I was vehemently against the whole idea of us signing the rag **** and now hearing about his wages just makes me doubly glad he has gone to the rags. It shows the complete desperation that they have signed a player they were never planning on signing just to stop us getting him and now have a 36 year old with the highest wages in the league. He may score a few goals for them but he isn't the game changer that will win them the league.

A player we never had any intention of signing in the first place.

Cristiano Ronaldo held Juventus back: just what do Manchester United see in him? | Jonathan Wilson

Returning superstar will certainly score goals, but his chief use at Old Trafford will be as a celebrity content provider

This all appears to be backfiring for them, I've never seen so much criticism of them by their beloved press.

It's hardly hidden info that they had the chance to sign him all summer, and they kept turning him down until City moved in and they became pride stricken.

I think as excited as people may be to see Ronaldo back in England they're well aware that the motivations for splurging on him the way United did make for a very unprofessional club.

There are constant contradictions from that bunch of cretins and the irony seems to be forever lost on them.

They hold up banners saying things like “YOUR PLAYERS MAKE MONEY, OUR PLAYERS MAKE HISTORY”, when our wage bill has always been lower than theirs and we’ve won more trophies than them in the last decade. United pay their goalkeeper as much as we pay our top earner (de Bruyne), yet de Gea still feels the need to steal doughnuts from the supermarket.

They’ve spent years whinging that City and our owner’s investment is ruining football (despite City being completely self-sufficient now). Yet they were saved from going out of business twice through owner investment, without owner investment there would be no Manchester United; they built the most expensive football team ever assembled at the time in the late80s/early90s after going a ¼ of a century without winning the league through owner investment; they have spent more on their squad in both wages and transfer fees than anyone else in English football in the last decade; and they have spent years scriking their eyes out that their owner doesn’t invest in their football club and their stadium and training grounds aren’t as good as City’s up to scratch.

So do they want owners to spend money on football clubs or not? Because their message is very unclear!

They claim to love their football club yet broke into their own stadium and caused thousands of pounds of criminal damage: breaking doors down, smashing windows, breaking lifts, breaking equipment, stealing equipment… from their own club!

They only ever protest about their owner when they aren’t winning anything. They protested about him taking over in 2005, then protested after not winning anything in 2010, and protested after four years of not winning anything this Summer… but the protests were absent when they won three Prems in a row and a CL in the late 00s, there were no protests around their Prem winning years of 2011 and 2013, and their protests have stopped now they’ve spent a load of money and pushed their wage bill up even higher at the start of this season.

How fucking insecure can you get?! All the glory hunters they’ve accumulated over the years who only support the cunts because they were winning stuff, can’t handle it when they aren’t winning things. Imagine if they ever match or beat Manchester’s longest ever trophy drought of 37 years without a trophy (which is theirs, by the way!) - they’d burn Old Trafford down so there was no club left, and all shuffle off to SC United Manchester or Salford City or whatever copycat club they make up next, just to pretend the drought wasn’t happening.

And now they should always remember, deep down, that their Golden Boy wanted City and they had to pull out all the stops from ex-managers, players, and astronomical wages to get him to change his mind… but he wanted City!
