On this day in 2003, Cristiano Ronaldo joined Manchester United for the first time, with Sir Alex Ferguson describing him as an ‘enormous talent’ 🗣️ ✍️
United went into the window needing a midfield rebuild. Here, City are spending 300m+ on Anderson, Bouaddi, and Enzo.
December 2026, Carragher would be comparing Carrick with Maresca. People forget these two clubs don’t work in the same financial district these days.
Senne Lammens joined Man United for £18m last summer as a relatively unknown prospect. One year later:
🧤 Lost just 4 of 32 league games
🧱 Prevented more goals than any other Premier League goalkeeper in 2025/26
🥇 Named Premier League Signing of the Season
1️⃣ Now Man United's No.1 goalkeeper
Some first season 👏
Ronaldo wins Euro 2016. A month later Infantino becomes FIFA pres. Copa América format mysteriously changes & Messi finally wins it.
When the rat is on the verge of retirement, the format reverts. Nothing suspicious at all.😂👍🏼
🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Copa America returns to it's original calendar!
Between 2015 and 2024, the tournament was held every TWO YEARS. Now it'll go back to being held every four years.
Messi finally wins it and the schedule's back to normal. 🇦🇷🤔
Pool have gotten away with too much slander for being reigning champions, spending 400 million and STILL finishing 11 points behind an Amorim led United side for half of the season
This is what I fucking mean. You’d go training on a Saturday morning, come home, slap on Soccer AM then watch the early kick off, then SSN, then the late game, bang some fifa in between and the rest of the evening. Then Sunday; wake up MOTD, Sunday League, then Super Sunday… 🥲
no transfer business until that inevitable 2-0 loss on opening day against Hull. £150M will thereafter be spent in the last ten days of the window.
a tale as old as time.
