All united fans love CR7! GOAT won us our last UCL . Look at the state of the current lot. Shaw mount can't even play 30 games. These new generation fans are idiots.
How can anyone dislike this man? Besides his accolades, he’s strong, he’s positive and he’s forward thinking. He has high standards for himself and the club he loves and he’s saying nothing but facts. Respect Ronaldo, always.
I don’t want my kids to be a spoiled brat at 39 years of age He’s a selfish egomaniac Granted this attitude made him very successful as a player but not as a person
He's the son of the club and he's one of its legends. If he doesn't speak then who will? He still loves United and wishes them the best this is a very beautiful thing ❤
You know I stand with opinion that Cristiano is the best footballer in the world. Yes I know messi is Amazing one of the goat. But if you wanna someone to be a Role model it should be Cristiano. He shows everyone how to be a successful person. No matter what talent do you have but just looking what you good at and doing hardwork on it. Not only hardwork but also smart on analysing and taking desicion. Also to have a good control over yourself. What a man, what a legend. Not only on football but also on life.❤
Whenver i see this Man smiling, i smiles with teary eyes (full of love). This Man is so perfect, humble,, generous, prioritise his family, his respect for his mom. How can even ppl hate him? This Man is living thousands of boys dreams. From a street cleaner to a Greatest Footballer, this journey was not even easy for him at all. Only he can understand his pain, what he went though to fulfill his dreams. Now what he has, all credit goes to him and his mother. Thanks to Geo for supporting him. Those who hates him, those are the most toxic fanbase ever. Those who hates him, has no class, has no works to do. Their work is to criticize this Perfectionist Cristiano who wins in Life. It's been 16 yrs, I'm his Fan and It'll be continue.... There's so such way to hate this Man, i repeat no way. If ya'll hate him, ignore him, leave him alone that's it.
Ronaldo was the last player at Man United to score a free kick and a hat -trick since he left the Club 2 years ago ! He was also the last Premier League player to win a Ballon d’Or! RESPECT! VIVA RONALDO!⚽️👑❤️🇵🇹🙏🏻
@princetreeee no he is not, he didnt mention man unt once in his sentence he meant in general and even if he meant man unt, how can he score for a team he doesn't play?
He will always remain a United legend he will always be loved at United by the fans. Hope to see him back at OT someday again in another capacity. Glad I got to see his last ever goal for United against FC Sheriff W206 Row3 Seat 171
I fell in love with how you played football since I was a kid back in 2006 and you the reason why I also fell in love with man utd and considered real madrid as my second team after man utd when you left. You one of the best players this generation has ever seen, breaking record after record 🙌. I would like to thank you not just for the history you made on the pitch but for the moments & joy you bought within our hearts 🙏. Thank you Cristiano, may God continue to bless you abundantly. Once a Red ❤always a Red ❤
When i look at him and see he is getting old all it leaves me with is start crying and emotional. What wil be football without Ronaldo . Sometimes you wish God keep icons like this young forever
Iam surely not the only one after watching this , flooded with respect , pure inspiration and above all massive admiration there is not a footballer playing or retired that has impacted the game more than Ronaldo , he has not only succeeded but broken ridiculous records along the way in England, Spain, Italy and even at the age he is now in Saudi , so Ronnie i salute you pure legend.
As a United fan, I'll never be angry about the way he left United the second time. He was there as a player and as a fan and he was disappointed with what he saw and rightly so. What we are seeing now, the management changes, the infrastructure improvements, the focus on football rather than business and branding, is all Cristiano. He started it all. In a few years' time, when United are as great again as they were in his time, even the fans who hate him now will thank him for what he has done and the things he has single-handedly set in motion. Go on Cristiano, and get those 1000 goals!
You’re not a United fan. You haven’t mentioned Ten Hag. Ten Hag said countless times Ronaldo was a part of his plans… and begged him to stay, only to bench him and barely play him. Ten Hag and the rest of the United Cronies are the same people who didn’t believe Ronaldo’s child was ill…
I agree with you, a big part to blame was ten hag also and areas with the way he dealt with him. But you are totally right. United are far behind everybody now... to me they are a mid table team (no matter what we want to think).
I’ve seen him play live at old trafford I’ve lost count ! He was absolutely awesome what a player , I was there when he made his debut against Bolton Saturday lunchtime and I was there when he played his last game . I feel sorry for fans/ supporters of my club that have only ever watched him on the television because trust me when you are sat pitch side and watching him on and off the ball and his movement is unreal . He’ll always be a great and legend of the game WHAT A PLAYER
Born in a country that's cricket craze, it was Cristiano Ronaldo who made me fall in love with football and led be to love the greatest Club in the World, Manchester United. No matter what, biggest fan of Cristiano Ronaldo then, now and forever. THE GOAT 🐐 GGMU
Cr7 doesn't even know what's his country is and how does he knows what happend years ago when he made him love football! Are you in half-coma? @@Ball619
He considered ruud as the best striker he played with and thats just amazing to hear because ruud for me is the best finisher i ever saw live! What a legend
It's engaging to see Ronaldo's interviews. English is my first language and he is giving insight only few life long superstar players have experienced.
Love him or hate him as you like, but Cristiano's work ethic and mentality is something truly admiring. If all people have half of his way of thinking, the world would be a better place
Just because Ronaldo isn’t a United supporter, with his legacy in football more than just about his time at United, doesn’t mean he doesn’t love the club. It’s the club where he made his name, grew up and became a superstar. He’ll always have fond memories of his time there. And so the fans should for him. We likely won’t see a player like him grace Old Trafford again. His second stint didn’t end the way anyone would’ve wanted, but it was still amazing to see him back in a United shirt. And to actually see him play live at OT. Something I was never able to do when he was there the first time
He’s goated dude? So totally goated. The way he flies through the air and kicks a goal with his head is Sickk! He also jukes the defense out and kicks points for his franchise!
Ronaldo is one of my heroes. He was right to criticise the mess of our club, he blew the whistle by confirming the Glazers have destroyed the club. His issues with Ten Haag he should have kept private, but Ronaldo was right that Ten Haag disrespected him. He was right to attack Richard Arnold though, because Richard Arnold did not support Ronaldo properly after his baby died, Ronaldo was only off one week in April 2022 (remember) he was not allowed longer time for compassionate leave. Also when his daughter was ill with Bronchitis in May and June 2022, Richard Arnold did not believe him. Ronaldo felt like he was being pushed out. So he decided that summer he wanted to leave. There are always too sides to a story. Our club let him down
Giggs was a prime example of what Cristiano says about adapting. Cristiano went from flying winger to central and up the top, and Giggs went from flying winger backwards to central. Both incredible longevity by looking after yourself and adapting over time.
Except Giggs always loved the club and said leaving was never an option. Ronaldo thought he was too good for us. Which is fine. But then you can’t pretend to love the club. He’s just on Rio’s channel because he knows it’s good publicity. He’s selfish and fake.
@@marc1299he never thought he was too good for us, it was mutual respect. He achieved his dream at Man United (won everything) and wanted to pursue another challenge which was win every trophy possible at Real Madrid.
Clear example of how Xabi Alonso did so well coach with Leverkusen getting them their first title because he was a player himself and now the coach, so he understands game.
@@TheChampIsHere_3rd top scorer, top scorer of ManU, last player to score a Hattrick for ManU, last player to win the ballandor as a Premier league player, only player in pl history to win every single individual award in a pl season
Even as a Liverpool fan, I love to listen to this man, amazing player, but also the ultimate professional in my opinion. Youngsters can learn alot from this dude, I hope the likes of yamal etc have his work ethic and hunger.
His first stint at United was the stuff of legend and his first season back again was very good also. Gutted with how it ended but got to have a lot of love for this legend of Man Utd
Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Mr Cristiano… From green to Red, young to old, silver to gold, champion leagues and premier’s too, half of this generation would not support manchester united if it was not for YOU!
Notice how Ronaldo said about Bellingham going Real Madrid that the environment was clean so he can grow. A lot of players are talented that if they went to clubs like that that would be in Bellingham’s position could do the same imo. Players that go to like United etc just struggle and become wasted potential not because they are bad it’s the type of clubs.
I mean when the kitchen and rooftop is also fucked what do you expect The right step is ineos and having Dan ashworth and barrada so let's see what are the next steps It's gonna take awhile as with most clibs🎉
honestly, Ima actually a Liverpool fan, but I have to admit, CR7 comes across very different in this interview. For me he was a player we loved to hate, but respected as the most potent of enemies, but he came across quite arrogant and up himself. He really should talk to old team mates and friends on camera more, it shows his humble human side, and I cant lie, its quite endearing
His first season back at United, literally him and De Gea Carried us majorly (he was 37 btw) without either of them we wouldve finished 14th at the highest! Hate how it was ended for the both of them! United legends regardless tho, forever 🙌
DeGea carrying us lol he lost ManUtd many trophies in the latter seasons of his ManUtd career. Solskjaer made mistakes picking him for games like FAcup semi-final 2020, EuropaLeague final 2021 etc...
All the true United fans love CR7. Saw him grow from boy to man. At united he gave his all. 2nd time round he came back to poor standards and dressing room full or mercenaries after a pay day. Lingard Shaw and co.. CR7 lost his son and still played against Arsenal and scored that shows you his professionalism. Fans doubt him for an interview which eventually led to Ineos take over. Do Me a favour go support Barcelona!!
I cant imagine a world without Cristiano With his mindset he can play profesional football forever! He will reach 1000 goals plus no dout. Keep up the hard work an thank you Cris. Big up Rio
62 yr old rangers supporter,seen n heard thousands of interviews doon the years,all the top players. But that lad deserves everything hes worked for,you cant fail with a mindset like that,no doubts whatsoever,i,ll do this and i,ll do that and he fkn did billionfold! Well done big rio no bull,straight talk,amazing respect between both men,but big rio,s in awe of the man. Absolutely loved that.❤
I have never ever seen anyone more famous than Cristiano Ronaldo. His personality His passion on football Top scorer in football history The Goat 🐐 will reach 1000 goal sooner or later.
I didn't get the hate he got back then and I don't get it now. Every single thing he said about the state of the club was what fans had been saying but somehow he became the villain? Yes he undermined the manager, but now the same fans are calling for Ten Hag's head. Maybe make up your mind on what you want? Ronaldo was right about how embarrassing the standards have become at the club, doesn't matter if he did it for himself or love for the club. He's still and will always be one of our greatest every players and legend.
The fans were looking for a scapegoat for united shitness.. it was easy to blame Ronaldo cause he was the icon and as far as the fans think.. he can carry all the weight (positive & negative) of the club. Which in case he can't, nobody can. The club is rotten but are relentless at thinking they're not. It's not slander, it's honesty
Ronaldo is the GTOAT (greatest tanner of all time.) What he lacks in other areas such as the footballing ability to keep up with the GOAT, he makes up for with being golden brown from tanning. Also he has abs that we like. He may not be the goat but he is the gtoat.
As a LIVERPOOL I can't understand how underappreciated Gary Neville is. He was really good, hardworking, consistent and played with passion. He kept things simple but was highly effective.
It would be amazing if Cristiano could come back and get his 1000th goal at United. Like Henry signed back at Arsenal those years back and played a few games
Cristiano , He is an amazing human being … it is so great to listen to him , great speaker… passionate … probably i need to hear you two … for my future to build something to have that momentum where you enjoy life … and guess i needed that motivation which i got these feelings now … loved this show , huge thanks Rio … once United fan always united fan GGMU ❤️ love you lads From Georgia 🇬🇪 🙌 next call Kvaradona Rio 😁❤️

It took 2 years for most people to realize that everything Ronaldo said about Man Utd 2 years ago was true. Erik ten Hag is the most heavily backed manager since Sir Alex Ferguson, yet he’s been a monumental failure. He’s had hundreds of millions spent on signings, and what has he delivered? A measly Carabao Cup. The team doesn’t play well, struggles to get results, and it seems like the players can’t stand him. Now he’s on TV in August, already admitting that they won’t compete for major trophies? Essentially saying he has no faith in his players when the season has just begun, while Liverpool and Chelsea are also rebuilding? He’s arrogant, clueless, and needs to go. Even Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, despite his inexperience, did much better with far fewer resources. José Mourinho didn’t get the star signings he wanted, dealt with countless injuries, and still managed to win the Europa League and secure a 2nd place finish with a squad full of average players. Ten Hag, meanwhile, has been 'Ten Lag' for three seasons, and yet he remains in charge. What do they see in him? Is breaking his contract and firing him really that expensive?
If only the delusional fans have the same observations as you. MU is so deprived of trophies now that even a false positive FA Cup win drive them crazy worshipping TH. Even TH proudly claimed he won 2 (mickey mouse) trophies for 2 seasons in a row, thus he deserved to stay. Yet I couldnt see his style of play for past 2 seasons, all his expensive signings are either flops or crock, weird match interviews, performance same old crap in 2024...this guy is either a fraud or just plain lucky with all the resources he got (not to mention the luck he got through Newport and Coventry in the FA Cup despite they played worse). And now they want TH to punish Garnacho for liking Ronaldo's post about MU. Bet he will leave in couple of years or sooner, as the low standards of the club clearly doesnt match his calibre. Good luck to them finding someone else to carry the team and score crucial goals. Battle for top 8th continues.
@• So you say Ten Hag has been at ManUtd for 3 years and won 1 CarabaoCup when he's been here 2 seasons and won 2 trophies and the FAcup was special & important not just because of the teams ManUtd beat but the overall trophy tally and going back to only 1 behind Arsenal overall they shouldn't have overtake us in the first place and no Solskjaer wasn't better because I knew we wouldn't win anything with him and he's heavily responsible for going 5 seasons without a trophy THAT is unacceptable at ManUtd.
3 trophyless seasons is actually completely unacceptable at ManUtd and Solskjaer had 3 disappointing season ends in a row and was still given time which was just allowing other clubs to win things instead of us it was never going to do anything else and it took him having to drop off way more in the PL and lose home games 1-6 & 0-5 for him to finally go. I don't think Ten Hag is that good but no one has been that good since Ferguson so you at least make sure you win trophies if you do you're better than the one's who didn't.
We all knew he was right.. He just did the one thing you can't do and that's puplicly slant the manager to the media.. That's in his contract so as soon as he mentioned ETH by name it was over.. No man united fan is gonna argue ronaldo was right about the glazers and how the club was run.. But dragging the manager under the bus was uncalled for
@@FootkerSnookball agree about Ole. but if FA cup is that special to you, TH should be already sacked for losing to Man City in the previous final, and also giving them the treble lol.
As an arsenal fan.. how ETH and man united in general treated Ronaldo with his last season their was absolutely disgusting.. the man gave so much for united and he should of never got the abuse he got upon leaving.. so happy for him though
I'm glad Ronaldo stressed the importance of learning. A lot of people associate it with school and roll their eyes but it can apply to anything. Coming from someone impressionable to young people like Cristiano, hopefully they would listen to him on that. It's easy when you've got talent to be arrogant and you hear a lot how people with that talent think they know better so don't take advice, which is stupid, and I'd imagine those people would regret later in life. You don't have to completely change who you are but listen and learn from other players and managers: that's how Ronaldo, Messi and other greats get better and have longevity. Be smart enough to learn and your talent will do the rest.
@@Iiamkellyq How is a guy who played in the 2nd, 6th and 15th best leagues the greatest player ever? Since when do great players play in those lower leagues?
@@TonyMontanaDS and Ronaldo has played in played in a league that is ranked 26th best and even though Serie A is ranked high juventus won 9 league’s in a row so what you talking about
@@Iiamkellyq Are you dense? He went to a lower league at 39 years old and he crushed it, breaking the all time scoring record. He wasn't playing in lower leagues at Messi's age and failing. Of course the best players will go to the best clubs. Why don't you complain that Messi played in the best team in the entire history of the sport at Barcelona? Quite hypocritical of you.
I was not born in a football loving family, I remember the first time I saw you playing, i fell in love! I had your shirt on and try to do all your tricks and dribble. I fell in love with football because of you. You have given us the best era of football. You are the GOAT, thank you for showing the world that football is an art. Thank you Rio for this amazing podcast.
I am 58 ..I still play and I still get butterflies ..and I play like a mad man ..and I am on track to score a thousand ..lol no where at the same level ..and a much harder league the old boys league ..but even when I had my leg torn open this season 39 stiches I am training ..lol can't stop ..dreading the day I do
for me Ronaldo will always be the best player we have ever had, and i am still angry how he was unceremoniously pushed out, totally dissrespected, when he had done so much for us, he didn't deserve to be treated like that,
Yeah he deserved to be treated like a prince. He is the tannest person we’ve ever seen, and he has great abs. Therefore he deserves to be waited in hand and foot by all of us. We love him and his abs.
I was at a CL game once at old Trafford and when I saw the lineup and saw that you weren’t playing I was thinking I could of seen one of the greatest players Man Utd have produced live
I'm retiring from watching football if Ronaldo retires unless he becomes a coach, I will still support his team .... 🐐 for a reason... please Cr7 become a manager after retirement..🙏🙏 I want to be your greatest fan now and afterlife ❤
How people say Cristiano was a flop on his 2nd term at Old Trafford? 2nd best scorer on his first season, saving them from some idiotic losses... CR7 should be idolized by them, not the other way around
Maaan, i loved this interview, as portuguese i loved that. The "insults" with a love mean, your relationship are the best. Awesome ! VAMOS CRISTIANO, ÉS O MAIOR!
@@rioferdinandpresents Rio you are a goat too...with your friend Ronaldo by your side it’s goatness everywhere...in my opinion all Man Utd players of that special era are GOATS...who loves football knows that!
Great interview Rio 👊🏾💯 Cris is a humble man with old school mentality and a true legend. I remember his first day at the club with his spaghetti hair 😂 respect 👊🏾 #mufctillidie
Great dedication and work and sacrifice. Pele is my favourite all time because of something mysterious about him. But Cristiano is a great example of what can be achieved with hard work and dedication.
I am a Liverpool fan but in my opinion CR7 is the best for me given that he proved that in 3 different leagues. He’s a Utd legend and I can’t understand why the haters are all over the place because he shared his opinions on the club that he loves. He’s most qualified to speak about Utd than any of those so called pundits who sit in their cozy studio and speak because they’re paid to speak. They are taking everything he said out of context.

why did you not ask him about ishowspeed rio
🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
You are a true friend Rio, about cristiano, words are just not enough to describe his greatness!
His 2nd stint at United wasn't a flop. The 1st season, he carried us through the group stages of Champions league
The second cumming was a big mistake
Wow... Shows how much you know football. By the way, that club is a flop in its entirety. You compete with brighton for 10th position for God sakes.
@chandrashekhermishra5847 o yeah I forgot brighton was in the champions league
It was the fact he came back that mattered, the club was and is in a shambles
@kaspermb9250 yes exactly, it was a flop for the team like every year, but I just enjoyed watching him scoring that year
How can anyone dislike this man? Besides his accolades, he’s strong, he’s positive and he’s forward thinking. He has high standards for himself and the club he loves and he’s saying nothing but facts. Respect Ronaldo, always.
Because he’s selfish especially in the international team? Has a huge ego (warranted or not)
He has basically deserted us twice
He’s a selfish egomaniac
Great player no doubt but doesn’t care about anyone but himself

You’re not a United fan. You haven’t mentioned Ten Hag. Ten Hag said countless times Ronaldo was a part of his plans… and begged him to stay, only to bench him and barely play him. Ten Hag and the rest of the United Cronies are the same people who didn’t believe Ronaldo’s child was ill…
@@dondamon4669you are not Manchester fan if you are on the bald guy side
I agree with you, a big part to blame was ten hag also and areas with the way he dealt with him. But you are totally right. United are far behind everybody now... to me they are a mid table team (no matter what we want to think).

I feel sorry for fans/ supporters of my club that have only ever watched him on the television because trust me when you are sat pitch side and watching him on and off the ball and his movement is unreal . He’ll always be a great and legend of the game WHAT A PLAYER

It's engaging to see Ronaldo's interviews. English is my first language and he is giving insight only few life long superstar players have experienced.
and we will always respect and appreciate a legend like cr7
I appreciate how tan he is
Love him or hate him as you like, but Cristiano's work ethic and mentality is something truly admiring. If all people have half of his way of thinking, the world would be a better place
Just because Ronaldo isn’t a United supporter, with his legacy in football more than just about his time at United, doesn’t mean he doesn’t love the club. It’s the club where he made his name, grew up and became a superstar. He’ll always have fond memories of his time there. And so the fans should for him. We likely won’t see a player like him grace Old Trafford again. His second stint didn’t end the way anyone would’ve wanted, but it was still amazing to see him back in a United shirt. And to actually see him play live at OT. Something I was never able to do when he was there the first time
He loves himself first

He’s goated dude? So totally goated. The way he flies through the air and kicks a goal with his head is Sickk! He also jukes the defense out and kicks points for his franchise!

@@smallarmskepa4390goat of crap comments.
@@D187Sbecause he IS. your biased self cant intake anything from Ronaldo. Messis autism is cringier.
Ronaldo is one of my heroes. He was right to criticise the mess of our club, he blew the whistle by confirming the Glazers have destroyed the club. His issues with Ten Haag he should have kept private, but Ronaldo was right that Ten Haag disrespected him. He was right to attack Richard Arnold though, because Richard Arnold did not support Ronaldo properly after his baby died, Ronaldo was only off one week in April 2022 (remember) he was not allowed longer time for compassionate leave. Also when his daughter was ill with Bronchitis in May and June 2022, Richard Arnold did not believe him. Ronaldo felt like he was being pushed out. So he decided that summer he wanted to leave. There are always too sides to a story. Our club let him down
Giggs was a prime example of what Cristiano says about adapting. Cristiano went from flying winger to central and up the top, and Giggs went from flying winger backwards to central. Both incredible longevity by looking after yourself and adapting over time.
Except Giggs always loved the club and said leaving was never an option. Ronaldo thought he was too good for us. Which is fine. But then you can’t pretend to love the club. He’s just on Rio’s channel because he knows it’s good publicity. He’s selfish and fake.

His first stint at United was the stuff of legend and his first season back again was very good also. Gutted with how it ended but got to have a lot of love for this legend of Man Utd
Should never have been resigned
Big mistake
Same he’s a legend of Old Trafford
piggy I disagree the first season was 6/10
Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Mr Cristiano… From green to Red, young to old, silver to gold, champion leagues and premier’s too, half of this generation would not support manchester united if it was not for YOU!
Notice how Ronaldo said about Bellingham going Real Madrid that the environment was clean so he can grow. A lot of players are talented that if they went to clubs like that that would be in Bellingham’s position could do the same imo. Players that go to like United etc just struggle and become wasted potential not because they are bad it’s the type of clubs.
MU is just a graveyard club/hospital for players now
I mean when the kitchen and rooftop is also fucked what do you expect
The right step is ineos and having Dan ashworth and barrada so let's see what are the next steps
It's gonna take awhile as with most clibs🎉
honestly, Ima actually a Liverpool fan, but I have to admit, CR7 comes across very different in this interview. For me he was a player we loved to hate, but respected as the most potent of enemies, but he came across quite arrogant and up himself. He really should talk to old team mates and friends on camera more, it shows his humble human side, and I cant lie, its quite endearing
We don't live the lives of these professionals and of course they do talk each other on phones and video calling and stuff
Love the legend on and off the field since young 1000 coming soon siuuuuuu 🐐❤💪🏻🔥
Even when he was a rapist
You can tell he still love the club deep down and thinks we deserve better, you’ll forever be our legend Ronaldo ❤️
His first season back at United, literally him and De Gea Carried us majorly (he was 37 btw) without either of them we wouldve finished 14th at the highest! Hate how it was ended for the both of them! United legends regardless tho, forever 🙌

The Goat 🐐 will reach 1000 goal sooner or later.
I didn't get the hate he got back then and I don't get it now. Every single thing he said about the state of the club was what fans had been saying but somehow he became the villain? Yes he undermined the manager, but now the same fans are calling for Ten Hag's head. Maybe make up your mind on what you want? Ronaldo was right about how embarrassing the standards have become at the club, doesn't matter if he did it for himself or love for the club. He's still and will always be one of our greatest every players and legend.
The fans were looking for a scapegoat for united shitness.. it was easy to blame Ronaldo cause he was the icon and as far as the fans think.. he can carry all the weight (positive & negative) of the club. Which in case he can't, nobody can. The club is rotten but are relentless at thinking they're not. It's not slander, it's honesty
Rio is the biggest Ronaldo fan🥲❤️.
This is Pure LOVE❤️
Ronny saying Ruud is the best finisher he's ever seen ... Shows the levels he was at. Ronny is the goat but Ruud is a legend 😎
Ronaldo is the GTOAT (greatest tanner of all time.) What he lacks in other areas such as the footballing ability to keep up with the GOAT, he makes up for with being golden brown from tanning. Also he has abs that we like. He may not be the goat but he is the gtoat.

It would be amazing if Cristiano could come back and get his 1000th goal at United. Like Henry signed back at Arsenal those years back and played a few games

It took 2 years for most people to realize that everything Ronaldo said about Man Utd 2 years ago was true.
Erik ten Hag is the most heavily backed manager since Sir Alex Ferguson, yet he’s been a monumental failure. He’s had hundreds of millions spent on signings, and what has he delivered? A measly Carabao Cup. The team doesn’t play well, struggles to get results, and it seems like the players can’t stand him. Now he’s on TV in August, already admitting that they won’t compete for major trophies? Essentially saying he has no faith in his players when the season has just begun, while Liverpool and Chelsea are also rebuilding?
He’s arrogant, clueless, and needs to go. Even Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, despite his inexperience, did much better with far fewer resources. José Mourinho didn’t get the star signings he wanted, dealt with countless injuries, and still managed to win the Europa League and secure a 2nd place finish with a squad full of average players. Ten Hag, meanwhile, has been 'Ten Lag' for three seasons, and yet he remains in charge. What do they see in him? Is breaking his contract and firing him really that expensive?
If only the delusional fans have the same observations as you. MU is so deprived of trophies now that even a false positive FA Cup win drive them crazy worshipping TH. Even TH proudly claimed he won 2 (mickey mouse) trophies for 2 seasons in a row, thus he deserved to stay. Yet I couldnt see his style of play for past 2 seasons, all his expensive signings are either flops or crock, weird match interviews, performance same old crap in 2024...this guy is either a fraud or just plain lucky with all the resources he got (not to mention the luck he got through Newport and Coventry in the FA Cup despite they played worse). And now they want TH to punish Garnacho for liking Ronaldo's post about MU. Bet he will leave in couple of years or sooner, as the low standards of the club clearly doesnt match his calibre. Good luck to them finding someone else to carry the team and score crucial goals. Battle for top 8th continues.
@•
So you say Ten Hag has been at ManUtd for 3 years and won 1 CarabaoCup when he's been here 2 seasons and won 2 trophies and the FAcup was special & important not just because of the teams ManUtd beat but the overall trophy tally and going back to only 1 behind Arsenal overall they shouldn't have overtake us in the first place and no Solskjaer wasn't better because I knew we wouldn't win anything with him and he's heavily responsible for going 5 seasons without a trophy THAT is unacceptable at ManUtd.
3 trophyless seasons is actually completely unacceptable at ManUtd and Solskjaer had 3 disappointing season ends in a row and was still given time which was just allowing other clubs to win things instead of us it was never going to do anything else and it took him having to drop off way more in the PL and lose home games 1-6 & 0-5 for him to finally go.
I don't think Ten Hag is that good but no one has been that good since Ferguson so you at least make sure you win trophies if you do you're better than the one's who didn't.
We all knew he was right.. He just did the one thing you can't do and that's puplicly slant the manager to the media.. That's in his contract so as soon as he mentioned ETH by name it was over.. No man united fan is gonna argue ronaldo was right about the glazers and how the club was run.. But dragging the manager under the bus was uncalled for
@@FootkerSnookball agree about Ole. but if FA cup is that special to you, TH should be already sacked for losing to Man City in the previous final, and also giving them the treble lol.

The goat of youtube🔥🔥🐐
I'm glad Ronaldo stressed the importance of learning. A lot of people associate it with school and roll their eyes but it can apply to anything. Coming from someone impressionable to young people like Cristiano, hopefully they would listen to him on that. It's easy when you've got talent to be arrogant and you hear a lot how people with that talent think they know better so don't take advice, which is stupid, and I'd imagine those people would regret later in life. You don't have to completely change who you are but listen and learn from other players and managers: that's how Ronaldo, Messi and other greats get better and have longevity. Be smart enough to learn and your talent will do the rest.
The fact he mention lamine yamal shows how great that dude gonna be years to come😊😊

I am a Liverpool fan but in my opinion CR7 is the best for me given that he proved that in 3 different leagues.
He’s a Utd legend and I can’t understand why the haters are all over the place because he shared his opinions on the club that he loves. He’s most qualified to speak about Utd than any of those so called pundits who sit in their cozy studio and speak because they’re paid to speak.
They are taking everything he said out of context.
Rio respects Cristiano the most compared to other former Man Utd players
Some footballing legends have managed to attain 700+ appearances. This guy has 900+ goals. Unreal.
