everyone keep on saying after cantona,beckham, rvn,keano leave us and we still manage to rebound and regain back the BPL and even now as ronaldo is almost sure to leave , we still assume we could do the same as before
wake up guys ,i say this era is different as before we have arsenal only to contend with and now ,liverpool is on our tale and infact looks stronger than us provided rafa could maintain his last season squad.since the era of cantona up to when keano retire , chelsea have emerge as a superpower to challenge us on all front and dont write off arsenal yet for next season and beyond.
remember how strong liverpool finish off the season and i bet if only there are a few more matches , they may even pip us to the league title.
the UCL final with barca expose all our weakness espeacially in midfield where we are completely overrun and overturn . even at the 2008 UCL with chelsea , we are outmuscled . last season i dare say we are save by CR7
ronaldo eventhough not at his very best remain our main goal getter last season and score several crucial goals to get us to where we are and many here continue to bash and some even slaughter him.
go check yourself about your own loyalty before questioning his. CR7 dont belong to nobody and manchester united certainly dont own him and he doesn't have to stay all his life at UTD if he chose not to.
let me remind you guys that in the history of players at manchester united , ronaldo bring the most profit to the club at 67.5 MBP and this record may need another century to break , besides contributing immensely to 3 consecutive BPL , 1 UCL title and 1 runner-up plus all other minor trophies that all you guys only knew too well. he brought glory to man utd as the only player to have won the fifa player of the year 2008.
how dare you guys bash him and yet claim you understand football and the business related to it. go fantasize yourself as a loyal supporter of manchester united.
My goodness, since when you've been supporting United? Since post-Ronaldo era? No one said he is not an explosive player that has done so much for us. No one said he belongs to United. Fans are dissapointed when he himself declared that he will stay with us just before the Barca match.
After UCL final, only God knows? Yes, we have always known his desire to play for Madrid. It is no secret. But bear in mind, United is not about Ronaldo. Mind to tell me where did you get your source on that £67.5M? I thought Beckham was our best shirt selling player. Not to mention, Beckham is more of looks than Ronaldo ever is.
He has contributed. No doubt, he has. But you have to count in the services of other players. And most importantly on how SAF turned and nurtured him from nobody to somebody. We will face some difficulties next season, no doubt. Which in my opinion, good. We can weed out those glory hunters.
I believe in SAF. He will do something about it. After all, he was the one who brought lots of titles to United. As many fans/supporters would have said, it is going to be even difficult when old man calls his day.
