Isn't he the godfather of pressing football? Who thought it was a good idea to put him in charge of a team containing Ronaldo, Fernandes and Pogba? First thing I'd do in the Summer would be peddle those 3. Rashford, Greenwood, Sancho, Mctominay, Wan Bissaka, Dean Henderson etc are the players they should be building the team around 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd wouldn’t have signed a past it Ronaldo if they weren’t an also ran It’s a continuation of this arrogance they’ve rolled over from the Ferguson era, where it’s like this assumption the club is some amazing entity and it definitely wasn’t just down to Ferguson and other staff/the set up. All this “it’s the yanaited way” shite. Ronaldo was a panic buy due to Manchester City’s interest in him, it was that we can’t let a club we see as below us get our club legend arrogance at play, so they bought him to try and prove they’re still the big boys (and thus shift more shirts as you mention). Since Ferguson has left there’s been absolutely no logic to most their signings other than to grab names, or what they saw as the upcoming stars. No attempt to buy to fit a system they intended on playing. Contrast that with Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea who all identify players that fit their system - City buying Rodri a player who, while was a very good player at Villarreal and Athletico, wasn’t a superstar name but was the perfect fit for Guardiolas system, compared to Manchester United buying Pogba - a superstar name who had been playing a completely different system and role at Juve one they never tried to replicate. I think Ronaldo himself likely knows he made a bad decision electing to go to Manchester United over Man City, imo he’d have been brilliant for Pep with the way they dominate possession and suffocate opposition as he’d have just stood in the box finishing all the moves made by Silva/Grealish/Foden/De Bruyne/Mahrez etc etc. Instead he’s at Manchester United where they have no fucking system, have chop and changed the system over and over with recent managers who have brought in random players who were/are names or had a break out season, they need more from their forward imo they can’t afford to have a player remain so far forward as they don’t dominate like Man City do - I think it’s why they look better when Cavani plays as he brings a lot of energy to the position. The positive here is while it’s clearly not working, they also won’t drop him so we get to watch this brilliant melt down every week where Ronaldo thrashes out at opposition players (see him kicking Curtis Jones on the ground then pretending he was going for the ball, or wildly lashing out at Ryan Fraser before again pretending he was only going for the ball as two examples), or simply whinges at all the players around him. I find what’s going on with Barca and their whole “we are back with the big boys in the transfer market” to be a similar type of keeping up with the joneses type nonsense. Long may it continue tbh. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post. I would have loved the see the Man Utd fans faces if Ronaldo had gone there. Hes nothing but a selfish greasy faced cunt with seeing how much money he has in the bank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
