      He's not gone, He's just not been played regularly, he did not score 7 straight matches last year. And then followed by hatrics and continuous goals. This has been ronaldos career, always shutting people like craig burley, who doesnt stand for even an hour in his shoes.

      Ronaldo's ego will be his downfall., I hope the young strikers like Haaland and Mbappe wont do the same so they'll have longer careers. As a Messi fan, Ronaldo made Messi great and as Ronaldo-fan hater., im tired of watching those poor people cry., oh wait., im not., im gonna shower in their tears forever 🤣

      Hopefully he doesnt go to saudi arabia, the money is good but he will hate it there, every player that goes there hates everything there except the money and he don't need the money so i doubt he'll stick around there just for the money.

      WTHK is espn going on about. There's nothing here. It's just a statement. Cold or what not, it's just your opinion. I get lots of rejection letters and that's just that. I'm not going to cry over the 'lack of warmth' in the words. You don't expect a Dear John goodbye letter do you?

      Did Ronaldo force Man utd to put out that statement??? Did Ronaldo told Craig and ESPN to read and put out that statement in your ESPN FC SHOW?? I dont think. Both Man utd, Craig and ESPN are hypocrites and use Ronaldo's name to promote their shows. What a pity

      Can this channel just STFU! over United for once?
      "Pathetic"? Really? Useless pundit from a small club.
      The club drew a line under it and killed the animosity. Brilliant.

      Ronaldo has proven to be a truly great player, but I've never understood why so many people like him… He's a complete narcissist, who has one of the biggest ego's the game has ever seen. He also has disrespected Messi in the past, yet Messi has never said a bad word about him. It's just good to see that Messi was the one who was able to win the world cup. Not only a better footballer but a much more likable and humble person.

      How is Ronaldo a problem at Man utd, before Ronaldo they said POGBA was the problem, he left and they said JOSE MOURINHO was a problem he left, and VAN GAAL was problem he left, DI MARIA was a problem he left, and CRAIG BURLEY, MARK OGDEN and his ESPN CREW sat there and criticised the club the same way Ronaldo did in his interview and the hypocrites that they are because of being paid decided to take a dig at CR7 for saying the same thing you were saying for the last 8 years. NEWS FLASH, it doesnt matter what you and your show say or think, you cant take away what this guy has accomplished and you dont even have the right.

      Who are these clowns? Hislop the Carribean legend, Lebeouf who got a chance to play in the final thanks to Blanc's suspension and who is that angry nobody? Only a Zidane or a Messi or a Maradona or a Maldini have the right to critique another legend like Cristiano Ronaldo.

    30. Zaid Patel on

      Jeez. His gone and with Pogba, I am glad the circus has left ManU. Now if we can just get rid of the Glazers hopefully the club can finally head in the right direction. Ronaldo is the past. Can we move on

      Man even if Ronaldo retires or goes underground they'll still make something out of it
      I wonder if espn can make anything without Ronaldo
      😂😂😂
      Oh poor espn 😂

    33. Oluronke Da Silva on

      Is there a grudge between the ESPN FC crew and Ronaldo? As far back as 2018, in a period where Ronaldo went nine games without scoring, they kept saying his career was over. Only for Ronaldo to win the champions League. Not a big Ronaldo fan but all of these artificial bias should stop.

      Craig seems to think he’s employed without daily Leo or Cristiano segments. ESPN FC is a joke program with zero star power of their own.

      I’d guess 85% of the traffic ESPN FC gets is from people who type Cristiano Ronaldo or Leo Messi into their search bar. I’d also bet 0% of the traffic is people typing in Craig Burley.
