Apparently it's £15 million net a season. But the real money for him now is going to be in those social media posts with the United fan base back in the fold. Probably will start charging double for those.

2 year contract
£480,000/week

Less than the golfer. Jersey sales should be something too

really interesting to see how Solskjaer is going to make this work. There's seemingly endless attacking options with Ronaldo, Fernandes, Sancho, Rashford, Greenwood, Cavani and Pogba ... looking forward to see what that squad can do.

City are having A DAY

They leak to some journalists that they didnt actually want cr7, only for the actual tier 1 city journo to say

Then, the man with the billion pound squad, starts whinging and throws the toys out his pram

Don't really care about Ronaldo other than having to watch him primp and play with his shorts over free kicks and prima donna it up a bit more regularly being a slight irritation, but I hope Juve burn to the ground, they Barca and Real living beyond their means for years and trying to screw up football with their super league to bail out their dumb @$$&$.

Love to see them lose good players and fall into middle of the table regularly in Italy.

Pep is so annoying.
I can't believe I'm defending Spurs here, but no team is obligated to negotiate with you if they don't actually want to sell the player.
Stop being a man-baby; you can't just dictate to all teams to give you any player you want.

Especially when the ask is $150 and you come out with $75.

Yeah of course I'm not going to negotiate until you come to the table with a real offer.

Honestly of the bigger teams (United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, City) I’ve always had more of a soft spot for United. I can actually stand them, where I really hate Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and especially City with stupid Pep.

And I’m a sucker for a good story, so it’s actually nice to see Ronaldo go back to United and go back to where it started for him for the most part.

Apparently, Rio & Fergie stepped in and reached out to Cris.

Ronaldo
Greenwood Bruno Sancho
Pogba Mcfred

Cavani is a winner today. He should ask for 1% of all #7 jersey sales in the next 3 weeks, while he takes whatever available squad number. In addition to whatever king's ransom Ronaldo will give him.
It is a bit of a stunner, I figured he's go back at some point for an Ibra type last kick at a top club, that being a couple years down the road still.

The tough schedule early on doesn't help obviously, but you have to wonder how long Arsenal are going to hold on to Arteta. They look completely head- and clueless, City are dominating them without even having to shift into third gear.

Glad I didn't get up early to watch this stinker, but looking at the box score and Man City have 81% possession overall, including 90% in the second half? I can see Xhaka got sent off, but even still that is some kind of piss poor effort to just let them dominate you so completely. I mean yeah Arteta obviously is in over his head, but who is really going to replace him? I suppose you can't do any worse, but I can only see someone like Roberto Martinez coming, and that'll produce nothing but apathy from the fans. It's a tire fire with the second worst owner in the league, attracting a good candidate is gonna be tough. Long, long way back to even being a top four contender, let alone challenging for any trophy but the FA Cup.

And hopefully Amazon does the right thing and categorizes All or Nothing correctly. Comedies, not documentaries please.

At this point suggesting there was an ‘All’ option could be considered a violation of the Trade Descriptions Act.

The way it’s going, this could be a trophy winning team I think. Sure, it’ll be Emmys or Oscars or whatever for the documentary, but it’s still a good reason for celebration in my books!
