I don't think he'll go with a club [Man U] that doesn't compete for titles on a regular basis.
Agreed there, neither do I. I was just trying to analyze who could even offer him a deal.
There aren't many mega teams there and most can't afford him or don't need to.
Juve - already has Ronaldo, can't afford 2 superstars. Ronaldo is doing great there, they will keep him.
Bayern - not the type of transfer that they do
Inter - who goes to Inter??
Real - no chance
Atletico - no chance, no money
Liverpool - nope, they need to keep front 3 happy. Also not a type of transfer they would do
Chelsea - overspent this summer, would be really hard to pull off
That leaves us with:
Barcelona - staying is an option, but if they don't qualify for the CL they will not be able to pay his salary
PSG - makes sense from all angles
City - makes sense from most, a little less than PSG
United - they have the money and lack a superstar. Also, if anything screams Ed Woodward, it's bringing 35-year old Messi on a huge deal.
So, United has to be considered as a potential option, but they have a chance only if the first 3 clubs from the list all decide they canot go for him.
