I get the money involved is ridiculous but it's Man united, give them something back even if it's for the rest of the season (obviously before the interview).

I think his leaving is the best thing for Manchester United, always a pointless vanity signing second time round. |  |

Utterly pointless move.
A mega rich man going to probably head towards a billionaire with a Saudi deal. What is the point? I will never understand it. |  |

If he gifted his wages or did some good whilst in Saudi then I could understand it, maybe. |  |

I'd hazard that certain allegations against him in the US, including an ongoing (as far as I'm aware) civil case, might have served to remove one particularly lucrative option from his list... |  |

If he could have knuckled down and played a role like Giggs did been a leader for the squad for the rest of the season then if he wanted to go off to Saudi league i would probably think fair enough just.
But leaving one of the biggest clubs in the world to play in the Saudi league, i don't get it apart from money, his ego will obviously mean a lot to him with the sums involved but as a league and i don't profess to know a lot about it but it's not going to be a high level is it... | | | |

bang on. Its a shame that his ego has led him down this path. I utterly respect his desire to play on, but what a wasted chance for him: if he'd knuckled down at United and accepted a lesser role, he could have stayed there till 40 as the older statesman. Instead he gos to sh1t desert. |  |

I wrongly assumed he was motivated by records and wanted a Champions League club to try and set a mark that'll be hard for Mbappe and Haaland to beat. | | | |

He and to a lesser extent Bale, just come across as whiny annoying rich brats. That said, while we’d like to see then rock up in the lower leagues and just play because they love the game, they would no doubt argue they have earned the right to do whatever they want. |  |

Did I read that he scored more goals than Harry Kane last season? |  |

Good move for the man really! Like entering an inverted retirement home in which you depart with all their money.
He doesn't do bit-part, he is no longer a credible option for any European side with lofty aspirations and he doesn't appear to care about the optics. Hopefully this will be his race run with UK media and we won't be blessed with regular updates on his exploits over there. | | | |

Definitely. You can turn a blind eye to an ego like that in the dressing room when they're that good that they're carrying the team, at least for a while. People become a little less forgiving when that ratio switches and their contribution on the pitch isn't outweighing the level of ar5ehole they're being off it. |  |

Yep, could even have had a half season back at Sporting Lisbon and then retired aged 38. No need for the Saudi move at all, it's not as if he's short of a few bob. |  |

I was thinking when I read about this:--
At what level of money, does earning more money just become a bit meh?
Surely Ronaldo has enough money/assets to last lifetimes... Seems odd he would take this move rather than say go back to Lisbon. | | | |

Sure it is more about his ego than the money. Another chance to be centre of attention and front what I imagine will be a Saudi assault to attract more high profile players over there. Drifting away and not being spoken about is his worst nightmare. | | | |

He's only going there because no one else wants to sign him.
His recent past;
Got the @rse at Madrid, agitated, played up and got his move to Juve. Was then surprised Madrid didn't want him back.
Got the @rse at Juve, decided he was too big and important for how they were performing, agitated and aged up, Got his move.
Got the @rse at utd, agitated played up, got his free.
Then shocked to find no champions league club that wanted him, at least none he was going to be willing to play for.
So his choice, head to America for boat loads of money or head to Saudi for bigger boat loads for money.
In Saudi he will at least be able to peacock about. In the US no one would care that much becaues he plays the wrong football.
So Saudi it is.
If not Englans I really want Argentina to win the world Cup.
Ronaldo is one of the great players, skillful, athletic, top draw.
But he has to be the least likeable player of all time, this from a profession that gave us Joey Barton and El Hadj Diof |  |

I think Sporting said they had no interest.
Almost like he has a reputation or something | |

United signed him simply so City didn't. I'm absolutely convinced of that. |  |

Agreed.
I will never understand players worth millions who could get contracts earning £50k-£100k per year at a decent club in a decent league sacrifice their quality of life to move somewhere like Saudi Arabia or China and not leave their house except for games and training while they are out there.
All for numbers on a screen. | |

Did he ever replace that little kid's phone he smashed?
To add insult to injury they offered the kid tickets to a Man U game by way of "compensation". |  |

I wonder if this deal was on the table prior to Ronaldo’s United outburst which helped to push the move through even quicker? [Post edited 30 Nov 2022 16:52]

He could have gone in the summer, though to a different Saudi Club, Utd were happy to accept the bid but he didn't want to go as he is Ronaldo, footballing God and such things are beneath him.
Agent was instructed to find a champions league club bur couldn't.
Word is he thought a club would come in for him if there wasn't also a transfer fee involved but apparently that was misjudged.
Shame, such a fine player. Maradona by contrast, a coked up nutcase who committed the ultimate sin against England with his hand of god was always infinitely more likeable and a better player. [Post edited 30 Nov 2022 16:54]

Maybe he likes the sun 🤷â€â™‚ï¸
Not my thing, but loads of rich twonks seem to want to be seen hanging out in the Middle East. Probably just a status thing. |  |
