Fine. I think it's hard to get your head around a George Best, or Cantona playing for manchester City but the fans who should feel offended are Man Utd. Not you! Man Utd's greatest hero was Matt Busby. He used to play for Manchester City. I remember reading that his best friend in football was Bob Paisley.

If it's not emotions, then what bothers you? Is he any good? I am not religious. Perhaps you are and you think there are good and bad people? His sins ended when he walked out on Man Utd.

Your opinion is just as valid as mine. We all have to come to terms with what may happen! I prepare for twists and turns
Loved George Best

Couldn’t and can’t stick Cantona
 
I dislike him just as much as any Blue but Ronaldo on a 1-2 year deal would be incredible.

He can score penalties and is an aerial threat for when we randomly start spamming crosses. 81 goals and 17 assists in 98 Serie A games. Worse league than the PL for sure but he isn't washed yet. Played well at Euros.

If the fee and wages are sensible then this makes sense as a stop gap option. He's marketable so our portfolio would improve all around the world and it would piss off the rags so much!
In football terms it makes sense. He's clearly not the player he was but if we forget about who he once played for and his distant past and just think about his last season, he still has the attributes we need. I don't think he's going to pick the ball up like Foden and dribble around everyone but I do think he can score 20 goals a season for us. That will be enough.
 
Mike Summerbee's friend in football was George Best. Certainly a good friend. Alex Stepney played for City. Brian Kidd, assistant manager. The past is the past. Many of us have fathers, sons, brothers and mothers who are Man Utd and loved Ronaldo. Were they wrong to do so? he simply played for their team, and hopefully he'll play for ours, and if he does, their memories are destroyed not ours.
 
No brainer for me. We need goals and he is a goal machine. I don’t see him as arrogant just really confident in his ability in fact he’s probably more humble than Messi. When young fans go up to him he always stops for a photo or autograph.
 
Ronaldo is arguably the greatest footballer of all time, and despite his age is probably still in his prime.

If you don’t want him at the club, regardless of his history with United, then you need your head checking.
This is a wum on several levels.
 
I’m not convinced his ego will allow him to take such a pay cut and for that reason I’m pretty certain he won’t come. I’m sure he is enjoying the negotiation and attention though..
 
Nah

We loved the otter.
I don't think I have ever hated any blue. I didn't much like Swales. Nigel Clough wasn't very good. Most of them were useless. Never hated them.

Some footballers are almost larger than life. That is the case with Ronaldo. We've grown up hating who he used to play for, and some by association hated him. Not for me. It's the shirt I don't like. He's about to forsake that shirt and commit sacrilege so if he wears ours he will be City.

let's see if it happens first!

He doesn't have a contract for next season though. I am sure he will not be a pauper at City. he has a chance to win a champions league at city. I think that is what he dreams of. That would be good wouldn't it. Ronaldo lifting the Champions League for City and becoming our legend!

If he does though? Wouldn’t that show his ambition and desire to win things?
 
People slaying his character and what he would bring to the dressing room. If he were likely to be disruptive etc surely Dias or Bernardo would be advising caution based on actually knowing him and sharing a dressing room with him?
