You don't work hard to be as successful as Ronaldo and be silenced. Manchester United may not need Ronaldo but surely they may need his opinion. Such a useless rich club failing to pull itself out of an abyss. Forever a CR7 fan. Won everything and nothing to lose!

@goal Goat

Never forget. 🐐

@GarethLipunga All the best Gareth
