Thoughts? Not a Man Utd fan or a Ronaldo fan but I can't disagree with Roy, it is disrespectful for a player who is arguably one of the greatest ever, to be left to rot on the bench like that, why not let him go and finish his career actually getting a game? He's still a really good player. It's a shame to see his career end this way

if i was being cynical, i would say it was engineered by ten Hag. Piss your star player off until he snaps and then plead innocence

Why would he purposely do that? What's the strategy there?

[bitontheslide]

quite simply, i don't think he likes Ronaldo

So why not just let him go finish his career with a different team? Even if you don't like that guy why go out of your way to tarnish such a legacy as his? He's a **** if that's why he's done it, to be blunt

[GiRTh]

Agree with Keane.

When you get to coach Tom Brady, you don't bench Tom Brady. When you get to coach Michael Jordan, you don’t bench Michael Jordan. So, for Ten Hag to just bench one of the best ever due to - He doesnt fit into our system' is massively disrespectful. Will Ten Hag ever coach another player of Ronaldo’s status and ability, I doubt it.

Ronaldo needs to leave and we can all predict that where ever he goes, he’s gonna light the place up. Man U fans who simply say – He doesn’t fit into the system – need to think about that when you’re struggling to make the Champions league.

I don’t see what Ten Hag has done to make them better. Now he’s finally playing Casemiro in the middle they look a bit better but this is not a good Man Utd team

Do you think it might be a bit of a power trip for him? Like "I'll show him who's boss and take him down a peg or two" kind of a thing?

TBF - 40yr old Washington Wizards Jordan got benched. Ronaldo is wizards Jordan these days, not bulls Jordan.

He was averaging 25 until he got an injury that more or less ended his career. Ronaldo aint getting injured

Michael Jordan got benched?

Tbh if Man Utd doesn't want Ronaldo then we'll have him, and if for some reason he can't cut it against Hogan, Deeney & Jutkuewicz, we'll then send him on loan to Tamworth.

Possibly. Football doesn’t follow the rules of other sports and fledgling managers like him do tend to flex a bit too much. Look at Stevie G. What was all the nonsense about taking the captaincy away from Tyrone Mings. That never made sense to me.

Well Stevie is out on his ear now so that didn't work out too well for him!

i think it's the fact that ten hag blocked Ronaldo moving in the summer and then benched him. If someone doesnt fit the system, let them move and get some money back. I think there is a lot more to this than the public is aware of. Ronaldo was going to spill beans at the end of the transfer window and then said nothing, so thats still to come (probably serialised in a tell all book )

[bitontheslide]

who ever is at fault, Ronaldo needs to be gone from man u as soon as possible

[Swan]

Utd last season based all their play around Ronaldo. They have a new manager, new players, and are in a rebuilding season. Rondaldo can't be the main man moving forward. Maybe he should play more. But this is nothing new, world class players reaching the end of their careers are often relegated to the bench. It's natural club progression.

Ronaldo needs to go to Inter Miami, to play at Beckham's team

Maybe he shouldn't have returned to Man Utd.
I do admire Ronaldo.
It's sad he feels this way or has been made to feel this way.

[bitontheslide]

Respect works both ways i'm afraid, and there has been little evidence of him respecting the manager or the club in the last few months

[Zizu]

I normally have zero time for this guy but I do feel for him since he’s recently gone through the tragedy of losing a child .

They were discussing him on TalkSport this morning and apparently the only offer he got was from a team in Saudi Arabia which he declined … so unless he offers to play for free he’s beggared really .

He wants Champions League football to add to his CL goal tally … in his never ending battle with Messi .

he has played his last game for Man U that is for sure

[bitontheslide]

As I recall, he got lots of sympathy from united when he lost his baby, it was very public, they gave him lots of time off too. He refused to play for the team during the summer tour , he destroyed the phone of a young fan last season, he showed complete disrespect on numerous occasions that i have seen this season. He signed a contract with united knowing what position they were in. He is the highest paid player in the premier league. I'm struggling to see what he is so unhappy about other than his ego may have taken a bashing with substitutions and not being picked for the team

he only gets £600,000 per week?

i would think united now have grounds to terminate his contract so i would imagine its gone to zero about now, and then he will be available to play for whoever he wants.

If i was a betting man, i would say that was his exact intention when he did the interview
