Cristiano Ronaldo

If you look at the league table from the same point last season, City were on the same number of points but only one point off top. There's an argument that Haaland hasn't actually tangibly improved them as yet.

Haaland probably hasn't improved City but that's only because they can't be improved by much. They got 93 points and scored 99 goals in the PL last season. They've won the league 4 of the last 5 seasons and came 2nd the other season. He lets them play a different way and they will be hoping he makes the difference in the one-off knockout games in the later rounds of the Champions League.
 
Noticed United only had 8 subs yesterday - was Ronaldo the 9th and then ill?
Notice interview released after last game before World Cup - so bridges maybe being burned?

They've scored 11 goals more than this point last season though, and more goals than the 2 seasons before that too.

He was brought in to score goals and he's got 18 goals in 13 games.

But much like the Ronaldo argument, he himself has performed no question (as Ronaldo did last season).

But as yet, hard to say he's made them 'better'. I don't think he's made them worse mind, and I do think they have a better chance of winning the CL.

Not yet, but the signs are good and suggest they have a better chance the CL (the main trophy they so desperately want).

Whereas last season the early signs of Ronaldo improving Utd weren't there - even with him scoring goals....and since it's been proved a terrible signing (both on and off the pitch)...regardless of the amount of goals he scored.

Yes it is hard to make a case for that being a good idea. At the time though I can see why they did it.

He is literally demolishing his legacy there day by day now though too.
 
got to love Morgan complaining about fake memes and quotes attributed to the interview when he got sacked from the mirror for posting fake staged pictures of soldiers abusing Iraqis and then refusing to apologise after the truth came out that were all staged. Scum of the highest order. Without even touching on the phone hacking stuff at the NOTW.

Portuguese journalist been on the radio, cross with Ronaldo for potentially damaging Portugal’s chances in the World Cup with the surrounding noise acting as a distraction.

Where did the born winner help Man United finish last season?

I'll give you a clue, it was a good few places lower than the season before he joined. 😉

You mean the man Utd team that played Mctominay, Fred, Maguire, Lindelof and Rashford all well out of form or not good enough?
 
Is nobody else utterly bored witless with Ronaldo?

Great player in his time, but he offers nothing anymore than being a finisher, albeit still an excellent one

He makes absoluety no effort at all off the ball, you can't get away with that kind of striker anymore in the premier league,
The strikers have to help out the team, as much as people think it doesn't matter if he scores simply don't understand football
Man utds win ratio without him in the side is magnitudes better, point per game better, even goals per game better

Man utd pick the team that wins them more points, they can't just accomdate a striker who is only interested in his own
personal goal scoring feats and records

All he cares about is being regarded as the best at everything (even though he isn’t) and it’s actually made him worse and it’s effecting the teams he plays for. Messi is the best. Better person too

Just watched that BBC documentary on Messi. Always been the best for me, the creativity, the vision that no one else sees, the goals, the artistry, but I love his whole lack of ego. His mindset. Does his Talking on the pitch and quiet outside of it. Confident but not cocky. Obviously a really humble, nice guy who deserves all the success he's had and is also a great team player.
