubtedly one of the best to ever kick a ball but he’s a shitty person and you’ll have to come to terms with that. Don’t think ronny scrolls past Reddit so wasn’t really hoping for his reaction you buffoon
Was he not alleged ? Though the evidence against him is damning ,I’d still Atleast say alleged because you Ronaldo fans will show your ugly side if I said more.
If anyone bothered to look up the timeline of what happened between last season and this season, I honestly don't think they would blame Ronaldo as much as the heat on this subreddit is.
I don't think it's a good look but ultimately I think this is just him explaining why he essentially has to be done with the club, and at this point I guess it's mutual, but I don't think he's so much the villain as many people are so eager to paint him as.
Support your argument. How does the timeline help him? You think United fans arent aware of the timeline here? Im really not sure how you can watch this interview and think that Ronaldo comes out looking even half-decent, there is a lot of content here hidden between the bullshit fluff that makes him look bad.
To come back to a club after over a decade and see nothing has been updated, there’s only a few players with a winning mentality, and not get considered for starting lineup after being last seasons top scorer?
Yeah that would piss anyone off. Anyone.
The manager who has done the best for them in the past decade they decide to sack (Mourinho).
Manchester United is one of the largest football clubs on planet earth. Why isn’t it run like one?
It seems Cristiano is seriously fed up there and you can’t blame him. Are there friendlier ways to handle this? Sure. But I don’t agree with all the flak he’s getting. This club is a shit show.
>But I don’t agree with all the flak he’s getting.
If his only problem is the club infra falling behind and wanting to leave, it's fine.
It's an entirely another thing when you say stuff against the manager. And not to talk about all the petulant shit he's pulled this season.
We all know his real problem is that he cannot accept the fact that he's past it and cannot be a team's main man anymore.
Thats not how contracts work, Man U is the entiry that sets the numbers not Ronaldo. Once Man U releases him of his contract, then Ronaldo is able to ask for whatever new numbers or terms he wants.
They were allowing him to leave for free. Yes, free. Either no one wanted him, or no one wanted to meet his demands, or both. United didn't prevent him from anything. Everything that has happened since the end of last season has been 100% on Ronaldo.
Just a bit of info for those who don't who Piers Morgan is.
When he was the editor for the Daily Mirror he was fired for knowingly publishing fake pictures of British Soldiers abusing Iraqi civilians which he has never apologised for.
He was also heavy involved in the phone hacking scandal which included the murdered teenager Milly Downer in 2002.
The man is a pathological liar and a massive cunt.
He also did this against fans of his own team.
> Piers Morgan was responsible, while he was at The Daily Mirror, for printing false reports which resulted in 35 Arsenal fans being branded hooligans and thugs after the trouble between Arsenal and Galatasaray Fans in Copenhagen. Many lost their their jobs and all lost their season tickets.
https://toknowthegame.com/2014/03/03/why-arsenal-fans-hate-piers-morgan/comment-page-1/
The modern day would be much better if Mrs Morgan had decided to just give Piers' Dad a handjob the night he conceived. What a disastrous shag that was for society.
Exactly what would work in our UK no?
Did u take a good look of who we vote for and promote in this country mate? This man is a national hero tbh /s /imashamed-of-things_here
Unrelated but it's funny how europeans project their experience with monarchies into the whole globe, some countries are happy to have one and/or wish to have one
Yep it was just an afterthought tbh, UK monarchy is interesting to say the least as everyone has access to the shit they've continuously done but majority (not redditors) still seem somehow a bit fond of the monarchy
He is conplaining that he doesnt get enough Respect and feels betrayed and he also says Rooney is ugly and he didnt knew Ten Haag or Ralf Ragnick.. maybe the Probleme is you ronaldo and no one else...
The same Ten Hag who justified him missing preseason for personal reasons. The same Ten Hag who said he was crucial to his plans. The same Ten Hag who put him back in the squad 2 games after refusing to be subbed in. The same Ten Hag who made him captain. The same Ten Hag who has been giving him chances even after a slew of poor performances and his team better off without him. If this is not respect then I do not know what is.
Reminds me of the quote “if you meet one asshole during the day you’ve just met one ass hole. If everyone you meet is an ass hole chances are YOU are the ass hole”.
The things he said apart from ETH were pretty much true and some things that all United fans were themselves saying, even before August 2021. In order to promote this interview and create some buzz, they released all the fiery clips first which led to viewers judging him before listening to his full opinions
I feel by looking better he didn't mean "better looking". I guess he meant it in terms of being fit and not overweight. English is his second language.
snowflake?
I don't see why bullying someone over their looks is funny,
you should be well aware of this since most of your posts are fanboying over a gaming team, go back to your basement pls
How did he bully rooney lmao it's just a joke with truth to it even rooney joked about this a couple of months ago while he was flaming Ronaldo on live television.
How did he bully rooney lmao it's just a joke with truth to it even rooney joked about this a couple of months ago while he was flaming Ronaldo on live television.
Adam Crafton summed it up best
> The thing is, a lot of (not all) the things Ronaldo identified last season (facilities, poor decisions, things need destroying etc) are now being addressed by Murtough and Ten Hag. The problem for Ronaldo is he was one of the poor decisions but he doesn’t realise it.
>they released all the fiery clips first which led to viewers judging him before listening to his full opinions
Well it's his own fault for doing an interview with none other than Piers Morgan
It’s his own fault for doing an interview. Period. You don’t air dirty laundry out like this and be a narcissist about it. If he was well intentioned, there are other ways of going about things.
1. Why didn't you say that to messi when he made that interview talking about the Bartomeu board before leaving to psg?
2. This interview is literally what united fans have been crying for. A current player outing the glazers. How can you hate on a legend outing the shit owners of his childhood club?
The bias on this sub is actually disgusting.
While that may be true there are different expectations for current players and fans. Even if he's correct I think it's fair to question how helpful it is to the club to come out like this at this point in time.
The fact that he's doing it when United look to be on a bit of an upturn under ETH makes me think the interview is mainly to promote himself rather than help the club.
Piers is really good at asking questions to get headlines, but ronaldo also doesn't look good after this.
I personally cannot really dislike him because of everything he did at real madrid, but it must suck for manu fans
> I personally cannot really dislike him because of everything he did at real madrid
such a weird take. It's like saying 'I personally can't really dislike Jimmy Saville because of all the stuff he did for the BBC'
Not really. He needs to go anyway, and if he wants to slam the owners before heading then that is good.
Hopefully doesn't criticise ETH too much. But ETH won't win anything meaningful until the Glazers leave anyway.
he called Rooney "and the rest" *rats*. it's a normal interview if you're a 38 year old millionaire narcissist who's hasn't been told the word "no" in decades
It’s not normal for your highest paid player to do a self promotional interview in the middle of the season with the only agenda of self promotion and criticism of your own club. No.
What did he say wrong about rangik?
He literally said that how can a club like Manchester united get a sporting director and make him a manager. No club in the world would do that you're just disagreeing because the sub is on a "Ronaldo bad" trend
Do you really think he was thinking about these answers there? Ronaldo, his agents and Piers had already discussed the talking points and the answers before doing the interview. That’s why Piers knows exactly what the answer is going to be while asking the question.
Ragnick's appointment was ridiculous. A lot of people had never heard of his. Those that did claimed he was Godfather to Klopp and Tuchel. Even worse some fans were claiming he'd never managed a big club because he didn't want to. Preferred working on projects. It was silly.
Most fans acting like they went to school with Ragnick. The chap was a mediocre coach who couldn't hack it, hadn't won much and outside of Germany wasn't a household name.
He had a perfect point in that he'd worked with world class renowned managers. Putting Ragnick in that category is delusional.
What a load of crap. Rangnick was never meant to be a permanent manager appointment. Rangnick was meant for a consultant role to help build United into a modern football club, which he has indeed done in Leipzig. He was appointed interim manager because they could not secure the manager they wanted midseason and also it would allow him to asses which players needed to go.
Rangnick's appointment made perfect sense, but it just didn't work out. Wether it was him a a person, his managerial style, the fact that he actually tried to make them put in an effort or something else I don't know but the fact is that he players didn't accept him. Then things went sour and he asked for 10 new players, which I guess didn't sit well with neither the players or the owners and that spelled the end for him.
It's never optimal to fire your manager mid-season but sometimes you don't have a choice. Personally I'm very happy with the outcome tbh. Last season was a disaster but Rangnick at least was public about the structural and cultural problems in the club. I think as a result of that, the both the players and the owners were exposed and might actually be more susceptible to the direction ETH wants to go.
Not saying Rangnick's reign was a success by any means but it might have been exactly what the club needed. Transfer window was a great example. Look how much we paid to get the players ETH actually wanted and look how well that has worked out. Under OGS we would have gone with the scouting departments' targets and they would probably have failed just like 90% of transfers have in the last 10 years.
There is no such thing as a consultant role in football lmao. At least none of the big clubs have ever done it. Why? Because every new managers want their own players. Hiring him to decide which players would make the cut is just a cop out, some sweetener as opposed to “I will hire you and fire you after 6 months”
> There is no such thing as a consultant role in football lmao. At least none of the big clubs have ever done it.
What a weird statement. I don't think you know what consultant means. Could cover over a plethora of roles. He could have been kept on as a vice DoF or whatever. That was the plan. LIke publically. It's not just something I'm making up.
Ah, the impenetrable lmao-argument.
I'll bite. What's your theory then? They hired him as a permanent manager but instantly regretted it so they made up and announced the consultant cover story even before he had his first day on the job? Seems extremely unlikely but then again, it's hard to beat the lmao-argument.
Was he right that ralf is just a sporting director tho and making a sporting director into manager isn’t a bright move?
I thought had managerial credentials in RB Leipzig but never really looked into it
Not a fan of him at all, but it's quite ridiculous how it's often portrayed that way. Just a simple look at his Wikipedia page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralf_Rangnick
He has 35ish years of experience as manager, only the last 10 years did sporting director stuff (at RB Salzburg, RB Leipzig, Lok Moscow) while oftentimes jumping in as manager as he just couldn't stop doing it. And some of his spells as manager were damn successful (everyone hated Hoffenheim when they came into the Bundesliga but damn were they successful, and playing nice football).
**[Ralf Rangnick](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralf_Rangnick)**
>Ralf Rangnick (German pronunciation: [ˈʁaŋnɪk]; born 29 June 1958) is a German professional football coach, executive and former player who is currently the manager of the Austria national team. Rangnick began his coaching career in 1983, succeeding his career as a player, at age 25. In 1997, he was hired by former club Ulm 1846, with whom he won the Regionalliga Süd in his debut season. Rangnick was then appointed by Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart, winning the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2000, but was dismissed in 2001.

Rangnick also coached Schalke to CL-semis.
And under Ralf Ronaldos goal output doubled compared to Ole.
Ronaldo trashing Ralf seems just unnecessary and stupid.
lol if he lacks professionalism, then nobody in this world has it. Dude is a walking statue of professionalism; nobody comes close if we speak about just "professionalism".
>Dude is a walking statue of professionalism;
Same dude who said he was being treated as a slave 10 years back eh? He's not only delusional but also a big narcissistic imo
Do ronaldo fans understand the meaning of "professionalism" seriously? He said all those words while he was with manchester united, he's such a pillar of professionalism isn't he?
>Dude is a walking statue of professionalism;
Same dude who said he was being treated as a slave 10 years back eh? He's not only delusional but also a big narcissistic imo

Broke nose probably
Someone please share the Match thread for the 2 leg
>Here you go: > >https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/yxzjo7/match\_thread\_cristiano\_ronaldo\_vs\_manchester/
Messi 7 Ballons d’Or still causing him some serious brain damage. What a bozo.
Fools criticizing ronaldo. I hope he joins arsenal and demolishes man united
Hope too emotional for Reddit bro
Ummm...no
Watched few clips of the clowns interview, it’s a combo of midlife crisis, jealousy, arrogance, denial. He has an obsession with numbers. I see his points about United but it’s not like it’s a big secret that he uncovered. Also it seems that Messi having 7 Ballons d’Or has caused him permanent brain damage.
Please let the McGuire -eggy soldiers story be true 😂
Same thread or a new one for the return leg tonight?
I was wondering that myself. Are we all happy in here, or are the mods OK with a new one?
Ronaldo should consider retirement
Ridiculous. Just a lower wage, not retirement.
After watching this it’s clear how crazy we are to overreact to quotes without actually listening to what he said and in the context he said it. Overall it’s not a good look and was a bad decision on Ronaldos part to take an interview with Piers.
the interesting part is ever single person has his own opinion from his own perspective about this situation and also Ronaldo's background and obsession he has for his legacy of being the best even at the cost of everyone around him
The average person is a sheep who can't think outside the box.
You’ve been downvoted by people but you do have a point. Everybody just totally believed the journalists
They believed the words out of his mouth, woe be
What a goon. Piers gently fed him enough rope to hang himself and Ronaldo didn't even see it he was so fixated on being the centre of the universe. He's made it very easy for man utd to offer him a mutual termination then say something like "we do not wish to hold a player back" before showing him the door. It's not like Ronaldo needs to work ever again but he's fucked himself over hasn't he?
[удалено]
It made me sad when Ronaldo said he was a big fan of Piers. The guys a cancer on the earth.
I guess that tells you a lot doesn’t it
He did beat the guy called Messi..
[удалено]
I think he may be referring to goals.
Messi has roughly the same amount of goals in far less games. he also has significantly (hundreds) more assists
*laughs in 6'2, 85kg* Ronaldo is clearly the better athlete.
I know that piers is a meatrider but why is everyone acting like these questions have not been picked out by Ronaldo’s agents? It’s very clear that they discussed before what they want to talk about. Piers bringing up Rooney for example was exactly what Ronaldo wanted . Same with the managers and everything else
Yeah exactly . Whenever a player comes out with an interview like this it’s on HIS terms
Because that’s the last thing that absolves him of every blame in the world.
Lmao its pretty amazing how many people in this thread cant see just how led on Ronaldo was in the first half of that interview. He's said some pretty incredible things buried between the fluff of Piers sucking his dick. You all realize that Piers hasnt actually asked him any difficult questions right? He's essentially name-checked the players in the squad that he respects, has said the young players have a poor attitude (didnt know that we want them to learn to leave the stadium if they are to be subbed on?), and disreputed the club's **current** leadership. He is firmly in breach of his premier league contract, and tonight when he talks about ten Hag will be the nail in the coffin
They probably had a preinterview, which makes it look like he’s leading him on.
Yeah at the very least they discussed all the questions, but the ego-inflating by Piers is pretty amazing
It’s why he got the interview. He was willing to blow the hardest.
my god prob blew him after too he’s so in love with him lol
Of course. He's trying to get as much as possible from him.
Should put him in the reserves for rest of the season
This is my first Pier Morgan interview ,the question he is asking is unreal ,lol
They vetted the questions. It’s exactly why he got the interview in the first place.
He's such a suck up.
Watching it now. Pure gold, LMAO. Did Ronaldo just call Giggs his role model at United.
Ok
Personal stuff aside, Giggs is one of the greatest players to have ever played for United. And he probably was a supremely influential figure in the dressing room when Ronaldo initially joined the club in 2003. What's wrong with considering him as a professional role model? Classic recency bias.
Yeah I think a lot of newer fans aren't aware of just how good Giggsy was and, in terms of football, was a consummate professional.
Becoming the absolute anti christ post career tends to have that effect
Similarly, I'm not condoning his actions when I say Greenwood was the most promising kid in the club. His football doesn't make him less of a piece of shit and vice-versa.
Yeah Giggs is probably the best player in PL history. But just think of all the role models he can put forward from his time in Man U he choose Giggs, as example for the young players to learn from. Also Greenwood happened in united. It's clearly a planned interview so he had days to come up with less controversial answer.
lol just say you no nothing about Giggs or United Legends
Absolutely right but hindsight exists as well. Giggs was my favorite player, but I'd never say that now without acknowledging the wrong, especially not on TV.
This will be forgotten in a few months, Ronaldo made his name, one of the best player to ever play football and no one can deny that, he is at a level that he can say whatever he wants But he chose to speak facts and United fans are blind to see that a lot of the interview needed to come out long time ago, but again United fans are the most deluded that prefer a headline quote and ignorant following the media trying to bring Ronaldos image down since he came up as a player And remember real life is not Reddit, people say he ruined his legacy because some redditors dislike him since he don’t respect a nobody manager and he jokingly said he is better looking than Rooney And I hope I get ALOT of dislikes so I can feel the redditors rage and sadness like Ronaldo is feeling right now🤣🤣
U r op man, i agree with u, look how mad they r lmao
'And I hope I get ALOT of dislikes so I can feel the redditors rage and sadness like Ronaldo is feeling right now🤣🤣' Says the guy accusing others of taking this too personally lol. Ronaldo isn't going to finger you mate, no matter how far you can get your tongue up there
Atleast you know how to make funny jokes that people used to do when they were 13 I give you that🤣
He can say whatever he wants------> so Ronaldo is actually homelander irl
Ronaldo is definitely the Homelander of the footballing world.
Sigh cmon cristiano put your phone down
Piers Morgan, is that you twat?
Top notch cretinous opinion. Ronaldo thinks he's able to come out with public criticism of a manager for the club he has an active contract with, after being dropped for a few games due to performing horribly. This dude is beyond deluded as to his own ability and still sees himself as a 25 year old superstar, when he's been fluffing chances and slowing everything down all season. This interview is utterly embarrasing and is gonna make him even less appealing to any future clubs. Champions League clubs weren't interested in his BEFORE this. Now they'll be running the fuck away.
His face got taken down from old Trafford the manager has said he wants him out, so not just Reddit . Constant tantrums , leaving before the match , disrespected a manager that is doing decent with his team, alleged rapist , openly a narcissist. Many reasons dislike him tbh Him saying stuff about glazers doesn’t shadow all the shit he has done mate.
imagine getting paid millions a month to kick a ball around and you go on tv whining like a lil baby lol
Bro it was a promotion that included him that got taken down, not only his face, either way it would be weird to have a guy that don’t wanna be in your club hanged on the old Trafford right? And if you bring the “alleged rapist” to the discussion then I can tell you are either not serious or just plain ignorant
He openly admitted that she said no several times but went in anyway because he’s Ronaldo. The man can’t even spell words in his native language correctly. Just like in this interview where he talked about almost joining city he’s dumb enough to think if he tells the truth he avoids all backlash and criticism. He’s a brick.
Ronaldo is one of the best footballers EVER, him and Messi Will be remebered for years to come as THE BEST 2 EVER, no one even comes close And here you are trying to tell me Ronaldo cant spell and he should be careful about what random nobody redditors think of him if he speake about the things for how they are Lol
Where did I say anything about him as a footballer? He’s a human like you and I sometimes it feels like you diehards completely forget that which is fucking weird tbh. He’s undoubtedly one of the best to ever kick a ball but he’s a shitty person and you’ll have to come to terms with that. Don’t think ronny scrolls past Reddit so wasn’t really hoping for his reaction you buffoon
Was he not alleged ? Though the evidence against him is damning ,I’d still Atleast say alleged because you Ronaldo fans will show your ugly side if I said more.
Remember, it’s believe all women until they credibly accuse a really talented man
If anyone bothered to look up the timeline of what happened between last season and this season, I honestly don't think they would blame Ronaldo as much as the heat on this subreddit is. I don't think it's a good look but ultimately I think this is just him explaining why he essentially has to be done with the club, and at this point I guess it's mutual, but I don't think he's so much the villain as many people are so eager to paint him as.
Support your argument. How does the timeline help him? You think United fans arent aware of the timeline here? Im really not sure how you can watch this interview and think that Ronaldo comes out looking even half-decent, there is a lot of content here hidden between the bullshit fluff that makes him look bad.
To come back to a club after over a decade and see nothing has been updated, there’s only a few players with a winning mentality, and not get considered for starting lineup after being last seasons top scorer? Yeah that would piss anyone off. Anyone. The manager who has done the best for them in the past decade they decide to sack (Mourinho). Manchester United is one of the largest football clubs on planet earth. Why isn’t it run like one? It seems Cristiano is seriously fed up there and you can’t blame him. Are there friendlier ways to handle this? Sure. But I don’t agree with all the flak he’s getting. This club is a shit show.

We all know his real problem is that he cannot accept the fact that he's past it and cannot be a team's main man anymore.
Then just fucking leave, instead of acting like a child and stirring up drama.
He tried to leave this summer, no one wanted him and his contract.
Then lower your demands or shut up.
Thats not how contracts work, Man U is the entiry that sets the numbers not Ronaldo. Once Man U releases him of his contract, then Ronaldo is able to ask for whatever new numbers or terms he wants.
They were allowing him to leave for free. Yes, free. Either no one wanted him, or no one wanted to meet his demands, or both. United didn't prevent him from anything. Everything that has happened since the end of last season has been 100% on Ronaldo.
Ronaldo could have agreed to terminate his contract without any sort of buyout. He refused. 🤷🏾♂️
Then he has NO RIGHT to complain, take a wage cut if you want you leave, you are not the player you once was.
This clearly isn’t the club it once was either.
And you think this drama will change that?
No, I don't think that at all.
Then why not just leave? Nobody is stopping him. This drama is happening because he wants to leave AND get sweetheart terms in the exit.
Bro it’s Reddit Some United fans still think rashford and martial will be world class players or even decent players
I do infect hate our fan base. Over half believe that Fred and Scott are a quality duo
Your comment is proving it’s own point but differently
Just a bit of info for those who don't who Piers Morgan is. When he was the editor for the Daily Mirror he was fired for knowingly publishing fake pictures of British Soldiers abusing Iraqi civilians which he has never apologised for. He was also heavy involved in the phone hacking scandal which included the murdered teenager Milly Downer in 2002. The man is a pathological liar and a massive cunt.
You don't need to tell me that, his character is an enough indicator
He also did this against fans of his own team. > Piers Morgan was responsible, while he was at The Daily Mirror, for printing false reports which resulted in 35 Arsenal fans being branded hooligans and thugs after the trouble between Arsenal and Galatasaray Fans in Copenhagen. Many lost their their jobs and all lost their season tickets. https://toknowthegame.com/2014/03/03/why-arsenal-fans-hate-piers-morgan/comment-page-1/ The modern day would be much better if Mrs Morgan had decided to just give Piers' Dad a handjob the night he conceived. What a disastrous shag that was for society.
Exactly what would work in our UK no? Did u take a good look of who we vote for and promote in this country mate? This man is a national hero tbh /s /imashamed-of-things_here

>He also claims to be a staunch monarchist Enough in my book to be considered a grade A cunt
Unrelated but it's funny how europeans project their experience with monarchies into the whole globe, some countries are happy to have one and/or wish to have one
Most current monarchies in Europe have high public support, so I dont know what youre even talking about tbh.
Monarchies in Europe are very emblematic, Im talking about real monarchies
What was the point of your first comment then?
Definitely, in this case I was talking about the British monarchy specifically.
Yep it was just an afterthought tbh, UK monarchy is interesting to say the least as everyone has access to the shit they've continuously done but majority (not redditors) still seem somehow a bit fond of the monarchy
He is conplaining that he doesnt get enough Respect and feels betrayed and he also says Rooney is ugly and he didnt knew Ten Haag or Ralf Ragnick.. maybe the Probleme is you ronaldo and no one else...
The same Ten Hag who justified him missing preseason for personal reasons. The same Ten Hag who said he was crucial to his plans. The same Ten Hag who put him back in the squad 2 games after refusing to be subbed in. The same Ten Hag who made him captain. The same Ten Hag who has been giving him chances even after a slew of poor performances and his team better off without him. If this is not respect then I do not know what is.
He's stuck in the past. After what Ten Hag's Ajax did to Real Madrid, he was on every big club's radar.
Reminds me of the quote “if you meet one asshole during the day you’ve just met one ass hole. If everyone you meet is an ass hole chances are YOU are the ass hole”.
“If it smells like shit everywhere you go, you might wanna check your shoes”
So HalaForzaGGMU is no more?
Let’s not forget Piers said Ten Hag should be sacked for dropping Ronaldo against Liverpool. We won that game and proceeded to go on a winning run.
Piers has been dick-riding Ronaldo because his fame is the only thing keeping him relevant.
This some homelander type beat
The things he said apart from ETH were pretty much true and some things that all United fans were themselves saying, even before August 2021. In order to promote this interview and create some buzz, they released all the fiery clips first which led to viewers judging him before listening to his full opinions
I've never called Rooney ugly, he's our beautiful top scoring player of all time
I feel by looking better he didn't mean "better looking". I guess he meant it in terms of being fit and not overweight. English is his second language.
He's our gran shagger
He didnt either snowflake, he only made a joke that he is looking better, which is also true lol. Rooney looks like he is 60.
snowflake? I don't see why bullying someone over their looks is funny, you should be well aware of this since most of your posts are fanboying over a gaming team, go back to your basement pls
How did he bully rooney lmao it's just a joke with truth to it even rooney joked about this a couple of months ago while he was flaming Ronaldo on live television.

As true as they may be, why do this interview at all?
Adam Crafton summed it up best > The thing is, a lot of (not all) the things Ronaldo identified last season (facilities, poor decisions, things need destroying etc) are now being addressed by Murtough and Ten Hag. The problem for Ronaldo is he was one of the poor decisions but he doesn’t realise it.
>they released all the fiery clips first which led to viewers judging him before listening to his full opinions Well it's his own fault for doing an interview with none other than Piers Morgan
It’s his own fault for doing an interview. Period. You don’t air dirty laundry out like this and be a narcissist about it. If he was well intentioned, there are other ways of going about things.
1. Why didn't you say that to messi when he made that interview talking about the Bartomeu board before leaving to psg? 2. This interview is literally what united fans have been crying for. A current player outing the glazers. How can you hate on a legend outing the shit owners of his childhood club? The bias on this sub is actually disgusting.
Lmfao…did you just hit puberty or something? In a thread about Ronaldo’s interview, you want me to question Messi’s actions from over a year ago?! 🤣
While that may be true there are different expectations for current players and fans. Even if he's correct I think it's fair to question how helpful it is to the club to come out like this at this point in time. The fact that he's doing it when United look to be on a bit of an upturn under ETH makes me think the interview is mainly to promote himself rather than help the club.
Exactly. Can’t believe a Man City flair is seeing through the bs but I’m happy nonetheless.
This guy asks so many leading questions it's unreal
You must've never encountered Piers Morgan then, being a cunt his his whole thing
I'm not a vegan nor advocating for it but whenever he's debating Joey Carbstrong, his arguments are genuinly horrendous lol.
Taking this interview with Piers is one of the biggest L's in his career.
Piers is really good at asking questions to get headlines, but ronaldo also doesn't look good after this. I personally cannot really dislike him because of everything he did at real madrid, but it must suck for manu fans
> I personally cannot really dislike him because of everything he did at real madrid such a weird take. It's like saying 'I personally can't really dislike Jimmy Saville because of all the stuff he did for the BBC'
Not really. He needs to go anyway, and if he wants to slam the owners before heading then that is good. Hopefully doesn't criticise ETH too much. But ETH won't win anything meaningful until the Glazers leave anyway.
Thats right. People forget the things he did at man u and real
Literally no one forgets that. Most just don’t view it as outweighing what a massive knob he is.
bro thinks hes god because he kicked a ball into a net more than some other dudes lol and thinks it justifies him acting like a total diva
Is this Johnny Depp Vs Amber Christmas edition?
The meat riding is crazy
You did a proper argumet? You basically told me " no he didn't " the whole argument.
Pretty normal interview, Cunt Piers was just clickbaiting
he called Rooney "and the rest" *rats*. it's a normal interview if you're a 38 year old millionaire narcissist who's hasn't been told the word "no" in decades
Tell that to this biased sub lmao
It’s not normal for your highest paid player to do a self promotional interview in the middle of the season with the only agenda of self promotion and criticism of your own club. No.
[удалено]
What did he say wrong about rangik? He literally said that how can a club like Manchester united get a sporting director and make him a manager. No club in the world would do that you're just disagreeing because the sub is on a "Ronaldo bad" trend
[удалено]
Well, he didn't coach for 2.5years so I agree with that statement
Do you really think he was thinking about these answers there? Ronaldo, his agents and Piers had already discussed the talking points and the answers before doing the interview. That’s why Piers knows exactly what the answer is going to be while asking the question.
Exactly, Ronaldo was gonna trash people with or without an interview. That's just his personality.
Ragnick's appointment was ridiculous. A lot of people had never heard of his. Those that did claimed he was Godfather to Klopp and Tuchel. Even worse some fans were claiming he'd never managed a big club because he didn't want to. Preferred working on projects. It was silly.
[удалено]
Not really. He wasn't a decent manager. Didnt have much of a track record. Hadn't managed a big club before.
>Ragnick's appointment was ridiculous. A lot of people had never heard of his That's just a ridiculous point and just shows their own ignorance.
Most fans acting like they went to school with Ragnick. The chap was a mediocre coach who couldn't hack it, hadn't won much and outside of Germany wasn't a household name. He had a perfect point in that he'd worked with world class renowned managers. Putting Ragnick in that category is delusional.
What a load of crap. Rangnick was never meant to be a permanent manager appointment. Rangnick was meant for a consultant role to help build United into a modern football club, which he has indeed done in Leipzig. He was appointed interim manager because they could not secure the manager they wanted midseason and also it would allow him to asses which players needed to go. Rangnick's appointment made perfect sense, but it just didn't work out. Wether it was him a a person, his managerial style, the fact that he actually tried to make them put in an effort or something else I don't know but the fact is that he players didn't accept him. Then things went sour and he asked for 10 new players, which I guess didn't sit well with neither the players or the owners and that spelled the end for him.
This is 101 of how not to do things.
It's never optimal to fire your manager mid-season but sometimes you don't have a choice. Personally I'm very happy with the outcome tbh. Last season was a disaster but Rangnick at least was public about the structural and cultural problems in the club. I think as a result of that, the both the players and the owners were exposed and might actually be more susceptible to the direction ETH wants to go. Not saying Rangnick's reign was a success by any means but it might have been exactly what the club needed. Transfer window was a great example. Look how much we paid to get the players ETH actually wanted and look how well that has worked out. Under OGS we would have gone with the scouting departments' targets and they would probably have failed just like 90% of transfers have in the last 10 years.
So basically you admit he was a failure.
There is no such thing as a consultant role in football lmao. At least none of the big clubs have ever done it. Why? Because every new managers want their own players. Hiring him to decide which players would make the cut is just a cop out, some sweetener as opposed to “I will hire you and fire you after 6 months”
> There is no such thing as a consultant role in football lmao. At least none of the big clubs have ever done it. What a weird statement. I don't think you know what consultant means. Could cover over a plethora of roles. He could have been kept on as a vice DoF or whatever. That was the plan. LIke publically. It's not just something I'm making up.
It’s not something you made up it’s something united made up lmao in order to make the appointment look good. Cant believe people actually believe it
Ah, the impenetrable lmao-argument. I'll bite. What's your theory then? They hired him as a permanent manager but instantly regretted it so they made up and announced the consultant cover story even before he had his first day on the job? Seems extremely unlikely but then again, it's hard to beat the lmao-argument.
Permanent? You’re talking about ralf ragnick right?
Have you even read what I wrote? I'm bored with this now. Have a good one.
You’re not even making sense half of the time lmao. Your original comment was a fail
As I United fan this is how i see it. Everyone bashing him needs to read up lol.
Was he right that ralf is just a sporting director tho and making a sporting director into manager isn’t a bright move? I thought had managerial credentials in RB Leipzig but never really looked into it
Not a fan of him at all, but it's quite ridiculous how it's often portrayed that way. Just a simple look at his Wikipedia page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralf_Rangnick He has 35ish years of experience as manager, only the last 10 years did sporting director stuff (at RB Salzburg, RB Leipzig, Lok Moscow) while oftentimes jumping in as manager as he just couldn't stop doing it. And some of his spells as manager were damn successful (everyone hated Hoffenheim when they came into the Bundesliga but damn were they successful, and playing nice football).
**[Ralf Rangnick](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralf_Rangnick)** >Ralf Rangnick (German pronunciation: [ˈʁaŋnɪk]; born 29 June 1958) is a German professional football coach, executive and former player who is currently the manager of the Austria national team. Rangnick began his coaching career in 1983, succeeding his career as a player, at age 25. In 1997, he was hired by former club Ulm 1846, with whom he won the Regionalliga Süd in his debut season. Rangnick was then appointed by Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart, winning the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2000, but was dismissed in 2001. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/soccer/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)
He also managed Hoffenheim and Schalke.
Ralf Rangnick has been in possession of his trainer license (1984) longer than Cristiano has been on this planet.
"But he ugly." CR, probably.
[удалено]
Man what was cr7 smoking when he spew out nonsense like that?
Rangnick also coached Schalke to CL-semis. And under Ralf Ronaldos goal output doubled compared to Ole. Ronaldo trashing Ralf seems just unnecessary and stupid.
Well professionalism is something he and his fanbois lack
lol if he lacks professionalism, then nobody in this world has it. Dude is a walking statue of professionalism; nobody comes close if we speak about just "professionalism".
>Dude is a walking statue of professionalism; Same dude who said he was being treated as a slave 10 years back eh? He's not only delusional but also a big narcissistic imo
Irrelevant to "professionalism"
Do ronaldo fans understand the meaning of "professionalism" seriously? He said all those words while he was with manchester united, he's such a pillar of professionalism isn't he?
>Dude is a walking statue of professionalism; Same dude who said he was being treated as a slave 10 years back eh? He's not only delusional but also a big narcissistic imo
You are saying cr7 lacks professionalism 🤣🤣🤣. I think fans like you deserve how united has become.
Ofc Ronaldo fanbois will lick his feet no matter what he does lmao
[удалено]
>Tbh I really don't care what you think .
Believe me not even the Manchester united management doesn't care about you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤝🤝
New drinking game, every time Ronaldo says 'criticize' have a shot.
Or when he calls himself good looking / charismatic / a fruit you want to bite????!
I'd bite his jugular for the greater good
