He was doing everything he could to avoid criticising him for what he did though. Even though heād lambaste the likes of Pogba if he did the same. Keane and Ronaldo have one thing in common. an absolutely single minded desire to be the best that made them get the very most out of themselves at their peaks and drove them far beyond what they should have achieved. It also meant they canāt just bow out gracefully when itās over like normal people. Suppose that was probably his point really.

Its simple really. Keane respects Ronaldo and still thinks he has something to offer United and didnt agree with Nevilles clutching at pearls and saying get rid for a one off thing. Fine him. Move on.
He had fuck all respect for Pogba because he thought he had nothing to offer United and he was right about him from day one as was Ferguson when he binned him as a youth
Neville and JFH were saying to get rid and Keane wasnāt having it
Yeah the crux of it really is should Ronaldo be starting and is the team better with him in it. I think 95pc of people agree they are better off without him if he gets pissed off and has a bad attitude around the place if heās not starting every game or gets taken off. The suspicion is Keane and Ferdinand and the lads are only saying that because they are delighted to be friends with one of the all time greats and donāt want to fall out with him.
How did other greats of the game finish off their careers I wonder?
Keane is like a lad who hasnt slept for a few weeks, 'cos his child is teething, and heās ready to take his frustration out on the first gimp who crosses him whether heās right or wrong.
They go to scotland to havr their lives ruined by sporran makers.

I bet you Ronaldo works harder than any of them in training and is good around the place as an example. Look at the condition of him at 38.
Iād start Ronaldo over Sancho or Rashford every day of the week and tell the other cunts to run for him.
Sancho has a bad attitude. The bare minimum on the pitch. Fuck all guts.
Is bang on. Sancho over Ronaldo is ridiculous.
It varies.
Pele went to the New York Cosmos and was a sensation. He won the Soccer Bowl.
Bobby Charlton played a couple of games for Waterford FC.
Georgie Best played for Cork City.
Maradona disgraced himself at a World Cup.
Messi is dialing it in in the French leagues.
Keane had his life ruined by sporran makers in the Scottish leagues.

Ronaldo will get 5 or 6 goals at the World Cup.
Ole had United as a decent counter attacking team. Ronaldo was brought in and they reverted to a shambles under 3 managers. ETH bins him off and they revert back to being a Top 4 team. Ronaldo is the problem.
Yeah you could see him bang in 3 against Korea, 2 against Ghana and going off crying against Uruguay

What were Cruyff or zidanes last seasons like? Even lesser players but still club greats like dalglish, Barnes, Robson, totti etc. Nobody remembers really they only remember the greatness. I presume itāll be the same with Ronaldo. A lot of times fellas move on to slightly lower clubs but he canāt do that either.
The reason he was great is because he was a mad cunt and itās also the reason he canāt bow out gracefully.
City battered them without Ronaldo. They were piss poor against Chelsea without him. He got a winner against Everton recently.
They beat Spurs without him. Relax.
Uniteds problem is theyāre shit.

Zidane had a great season in 06 and went after the World Cup
His last act was to bop that cunt Materazzi after getting France to the final
No disgrace in losing to City. They beat Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs without him. They were getting humped by Watford, Brentford and Brighton with him.
That had more to do with Harry Maguire than Ronaldo.
Why does everyone think you concede goals if your centre forward doesnāt close down the goalkeeper all of a sudden. Load of crap.
Ronaldo is elite. Has elite mentality and if he gets chances will still score goals in big games and win United matches.
Rashford and Sancho wonāt

Esteban dealt with Zidane below. As memorable an exit from the game as thereās been.
Cruyffs wife was a cunt and made him retire too young, because he couldnāt keep his trousers on while staying in hotels at away fixtures (cc @caulifloweredneanderthal). He lost his lifeās savings in a failed pig farming venture and had to play out two further seasons in the NASL.

Ronaldo is a sporting God.
Why do you think nobody outside of the Middle East is interested in bringing him in when heās been trying to engineer an exit since the summer? At his peak, or even four years past it like Juve, the cost-benefit is worth it. Not anymore. Aside from getting Luke Shaw off the apple crumble heās done nothing in his second spell.
