    1. If you’re a City or Liverpool or Chelsea fan – yes ! Still time will tell

  3. The funniest thing I’ve heard all summer. And £500,000 a week for a player that used to be magnificent. It’s obscene. City said no thanks- they have more sense.

    1. City didn’t say no (Qatar has more money than sense). They would have paid, but when Utd expressed an interest there was no other outcome. Utd put him on the map and he has done the decent and honourable thing (even though for an outrageous salary) to attempt to repay them. I hope it doesn’t end in tears.
      Personally, I think if any footballer is worth the money he gets (they all get paid totally ridiculous money, I didn’t say earn) , its CR7, purely for the sacrifices and commitment he has made over the years.

      1. I have no interest in football but don’t begrudge him his rewards. But sacrifices and commitment ? There’s English and American squaddies in Kabul making sacrifices and commitment.

  6. My wife, Pauline, a long time Man U fan, has a big smile on her face! Time will tell if the investment pays off for the club. I’m more interested in England beating India in the cricket. 😃

  7. Welcome back my beautiful 😍 Cris. Bem vindo de volta ou nosso cris. O nosso querido madeirense. ❤️❤️🙏🙏🇬🇧🇵🇹. A good son always comes back home. Um bom filho sempre volta a sua casa. @cristiano Manchester United Tão orgulhosa deste menino. Nada mais bom velo voltar a manU onde tudo começou para seu sucesso. Deus o abençoe. Nothing better to hear. Cris coming back to manU where everything happened for him, where all of he’s success started. God bless him. Welcome back Cris. Even if I am not in Manchester am in London. But this time around I shall go to one of he’s games. Due to family issues I couldn’t before but definitely this time. My fellow madeiran hero. 🙏❤️

  10. Yes jane I think Sir Alex was a force behind him.
    London news going on about the visa issue , that it might not happen.
    I do think though that the visa won’t be a problem since he will be earning a lot more then what the Brexit had said
    It’s weird to think he will need a visa. Ah brexit.

  12. George , i think you are taking this comment out of context .
    I have 2 children who served in Afghanistan, 1 did a tour , the second did 2 tours. Cristiano has a work ethic which shows any young kid that if you want something bad enough you can achieve it through determination and commitment . The two scenarios are completely different .

    1. Jane as a curmudgeonly 80 year old I respectfully disagree, I very much congratulate your children on what they have done and wonder their thoughts. It is true that with a work ethic and determination and commitment one can achieve what you want but “sacrifices and commitment” that basically means physical training for four hours a day. Travel, First Class, Hotels, Accommodation, like wise I’m sure your two are familiar with the first part..

  14. My children joined the Army by choice and knew what was expected of them whether in Bosnia or Afghanistan. It’s their job . You serve your country . I asked what they thought of Cristiano returning to Man Utd . No issues whatsoever. They admire the fact that an 11 year old boy living in poverty left his home and his family and ended up arguably the best footballer in the world by sheer determination . If that shows one child that anything is possible in their life no matter where they come from then it’s changed a life .

  15. We seem to be disagreeing over the term, sacrifices and commitment, I don’t have an issue with which team he has joined, I don’t even have an interest. I admire that sheer determination has made him arguably the best footballer in the world. Also the best remunerated and no, as I said in my first post, I don’t begrudge him his rewards. But a professional footballers working day consists of what ? Five hours exercise. I have just seen the Paralympic Dressage Team being presented with their medals, all sporting some form of mechanical support. That’s sheer determination with sacrifice and commitment thrown in, with very little to show at the end of it but personal satisfaction.
