Ronaldo coming back? I don't believe this but i hope this is true.

Although things aren't perfect for him at Madrid, the media would go along with a story like this because it's so high profile they'll sell more copies/make more money. So don't be fooled by the amount of 'ronaldo to united' articles that have been produced lately. I don't think it will happen, would put a smile on my face if we did..

If it did happen, him upfront with Rooney would be the best front line i've witnessed.

Imagine this:

---------De Gea

Rafael-Smalling-Vidic-Fabio

Nani-Pogba-Cleverley-Ronaldo

Rooney-Welbeck/Hernandez

I think that could be one of the best united teams I've ever seen, provided Pogba and Cleverley live up to their pontential. A world class defence and goal keeper (I've always had faith in him). A cracking midfield. Possibly the greatest wing partnership ever? And Rooney and Welbeck up front, they could all interchange making it un-markable.

Percy

No Phil Jones?

Wouldn't go that far and where's jones gone?

Ronaldo will never return just more paper talk! Plus its going to be prob the 80million we sold him for! I would prefer to spend 80mill on bale n modric

I don't know where Jones would fit in, he's a worse CB than Vidic, Evans and Smalling and is a worse RB than Rafael, maybe play a three in midfield?

Percy

More chance of Bobby Charlton and King Dennis comming back - we have NO MONEY!

Phil Jones has had a bit of a dip in form of late but he's still a fantastic player. Better player than evans by far, just isn't when his confidence is a little low.. After scoring two own goals im not surprised but he's only just joined us and he's 19.

Also by the time Fabio and Pogba becomes good enough to cement their positions in the team, Vidic will be nearing the twilight years of his career.

Ozwald

Phil is a fantastic player but we are gonna ruin him if we don't give him a position and stick to it! No wonder he can't defend when we play him over the park - he doesn't know where he's supposed to be

Percy
jones is a top player and pogba is still a couple of years of.
also that team is not as good as the team we had when ronaldo was last at the club
jred

Yes but to CITY not you lot. Ha Ha

The only bit that would be worse would be the lack of Scholes, but even then, if Pogba and Cleverley live up to potential we won't miss him much either. Welbeck, will be brilliant, as will Chicharito. De Gea, I think will be better or as good as Van Der Sar. The only other question mark for me, would be, will Fabio be as good as Evra in his prime? Because he was on a different planet.

Percy

I totally agree with everything you're saying Percy. It really annoys me when people look at a line up and say 'oh - where is so and so'. Football is a SQUAD game, we can't fit everyone at the pitch at once.

The matter of fact is that Vidic and Smalling are still better center backs than he is. He would get games at right back - he'd be used in rotation and would get more than enough games.

That team does look fantastic it must be said. I think we could help raise a bit of the money for Ronaldo. I think we would have about £50 million for this summer (similar to last) so with maybe getting 8-10 for Berbatov and bits here and there for other players we would be in a good situation to get him back.

We'd also win more trophies i believe, so we would wreap the rewards very quickly.

Percy
............ Van der Sar,
Brown , Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra,
Hargreaves, Scholes , Carrick,
Ronaldo, Tevez, Rooney .

Subs: Kuszczak, O'Shea, Fletcher, Silvestre, nani giggs,anderson.

i think that is a better team
jred

'Jred'

That is indeed a better team, but the team that Percy put together has the potential to be as good as that team.

To better that team we would have to go out and buy a lot of players instead of developing what we have at the moment.

I think combined the side then and the potential side now you'd get a roughly even spread:

Van der Sar
Jones Ferdinand Vidic Evra
Nani Carrick Scholes Ronaldo
Welbeck/Tevez Rooney.

That remains to be seen, Rooney is better now than he was then, Ronaldo's better now than he was then. I believe that both Pogba and Cleverley will be better than those midfielders, bar Scholes maybe. Smalling is sensational, he'll be better than Ferdinand and Rafael will be better than Brown. Also, Nani's a better winger than Rooney was.

Percy

R rooney and ronnie better , do you think Ronnie has improved at Madrid
will smalling/ vidic/ Ddg be better than Ferdinand /vidic/ Vds , I don't think so

Also the midefield 3 of scholes carrick Hargreaves worked very well
and the front 3 of Rooney, Ronnie , tevez was the best in Europe at the time , mind you the team was the best in Europe at the time
jred

This in my opinion will never happen, If he comes back to the Premier League and Manchester it will be to City.......... but it's always nice to dreams!

Hello guys, i asked this before be got no answer, anyone any idea when the United City Derby currently still pencilled in for 3pm on the 28th April (my 30th Birthday) will be changed to, i assume it will be a early KO on either the Saturday or Sunday. Just i am trying to plan my celebrations around it ha.
Thanks
KevDarko

I'd check what other fixture's are on on the same weekend, If there are any other big fixture's we'll probably be on Super Sunday, If not then I'd say 12:45 on Saturday. Complete guesswork though really.

United Till I Die 1987

KevDarko I can tell you officially that the Europa Cup semi final second leg will take place on the 26th April that being the case if City or United are involved the United City game will definately be played

Another year past, but lest we forget the bravery of all those aboard that survived and those who sadly died.

Forever in our history.
