“At times you don't get successful because you're the best in class or because you're the fittest or because you're the most energetic. At times you need luck. I'm a product of luck.” — Billionaire Businessman Tony Elumelu
🚨In arguably the most important transfer window of the last decade, Manchester United are trying to be “CHEAP” and avoid paying the fees needed for WORLD CLASS players.
I understand not wanting to overpay. Every club should negotiate. But there’s a difference between being smart and being too cautious.
If you want the very best players, you have to accept that they come with elite price tags. That’s the reality of today’s market.
This is the summer to be bold, not hesitant. The cost of being cheap could end up being far greater than the cost of signing the right players.

Portugal should get eliminated Abeg what’s all this rubbish ???
Let everybody rest !!
WTF , 2022 same agenda 2026 same agenda !!
No be do or die Abeg @Cristiano your legacy is intact even without a World Cup ! The slander is too much !!!!
Let me be clear about Cristiano.
And I hope it's the last time I make such a declaration.
I am a lover of football first, foremost, and last.
I was never a fan of Ronaldo, nor did I ever really gravitate to his football aesthetically.
When your favorite players are Maradona / Zidane / Rui Costa / Figo etc - players who are collectivist and have a broader vision of the pitch - you just don't gravitate to Ronaldo.
However, I will say this. He is undoubtedly as great a player both in talent and achievement as any that has come before (or with) him. I prefer what Diego proposes with the ball. I don't think Ronaldo could ever replicate Diego's heroics in 86. But I don't think Diego could guarantee the inevitable goal against every opponent in the UCL and lead to a 3peat.
That is to say - Ronaldo is a pillar of our sport. There is no history of football without Ronaldo. Whether you like or dislike his football. Whether you like or dislike his personality. He has always been divisive - some of it is due to his personality and some of it due to an impossible and deepseated hatred in Anglo-media since 2006 that never let up and that we can all see. I have never seen a player travel to every stadium in England - even his own - and get booed for a year. And the scorn that he has had to face never let up - with vultures ready to pounce st the first sign of trouble.
Sport is about the human spirit. Teaching us to persevere against all odds. Consistency, discipline and courage when the going gets tough. THAT is the lesson sport imparts for our children. THAT is why some sportsmen are heroes.
What Ronaldo is doing at 41 is nothing short of an UNPRECEDENTED sporting achievement and act of singular heroism. The sheer amount of work necessary and the willpower to fight against the dying of the light to represent his country. An indomitable spirit. If that isn't enough to stir and inspire you - I don't what can. This is beyond commendable - it is inspiring. He has embarked on an impossible mission - to show us that the human spirit has no limits. Do we tell a an explorer NOT to attempt to travel to the moon? Because it is near impossible and fraught with risk? Or do we applaud and cheer on a man in his bravery? Food for thought.
But beyond that, the recent deluge of vitriol, wanton disrespect, and media pile-on is frankly disgusting and evil. It is evil because you are spitting in the face of a 150 year old tradition and culture that we call football. The culture we call home and brings together billions of people. Cristiano is football. And football is Cristiano. Whether you love, hate or are ambivalent about him. And for that, a modicum of respect as a fan of the game for OUR game is necessary.
To see charlatans and half-achievers and no-names aspire for clicks and media fame and buzz to keep their name going or out of some tragic, personal hate and dislike for a man is saddening. It is saddening because these people do not belong in the culture they desecrate. The culture they weaponize, utilize, and instrumentalize but provide nothing to. Today we reject these people. We won't accept them in our circle anymore.
Forza Cristiano. Against the dying of the light.
🚨🗣️ Thierry Henry on Cristiano Ronaldo vs DR Congo:
“Let me be very clear about something.”
🗣️ “Every time Cristiano Ronaldo steps onto a pitch, people expect miracles.”
🗣️ “And every time, he delivers something that keeps him in the conversation of the greatest ever.”
🗣️ “Tonight against DR Congo, it was another example of what he still brings to football.”
🗣️ “His movement inside the box, his positioning, his mentality… these are things you cannot teach.”
🗣️ “Even when the game is difficult, even when Portugal are under pressure, he is always there waiting for one moment.”
🗣️ “That's why he has scored goals for so many years at the highest level.”
🗣️ “People keep asking if Cristiano is finished.”
🗣️ “Finished players don't create chances every game.”
🗣️ “Finished players don't scare defenders the moment they enter the box.”
🗣️ “Finished players don't still decide matches in World Cups.”
🗣️ “Now, let's address the comparison with Messi.”
🗣️ “This is where people make football too simple.”
🗣️ “Messi and Ronaldo are not the same type of players.”
🗣️ “Cristiano is about efficiency, power, mentality, and finishing.”
🗣️ “Messi is about control, creativity, vision, and making the game look like art.”
🗣️ “You cannot judge them with the same formula.”
🗣️ “They changed football in different ways.”
🗣️ “Cristiano turned himself into a machine built for goals.”
🗣️ “Messi was born with football in his feet.”
🗣️ “And that's why this debate will never die.”
🗣️ “But what people forget is this: greatness is not only about style… it's about impact.”
🗣️ “And Ronaldo's impact is still massive.”
🗣️ “Even against teams like DR Congo, he demands attention from every defender.”
🗣️ “He opens space for others.”
🗣️ “He changes defensive structures just by being on the pitch.”
🗣️ “That is respect at the highest level.”
🗣️ “So when people say he is finished, I don't agree.”
🗣️ “I see a player who is still dangerous.”
🗣️ “Still competitive.”
🗣️ “Still hungry.”
🗣️ “And still capable of deciding games.”
🗣️ “As for the Messi comparison…”
🗣️ “I will say this.”
🗣️ “We are lucky.”
🗣️ “We are lucky to have lived in a generation where both exist at the same time.”
🗣️ “Because once they are gone, people will realize how special this era really was.”
🔥🐐🇵🇹🇦🇷
🗣️ “Ronaldo is not finished.”
🗣️ “Messi is not replaceable.”
🗣️ “And football will never be the same again.”
🚨🎙️ Rio Ferdinand on Portugal performance against DR Congo:
🗣️ “Yes, DR Congo scored and they deserve credit because they’re a very good side.
What I have to say about Portugal is that their biggest issue isn’t the defence.
It’s chance creation.
They’re dominating possession, controlling territory, and seeing plenty of the ball, but they’re not turning that control into enough clear-cut opportunities.
Bruno Fernandes, Vitinha, and Bernardo Silva are far too talented for Portugal to look this predictable in possession.
I think questions need to be asked about Roberto Martínez tactics.
The sad part is that at the end of the day, only one man is going to take the blame.” 👀
🚨 Mourinho:
“They say Bruno’s struggling… go watch Portugal. Vitinha runs the base, Bruno floats and kills games. At United, he’s forced to play plumber while people expect Picasso. You don’t ask your artist to fix pipes..wrong role, wrong judgement”
@DevildetailsMU Player profiles, player profiles, player profiles
Whether it's Yoro or whoever, some players aren't made to do whatever this system is asking them to do. Yoro is not a aggressive WCB.
@UnitedStandMUFC All of you are mad! This same Bruno has always criticized himself in multiple interviews. It's high time he stops taking the fall for other players, and the coach's nonsense. Ya'll expect an attacker to have an instinct of a defender. Some of you don't even think
@UnitedStandMUFC I mean, it is Brunos fault for allowing foden to run off him, but who was yoro marking. I mean none of the man utd players were marking properly other than de ligt with haaland
@UnitedStandMUFC Doing exactly what you did to rashford to make the fans turn on him now to Bruno. Funny thing is, those two were the only glimpse of hope we had until dummies like you promote negativity at every given time. Critize your dumb coach. Always chasing symptoms instead of a cause.
