Yesman Chester

I hope Man Utd's fame & glory extends as far as New Mexico, USA because there quite a few rabid fans out here in the "old west". Go Reds and Bueno Suerte Ronaldo!

Only God can stop Ronaldo from scoring goals.

If Fred had done that, all big mouths had been opened agaist him. If you dont know or if you were a kid at the time, let me lecture you on this. Ronaldo ran away from Manchester for his own pride, now he realise that he is not on his prime time he came back to Manchester . I dont want to say more...

Paulo

He ran away? Cough cough** let me knock that pea brain of yours. Does your a*rse have teeth?? Stop talkin s*hit w your a*rse! He achieved all he could at MU, so the next best thing is to challenged himself at RM. Fyii, i'hv been a MU fans since the early 90's SO SHUT YOUR TRAP & GO BACK TO.YOUR CAVE IDIOT!! PS: SWIVEL ON IT!! 1🖕🖕🖕

Damn pandejo deserved the slap from the Almighty CR7. He should be thankful & honoured for that slap. You don't ever EVER disrespect the G.O.A.T!! 🐏🐏🐏

Bruh!! The team wanted him to break the record and set new that was their main agenda for the game & nothing else.

Agree, mate. Let's hope that Ronaldo will not be a target-man when he comeback playing for us. Otherwise, he will be crippled and the tactics shattered. Hopefully Sancho, Martial, Rashford, Cavani and Greenwood will contribute equally.

bro it was the same at Juve and Madrid go watch done matches trust me !

 DE GENERAL 🇧🇧 

I watched the game and I'm praying united don't set up the way Portugal has where it's easy to read because everyone wants to pass it to CR7 we love him but I could read the play from my couch!
