Agreed. Anyone defending him now is getting into fan boy territory. It’s ok to acknowledge that he is one of the greatest of all time but also simply not good enough any more.

Imagine looking at a squad that have Maguire, Shaw, Mctominay, Fred, the author and Bruno in it and coming to the conclusion that the problem is a 5x Balon Dor winner.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sure why not put Sir Bobby into midfield and Dennis Law up front if we’re going to pick players on last achievements.

i think the question that should concern people is who are we going to sign, because at the minute there isnt a CF out there that makes me think, yep, we can get him and he will help us challenge.

Ronaldo won a trophy in his last non United season while the club are on a 5 year trophy drought.

In the same season which was just over a year ago he scored over 30 goals the last player to do that at United and win a trophy in the same season was Ronaldo himself.

Quite clear where the problem is.

Juve also couldn't get rid of him quick enough.

2 years can be a long time for players in their 30's, Serie A is also far inferior to the PL.

Yes, let's bring up something he did 15 years ago...

It's better than glorifying players like Bruno and McTominay who's won nothing at United and calls managers tactics that lose 6-1 perfect, or Rashford who's only been succesful when a squad player.

When the front line has competent proven players then we can discuss Ronaldo's suitability but for aslong as the author and the penalty merchant are getting serious minutes then no Ronaldo on one leg is still a better option.

*calls managers tactics that lose 6-1 perfect in Brunos case.

This Manchester United team isn't good enough to 'carry' Ronaldo to enable him to keep scoring like we know he can.
_____________________________
But "carrying" the likes of Bruno, Shaw, McTominay and Rashford is absolutely fine apparently.

The most hilarious thing is people using workrate/pressing as an excuse to drop Ronaldo like the alternatives are pressing machines who leave everything out on the pitch
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I made two points but you only selected one. I also stated this United side isn't good enough to get the most out of this current version of Ronaldo either.

Let’s get Ighalo back.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Joking aside, Ighalo from that January to lockdown (not long I know) was playing the CF role far better than Rashford and Ronaldo have this season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This fanbase really do have the club they deserve.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You mean the “team” they deserve? Because this “club” is bigger than Ronaldo and all his blind worshippers.

It's also bigger than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer yet it didn't stop 95% of the fanbase reducing their standards to accommodate him.

Why do all the rabid idiots on this board still fawn over Ronaldo, despite clear evidence that's he's past it?

What's the connection, do they just want to think they support a club with at least one world class player? I struggle with the psychology of it.

Agreed. Anyone defending him now is getting into fan boy territory. It’s ok to acknowledge that he is one of the greatest of all time but also simply not good enough any more.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course, because anyone that disagrees with you must be called names. This is the sort of extreme left thinking that got the likes of Trump voted in power.

On an earlier comment, you said Ronaldo is not scoring Haaland numbers..... who is may I ask??

Gone from being our top scorer last year to 'past it' in a couple of months. Of course by past it if you mean the fella cannot score 60 goals anymore, then yeah you are right.

Nobody is defending or making excuses Fred when he puts in countless awful displays.

You are one of the most abusive posters on here. I am for ever pulling you up for it when you keep insulting me.

Please explain how this is extreme left thinking?

Also, extreme left thinking did not put a Trump in power, a very poor Democrat candidate that a lot of people despised put Trump in power.

You are a broken record. I have no time to go back and forth with you. You quite clearly love this

To be fair, there large faction of this forum that has been relentlessly campaigning to drop Eriksen to the bench in order to accommodate Fred would have just as big blind spot as those who think we should build the team around Ronaldo, if it actually existed.
