Yeah. Assuming that his entire goal is to win the Champions' League one more time, who is he going to go to?

Even if we assume that he'd waive a massive chunk of his wages, lets just assume that (because its probably not true) who wants him?

He's a massive distraction, he has limitations even though he is fit as all hell, he'll pot goals but he places his own ambitions above all else.

The only club in Europe I can even fathom would take that chance is PSG. They can afford him, they have a good team, they're among CL 'favourites' because they have an easy league and good players but how and where does he fit? And for a team that already have a strange culture what does the addition of Ronaldo do to them? He does bring that experience that might help them get over that final hurdle.

I hate to say it but Ronaldo is screwed. He is stuck with United and United are stuck with him. He should STFU, play his game and collect his cheques.

Maybe, just maybe they will unsuckify just enough to get back into the CL next season and give him another year?

He hitched his wagon to the wrong horse at the wrong moment to suit his ambitions.

On the plus side? £500k/week.
