I think Ronaldo was right in this decision. Manchester United has yet to really experience the consequences of this. The situations that caused Ronaldo to leave the team will come to light and will be talked about more. As you said, Ronaldo's decision was accepted by many as the right one. Since it was the World Cup, this topic was not talked about much. But the repercussions of this will continue for a long time. Ronaldo will be far from all this when he signs a new team. Ronaldo is making a fresh start and I think his transfer will not take long and he will find himself a team in a short time. MANU could not manage this process well.

I don't agree with you, there is a better and elegant way if he really wants to leave Old Trafford without having to corner the club that is actually still paying his salary. since the beginning Manchester United failed to qualify for the Champions League, he wanted to leave Old Trafford. but the fact is, no one team really wants to sign him. you are wrong, Ronaldo is really dropping himself after his controversial interview. and what Ronaldo said in the interview was not entirely true, he even criticized Man United's young players. even he himself, his performance had completely dropped.

So far, there are several clubs that are still linked with Ronaldo and the most widely is Chelsea. however, we won't know until it happens. in this world cup, Ronaldo has to prove that he still deserves to be the best. we'll see, if he will really contribute to the Portugal squad. if the performance doesn't improve, I doubt it after this world cup is over. no big club interested in him including Chelsea. And if Manchester United do terminate Ronaldo's contract, I think it is the right decision.

At this point that Manchester United have lost one of their player Ronaldo, it is obvious that the club will be in for a long period of poor performance as the chances of Manchester United getting a replacement for Ronaldo is highly minimal since Manchester United's current standing is not attractive to any good player to want to risk their football career for man united.

But that is certainly not the case for Manchester United. Manchester United needs to bring in some players in some specific areas, as @emrecemsan said. For example, the defense of Manchester United is not very reliable right now. And I also do not think that they have an attacking lineup that can coordinate with other teammates.
There are many things that must be addressed by Manchester United in the upcoming transfer market. They need some good players to strengthen the defense, midfield and also the strikers. They need to invest a lot of money to get this team back into the top 4, but it won't be as easy as many think. Ronaldo and Manchester United have ended, so it's time for them to find a suitable replacement to fill the void so that Manchester United's strength in the second half of this season is much better.

Ten Hag may get some players from Holland, but I never know who he will bring to Old Trafford. Some good players in the World Cup might get their attention, so I'm waiting to see who they are.

I think this World Cup break will be helpful for Liverpool and Tottenham teams indeed. But somehow I can't think the same for Manchester United. Because they still seem like they are on the same road as the one in the previous season. They are still struggling with the same issues. The issues with Ronaldo got bigger and they have parted ways with him as well. I don't know if they can come back stronger in the other half of the season. Maybe they will need some changes.
For example signing some new players for strengthening specific areas might be a nice help. They have dealt with finishing issues recently too as they have wasted so many goal chances. They will need Rashford and Martial both to improve their games.
If we follow the news, I think Ronaldo problem with Man United has ended with the result of the contract has been terminated and Ronaldo having a free transfer status. But there is another problem facing Man United, namely the main squad is currently focused on the World Cup plus the problem of the owner of Man United who will sell the club. The aftermath of the Ronaldo case began to open up many loopholes and Ronaldo's decision is now considered the right one.

The way Liverpool and Tottenham are playing this season, a break is happening for the World Cup. It’s certainly going to help them. During this time, they will be able to regroup and make new strategies about how they are going to play in the next few matches.

But that is certainly not the case for Manchester United. Manchester United needs to bring in some players in some specific areas, as @emrecemsan said. For example, the defense of Manchester United is not very reliable right now. And I also do not think that they have an attacking lineup that can coordinate with other teammates.

I think Manchester United's transfer priority in the summer should be a striker. Because they have had serious finishing problems this season so far. Rashford started the season really good actually but it didn't take him a long time to start performing poorly about scoring. Martial also can't help in such cases as he is also wasting many opportunities.
United has been targetting some striker and one of them would be from napoli which has become the hottest topic about osimhen being offered by some clubs include MU. That's why MU has been getting solution to buy a new striker again during the next transfer season. This may become a very hard choice for Mu caused by it must also compete with real madrid and im not sure osimhen will be picking MU over madrid. We know that if madrid was always offering better career than MU.

It would be really difficult for Manchester United to convince Osimhen to sign for them. Because they just have nothing in their hands so that they can convince him to come. They aren't in the Champions League now and their Premier League performance is also not good. While Napoli are insanely good in the Serie A and Champions League both there is no reason for Osimhen to leave them to sign for Manchester United.

But he can do it for Real Madrid anyway indeed because there is a huge difference between them and Manchester United now.

I agree that the World Cup break is for all teams, but I agree that this break will slightly affect the momentum that some teams are playing very well like Arsenal. Yes, we can't deny that because maybe this will be a loss for them because they lost the momentum they got before this break. Indeed, this World Cup is something unusual because it is held in the middle of a league season, but this has happened, so let's enjoy it.

You are right. Teams like arsenal will survive in two ways

1. When their players are over used in word Cup it will cause fatigue and these will affect them. Players like saka will likely be in this situation.

2. Lack of playing time will also cause some players to lose momentum, most especially players that are not participating in world Cup and some that don't have playing time their like  saliba

Cristiano Ronaldo is really being disrespected by Manchester United. Thus, if Cristiano Ronaldo does not have the opportunity to play as they are then Cristiano Ronaldo's future will not be good. For this, Ronaldo needs to join another good club that wants him.
Todd wants him but potter didn't want him to go to the chelsea and that can be said if chelsea was also rejecting him as well. Some clubs were confirming about they didn't need him. There are even so many speculations about him.
It seems like that the transfer agent of ronaldo was also feeling so difficult to find a new club with him. It's better if he would be decreasing his salary to make sure a new team can afford to pay his salary once he was moving to the new club.
That will be far better. Im sure ronaldo can get a new club as soon as possible if he will not try to put high salary for his service.


I think he will have good amount of offers to play for without reducing salary. The thing is what his priorities are right now. Likely is that he will need to take a steep cut in his salary to get some interest from European clubs but I think he can still get good salary offers if he plays for club outside Europe. I think his priorities are to play in any of the top European leagues so likely is that he will have to adjust a little. I think in 1-2 months we will see from which club he will play next.

It sounds interesting to dream Ronaldo playing for Newcastle now. I don't think that Ronaldo's first choice would be Newcastle as they aren't in the Champions League currently. Yes, they are one of the most perfoming teams in the league now. But this must be not enough for Ronaldo's expectations. He underlined many times that he wants to play for a team that is competing in the Champions League now.

Chelsea seem like one of the strongest candidates for now and they would really make use of a striker these days.
Someone should mark my words, Ronaldo cannot go to Newcastle United that is not the reason why he left Manchester United. The major problem of Ronaldo is that he is still active in football while Messi is close to destroying his Champions League goal record, that is the only problem why Ronaldo is playing all these games. he wants to go back to Champions League and make sure nobody overtakes him while he is still in the active in football .

And so Newcastle cannot give him the opportunity to go and top-up his goals in the Champions League

Separation is the best way for both, C Ronaldo and Man United. It's a shame it has to be this way. For Man United, the player's salary burden can be reduced quite a lot, so there is financial space to buy several players, maybe 2 to 3 players that suit ETH tactics.
now it's ETH's turn to prove that the game system even without CR7 can make MU to the champion path (domestic/European), don't let it be the other way around...

Its really sad to see such an ending for Ronaldo with Manchester united, i wonder if he will stay in the EPL and even if he did i think he will transfer to a club like Chelsea or arsenal, it's sounds very hard to see Ronaldo playing in Newcastle united but nothing is impossible, let's enjoy the world cup and then we see what will happen

Club owners sometimes like certain player and they want to bring them to their club by all means. And sometimes this leads to conflict between the coach and the owner. Roman Abramovich had the character of bringing in his choice players regardless of the coach's resistance. Chelsea is already going through a lot of challenges and bringing in Ronaldo might compound their problems. Ronaldo is very controversial and rebellious and would not respect Graham Potter. Chelsea already have strikers that is Ronaldo's current class ( Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang) and I think they need a younger finisher.

Yes, Ronaldo still have both on the pitch and off the pitch value but his recent character issues might be a great distraction to some prospective clubs.

Physically Ronaldo can still be relied upon to play at a high level. But to perfect his career, CR7 should play in America. The Super Star had to lower his desire to play in Europe, except for Sporting Lisbon. Apart from that, according to the news circulating, Ronaldo really wants to return to Real Madrid, indeed he is very suitable to replace Benzema's role for a while. But what if Madrid fail to win a trophy this season? Of course Ronaldo will be blasphemed again and will be the one to be blamed the most. Likewise, if he wants to wear a Chelsea or Arsenal uniform, it will certainly add to the complications he will face.

When we think about it like that, America seems like a pretty good option. The league level is not high and Ronaldo is in good enough condition to make a team champion on his own. But considering the teams he could play in Europe, it's hard to know which would be the better choice.
If the team he will play for will not win the championship, the situation will be a little different and we can even say that he had retired Smiley

At first I wasn't really sure about Potter,because the stats he wasn't enough to excite me. He seems to have never brought a trophy. But after he came Chelsea were indeed a bit of a nuisance, although if I look at them they haven't been able to stabilize. Even if you look at the last 5 games he has never won. Firing him is not a good decision, perhaps giving him the flexibility to choose that player would be a little fair, so potter needs time.
Based on achievement with Brighton Albion and success lead to top standing make Chelsea interested with Graham Potter replacing Thomas Tuchel position, but not running well with Chelsea have inconsistency performance and Potter first manager with three loss in a row. Chelsea have completed team and I don't think there are have problem with inconsistency performance.

Chelsea still have chance with international break out and Potter can preparing their team one month later back to the top performance, Potter can keep track of his target players in the January transfer window if want bring change with Chelsea on several matches left at Primer League, I think still have opportunity for Chelsea returning back to the top fourth standing with 8 points left from Spurs.

I don’t understand why will he retire now when he can actually play for 2 or 3 years in a top league, or move to USA and play there. Furthermore whatever happened was bad but in a way I’m happy, because he was getting wasted on the bench and he was getting a huge wage per week which can now be used for buying a new striker which Manchester United badly need.

I don't think Ronaldo will retire yet, he is still very ambitious and really wants to play football. He can play in a big team in Europe and achieve something more for his career and win new trophies.
He can also play in Asia or America and win big money. But I don't think he will leave Europe to make money. He can play 2-3 more seasons and win the last few trophies Smiley

It should have been done at the beginning of the season, but l'm glad that all these ended. Ronaldo said he doesn't respect Erik teh Hug because he "doesn't show respect to him". It is obvious that in such an atmosphere it was impossible to count on good results from Ronaldo. It won't have any effect on MU as Ronaldo did not have a permanent place in the starting lineup , but for Ronaldo it should be a new page in his career.

Chelsea hope of getting Potter is to boost the club's performance better than the Tuchel period, the results after Potter having played several matches with Chelsea have not been able to satisfy the club. Chelsea performance is still up and down, being in eighth place is not the dream of Chelsea officials.
Chelsea target was clear when appointing Potter as head coach, if Potter failed to bring Chelsea to finish in the big four, Potter's future with Chelsea would not last long.
At first I wasn't really sure about Potter,because the stats he wasn't enough to excite me. He seems to have never brought a trophy.

I think this world cup break is going some teams in the premier League, teams like Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool. And it might be a disadvantage for team like arsenal who where doing better before the league was put on hold, because the team might lose momentum to continue, then Chelsea case, Graham Potter will have enough time to analyse what he needs to do to start seeing good results before the new board will sack him, Tottenham Hotspur will have a lot of players back from injuries, because Conte side have been unlucky with injuries.
The premier league will begin next year after just one month of the world cup. During the world cup break, all clubs should look for better players who will fit in with their varied teams. The more successful Arsenal team would continue to add players during the January transfer period. I believe that this World Cup break is for all clubs, not only Chelsea, Tottenham, and Liverpool, to improve.
I agree that the World Cup break is for all teams, but I agree that this break will slightly affect the momentum that some teams are playing very well like Arsenal. Yes, we can't deny that because maybe this will be a loss for them because they lost the momentum they got before this break. Indeed, this World Cup is something unusual because it is held in the middle of a league season, but this has happened, so let's enjoy it.
When football connoisseurs, especially Arsenal fans, are enjoying the beautiful game shown by their favorite team, they have to switch their focus to the world cup. Arsenal are in their best moment before the international break, I think it will be difficult for Arsenal to find their best form when they return to action. They need a few games to get back to their best form, five points away from Manchester City makes Arsenal a little safe, even though they lose one game will not make their position threatened.
