The decision of Manchester United towards Ronaldo
has made Manchester United to look so organised superior and unique, no other player will try to repeat what Ronaldo did in the club. This is because if Ronaldo been a big fish is treated this way by Manchester United for his misbehaviour think of what will happen to an average player, this is a standard that has been set, no one player is bigger than the club and no player has the right to openly disrespect the coach.
Even if you have no respect for your coach put it to yourself and not to announce it to the world and still expect to play under the same coach it is not possible

Actually we also can't say it's completely Ronaldo's fault because indeed he has also been in football for a long time and he has never done this before when he wasn't really forced to do it.
It's like Ronaldo's desperate act because he was never comfortable at Manchester United and actually when the coach respects the players this kind of thing doesn't happen.
In the end, we really see that apart from the problem with Ronaldo, Manchester United has problems internally and now the problem is growing again with the news that their leader has started offering it to anyone who wants to buy Manchester United.

Don't just sit here and judge what you don't know about, Ronaldo has never disrespected any coach he has played under. Ronaldo has played under world class Coaches yet they never complained about Ronaldo. Then what's different in Ten Hag era, Ronaldo love man UTD no doubt but it's better he move on then being in a place he's not respected or value. When You have outgrown your present, when your best not longer good enough for your association, don't wait to be limited or ridiculous before you bow out.

I think this world cup break is going some teams in the premier League, teams like Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool. And it might be a disadvantage for team like arsenal who where doing better before the league was put on hold, because the team might lose momentum to continue, then Chelsea case, Graham Potter will have enough time to analyse what he needs to do to start seeing good results before the new board will sack him, Tottenham Hotspur will have a lot of players back from injuries, because Conte side have been unlucky with injuries.

The premier league will begin next year after just one month of the world cup. During the world cup break, all clubs should look for better players who will fit in with their varied teams. The more successful Arsenal team would continue to add players during the January transfer period. I believe that this World Cup break is for all clubs, not only Chelsea, Tottenham, and Liverpool, to improve.

Nobody knows if C. Ronaldo will retire or not after the ongoing world cup in Qatar, also nobody knows if Portugal will be the country that would win the world cup, Portugal is good, but the world players in other countries are also very good.

C. Roanldo was very disrespectful is just the truth. He moved from Real Madrid to Juventus because Juventus is always strong and reaching up to semi final in Champions League, but it did not work out, he left the club unexpectedly and join Manchester United, nothing again, but hoping it could be like when he first joined Manchester United and won Champions League. His going would be good for Manchester United if they start focusing on younger players.

Looking on ambition from Cristiano Ronaldo on last window transfer keep playing with team participants at Champion League I don't see have planning for retiring from football, actually excited speculation about Cristiano Ronaldo future after mutual contract agreement with Manchester United.

Actually after leaving Real Madrid last several season, Cristiano Ronaldo never reach final stage in his previous team with Juventus or Manchester United in Champion League, he still has dreaming can play with champion league team and get trophies but I don't think any bigger team like Madrid, Manchester City and PSG interested to signing Ronaldo due he was 37 years old and actually salary could be problem for new team want to recruit Ronaldo.

Relating to Real Madrid, rumor says Cristiano tries to send a signal to Real Madrid that he is ready to replace Karim Benzema in the last part of season. Chance for him is not big because a few months ago, when was asked about him, Real Madrid boss, Florentino Perez simply asked "Do you know he is at 38 already?"

Real Madrid and Ronaldo fans want to see Ronaldo in Madrid. But that seems impossible to me. Madrid management is very clever. They won't be foolish enough to sign a 38-year-old player. And over the last few seasons, we've seen Madrid president Florentino Perez very conscious of player signings and spending money. He doesn't want to risk investing money on Ronaldo right now. There are doubts about whether Ronaldo will be able to play well. At the same time, it is very difficult for a 38-year-old player to maintain fitness.

[Davian144]

Cristiano Ronaldo is really being disrespected by Manchester United. Thus, if Cristiano Ronaldo does not have the opportunity to play as they are then Cristiano Ronaldo's future will not be good. For this, Ronaldo needs to join another good club that wants him.

I think you need to give a more precise reason for this "(Cristiano Ronaldo is really not appreciated by Manchester United)" so the evidence can be very clear. Because if you just say it based on your thoughts, I think it's a little inaccurate because here you need to prove whether it's true that Ronaldo is not valued by Manchester United.

Because the news about Cristiano Ronaldo's departure from Manchester United has circulated a lot in the media and after I read it, it turned out that there was a separate reason why Cristiano Ronaldo's contract had to be terminated. And now Cristiano Ronaldo is in free agent status.

Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Real Madrid would be an impossibility. We know the president of Real Madrdi, Perez is a firm figure, he will definitely measure a player's ability to join Real Madrid. I don't doubt Cristiano Ronaldo's ability, but as said he is old now and you are right the age factor will affect his fitness as a player. After all, Real Madrid also needs good regeneration for their future.

I think this World Cup break will be helpful for Liverpool and Tottenham teams indeed. But somehow I can't think the same for Manchester United. Because they still seem like they are on the same road as the one in the previous season. They are still struggling with the same issues. The issues with Ronaldo got bigger and they have parted ways with him as well. I don't know if they can come back stronger in the other half of the season. Maybe they will need some changes.

For example signing some new players for strengthening specific areas might be a nice help. They have dealt with finishing issues recently too as they have wasted so many goal chances. They will need Rashford and Martial both to improve their games.

[Xxmodded]

Cristiano Ronaldo still has quite high selling price, many teams interested want to signing and move to MLS or Asian league will be new challenge for Ronaldo. I think the decision to retire after the world cup is impossible especially with Ronaldo's desire to continue playing in a big European team. Ronaldo still on the top level right now based on how take care with his physical and he can managed well with his performance although have been 37 years old.

Possible for Ronaldo after World Cup can playing two until three years later, but I think top level performance with European team maybe one or two season and best ideas when moving to MLS and he can earn much salary because there are many team want to signing Ronaldo.

If we follow the news, I think Ronaldo problem with Man United has ended with the result of the contract has been terminated and Ronaldo having a free transfer status. But there is another problem facing Man United, namely the main squad is currently focused on the World Cup plus the problem of the owner of Man United who will sell the club. The aftermath of the Ronaldo case began to open up many loopholes and Ronaldo's decision is now considered the right one.

I agree that the World Cup break is for all teams, but I agree that this break will slightly affect the momentum that some teams are playing very well like Arsenal. Yes, we can't deny that because maybe this will be a loss for them because they lost the momentum they got before this break. Indeed, this World Cup is something unusual because it is held in the middle of a league season, but this has happened, so let's enjoy it.

We'll see how he performs with Portugal in the World Cup, because if Ronaldo is old and still chasing titles I don't think it's the right way. In fact, if we take another example like in MotoGP where at that time Rossi was already old but still had the ambition to get a World Champion, but because there were already many competitors and he was still very young. Until finally Rossi decided to retire, for me that could be an example or a lesson that in old age it is difficult to pursue titles.
It's different if old players play as usual and accept all the coach's decisions, for example like Lewandowski, Benzema and also Giroud. They are all playing as they can without having big ambitions to win the title, but the results are still good until now.

Ronaldo's case is very different, because Ronaldo is used to titles and maybe he thinks it's easy to win titles, so Ronaldo doesn't realize that his era has ended.
Instead of playing in other competitions outside of Europe which basically don't have prestigious titles like in Europe, then I think it's better for Ronaldo to retire.

I think Ronaldo was right in this decision. Manchester United has yet to really experience the consequences of this. The situations that caused Ronaldo to leave the team will come to light and will be talked about more. As you said, Ronaldo's decision was accepted by many as the right one. Since it was the World Cup, this topic was not talked about much. But the repercussions of this will continue for a long time. Ronaldo will be far from all this when he signs a new team. Ronaldo is making a fresh start and I think his transfer will not take long and he will find himself a team in a short time. MANU could not manage this process well.

From the beginning of this season and when ten Hag became the coach of Manchester United Ronaldo has been Disrespectful to the club and the coach. I think The pre-season game was the first time Ronaldo walked out when the match was still going on. I'm happy for the kind of coach Manchester United has, he is not a coach that tolerates nonsense from his players, it is also good for him to make christiano Ronaldo understands that no is bigger than the club. The way Manchester United handled Ronaldo will teach him to do right things when he goes to any club.  Manchester United handled everything in a matured way that won't cause more problems.

You're right, let's see if Ronaldo's performance in Portugal will be much different. Because at this time we cannot judge how far he is able to bring Portugal to the world cup this time. Then regarding retirement, it is time for this to be done, but we will return to the decision after the world cup is over. If you look at what Lewandowski did for his national team against Mexico, his performance has diminished and is not what it used to be. So will Ronaldo also be the same, if you look at Benzema and Giroud, these two players quite exist and can still score quite a lot of goals even though Benzema has to be absent due to injury.

[Luzin]

then I think it's better for Ronaldo to retire.

His spirit is still great, he still has a target to get the champion. As evidenced by that statement he was finally able to leave. Maybe he wants to go to a new, better club. I think he won't retire quickly. The desire to leave has been earned by him, this will be history because he insulted his own club.

I think if he wants to find a new club, he has to be outside the EPL. His physical ability is already incapable, I think he should go to the League with a slightly slower tempo.

When football connoisseurs, especially Arsenal fans, are enjoying the beautiful game shown by their favorite team, they have to switch their focus to the world cup. Arsenal are in their best moment before the international break, I think it will be difficult for Arsenal to find their best form when they return to action. They need a few games to get back to their best form, five points away from Manchester City makes Arsenal a little safe, even though they lose one game will not make their position threatened.

[xzone]

I don’t understand why will he retire now when he can actually play for 2 or 3 years in a top league, or move to USA and play there. Furthermore whatever happened was bad but in a way I’m happy, because he was getting wasted on the bench and he was getting a huge wage per week which can now be used for buying a new striker which Manchester United badly need.

I don't think Ronaldo will retire yet, he is still very ambitious and really wants to play football. He can play in a big team in Europe and achieve something more for his career and win new trophies.
He can also play in Asia or America and win big money. But I don't think he will leave Europe to make money. He can play 2-3 more seasons and win the last few trophies

[AakZaki]

~snip~
Chelsea hope of getting Potter is to boost the club's performance better than the Tuchel period, the results after Potter having played several matches with Chelsea have not been able to satisfy the club. Chelsea performance is still up and down, being in eighth place is not the dream of Chelsea officials.
Chelsea target was clear when appointing Potter as head coach, if Potter failed to bring Chelsea to finish in the big four, Potter's future with Chelsea would not last long.

At first I wasn't really sure about Potter,because the stats he wasn't enough to excite me. He seems to have never brought a trophy. But after he came Chelsea were indeed a bit of a nuisance, although if I look at them they haven't been able to stabilize. Even if you look at the last 5 games he has never won. Firing him is not a good decision, perhaps giving him the flexibility to choose that player would be a little fair, so potter needs time.

[Altryist]

It should have been done at the beginning of the season, but l'm glad that all these ended. Ronaldo said he doesn't respect Erik teh Hug because he "doesn't show respect to him". It is obvious that in such an atmosphere it was impossible to count on good results from Ronaldo. It won't have any effect on MU as Ronaldo did not have a permanent place in the starting lineup , but for Ronaldo it should be a new page in his career.
