Half the comments here talk about Ronaldo not fitting the system or having a big ego which may be true but I distinctly remember that Ronaldo pretty much dragged that team to a Top-4 finish, was their highest goal scorer as well.

The whole rift with Ronaldo started when the team wasn’t winning and the English media, in typical fashion, found someone on the team to blame. For weeks the media went on about Ronaldo not doing enough or any running or defensive work - something that was never part of his playing style for almost a decade since he left United the first time.

If the media didn’t crucify Ronaldo, I reckon ETH would have found other solutions to resolve the issue, instead he bent to the will of the media. I’ve followed some of ETH’s interviews this season after losses and I can tell he buckles under media pressure saying things like “we played well” after a loss.

Ronaldo’s attitude may have been wrong but ETH handled the entre situation incredibly poor.

There will be and have been several more players like Gerard.

There will never be a goal-scoring midfield machine like Lampard. Bellingham might like a word but I highly doubt he keeps it up.

I don’t even think we need to win the Prem first.

Wait till United get knocked out of the group stage this year after losing to Kopa and Gala, and then miss out on UCL next year. While Chelsea make UEL and then qualify for UCL the following year.

Chelsea is a young team on a slow upward trajectory. United are… not sure what they are but it’s nothing good.

I hear that but our defence is fine. We’ve conceded 1 less goal than Spurs having played Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and City.

We just need to score more goals.

What tools?
