Ronaldo..how many goals?

[CJHibby]

How many goals will Ronaldo score for MU this season?

[Magpie]

Depends if he takes over penalty duties from Bruno. I reckon about 15 goals if he doesn’t. Still can’t see United winning anything regardless.

[MWHIBBIES]

20-25 I think

[CJHibby]

Bet he can't wait to play Brighton 😄

[Gaffer1875]

25, easily

I agree.

15 or so I reckon on the presumption he doesn’t take over the pens.

He can take over the free kicks, that’ll still mean he’ll get 15.

[Pagan Hibernia]

If he stays fit there’s no reason why he can’t get 30. He’ll have a lot of attacking talent around him.

Agreed. They have bought really well this summer but are still looking at Matic, McTominay and Fred as their 2 midfielders shielding the back 4. They don't control games enough and still seem to be at their best on the counter.

Do you think Bruno will hand the penalties over? Can’t see it personally.

Question marks still over the defence for me, they will for sure score a lot of goals but I think against the top six they will struggle again.

[calumhibee1]

I don’t think so. And neither he should.

I think this’ll be the first time a team won’t be built to make Ronaldo successful since his last spell at Man Utd.

Not that there’s been anything wrong with doing that previously, it’s nearly always worked well!

A marquee signing for the club and league anyway. I actually look forward to watching him back in the Prem. They have so many attacking options now a couple of players are going to be left unhappy, perhaps Martial will leave now?

[JohnM1875]

Be surprised if Ronaldo isn't on pen duties for Man Utd. He takes them for Portugal right? And if it does stay with Bruno he'll be off them after the first miss.

Ronaldo should easily be able to make it to 20 goals minimum with the service and chances Utd create.

[Cod Boy]

A few goals but not trophies

[green day]

For £12m in the stupid EPL market, Ronaldo is a steal. Keeps himself fit, is a very clever player.

I suspect he will have a great season.

[Sir David Gray]

20 + EPL title number 4.

Hope not.

I've got Fernandes in my fantasy team.

[heretoday]

Sixteen. He'll get injured by some hairy-ersed defender at some point.

the city is buzzing. out for a meal and everybody is talking about it. utd fans are buzzing and city fans are gutted.

Wan Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Shaw is a fantastic back 4. Among the best around.

[Hibernia&Alba]

If he stays fit and plays a good number of games, he should be getting over twenty.

[my left peg]

Ronaldo at least 25 goals....and I say that as a Man City fan since the skol festival tournament of 1979!

As disgusting as this transfer is, at least Ronaldo has more about him that the weak little money grabbing club destroyer messi.

What on earth are you talking about?

[Andy74]

There are quite a few options for that front 3. Not sure he’ll play every week so might not reach the big numbers being talked about.

[Mon Dieu4]

More about him that he paid about 19m euros for tax avoidance 2 years ago?

[The Modfather]

I assume Ronaldo will be playing for free? That seemed to be expectations from some for Messi, despite the fact he ultimately couldn’t be registered whether he was to play for free or not.

[jgl07]

Can any team cope with two egos of that size?

[heretoday]

He's still faster than most of the big old chaps in the Prem defences. His little legs go quicker than theirs.

Therefore he will score a lot of goals.

[Pagan Hibernia]

At 36 he’s in better shape physically than most 20year olds. He’ll do alright for another couple of years.

[Northernhibee]

I’ve heard he models his running style on Florian Kamberi.

[Since452]

I've barely watched any English football in the last few years. This transfer has got my attention though and I'm looking forward to seeing how he does back at Man United. Huge transfer on so many levels.

[Sylar]

The real question is, has the Fantasy PL app updated to include him yet?

I honestly thought Ronaldo was going to City, not United.


I need to concentrate a bit more.

[green day]

Theres his first, probably his easiest

[green day]

And his second..........

No sure who ever thought this guys would struggle to get goals in the EPL.........

[WhileTheChief..]

Incredible. He’ll prob finish the season as the league’s top scorer.

[HibsGW]

And his second..........

No sure who ever thought this guys would struggle to get goals in the EPL.........

Different ball game scoring week in week out against Lascelles blah blah blah. Nonsense.

[calumhibee1]

He’ll be desperate for a pen now. He’ll get to take it since he’s on a hatrick and if he scores it he’ll prob get to keep them!

2 goals a game in England since he’s returned. Farmers league :greengrin

[Pretty Boy]

I just hope Ronaldo doesn't get a hat trick.

Scoring 3 on his debut might give him a bit of a big head.....

[CentreLine]

No that can’t be right. He’s not one to have an inflated ego, is he?

[Tommy75]

Noticed BBC Sportscene had the scorer listed as 'dos Santos Aveiro' what's that all about? I know it is his name but when did they stop just using Ronaldo?

[1van Sprou7e]

Eh? If he was paying for free then he would be registered no problem but obviously he's not going to do that

[heretoday]

I wonder who will score more this season - Ronaldo or Lukaku.

[bigwheel]

I’m guessing if it’s Lukaku it would be the first time he’s ever out scored Ronaldo in a season …even last year in Italy Ronaldo out scored him

[HH81]

Imagine if man u don't win anything this season, then Ronaldo signing is a failure. Even if he scores 50 goals.

There's no world where signing Ronaldo would be deemed a failure! Whether they win anything or not, it's a fantastic signing, for the club and for the league.

[Pagan Hibernia]

if he scores 50 goals, for a fee of £12 mill or whatever it was, then the signing was a massive success. Even if he scores half that it was a great piece of business by United.

I agree. Bums on seats. What's not to like?

If United win nothing it'll probably be because nice guy OGS isn't in the top rank of managers and they need a new one to be honest.

You don't win trophies based on shirt sales.

If they don't better last season how is it a success?

Does it matter if Ronaldo scores 23 tap ins and finish 3rd?

If United win the quadruple, you will still say they had a poor season.

[Lancs Harp]

United fans are ecstatic at his return, they were already looking at an interesting season, City United Chelsea and Liverpool all looking good, only one of them can actually win it.

Imagine if SJM returned to Easter road? Times that by God knows how many and thats Old Trefford tonight and Im certainly no United fan.

Yorkshire folk are so bitter about being overshadowed by Lancashire. The Wars of the Roses were over six hundred years ago. They lost; they need to move on :greengrin

[AugustaHibs]

A fair few, but not as many as Lukaku.

[Just_Jimmy]

You don't win trophies based on shirt sales.Modern football is only judged on trophies by the fans. Those that own the club don't care a jot they judge it on money in.

Don't think anyone is ignoring it? It was everywhere at the time.

If the evidence was so strong surely he would have been found guilty by now no? It was almost three years ago.

Did you read the piece. Speigel says that's because they didn't get said the information of him admitting to her saying stop. It's in that ground that's hard to convict she started it then changed her mind and what was his actual words. She got a huge pay out from him so it might be over.

She got about a 300k payput at the time. But there is an ongoing suit.

I don't think it can has been that widely reported, a lot of folk think there is no case to answer, I think recently only Der Spiegal and a small article on The Times is all there has been really from the news outlets.It's striking how many people really don't care about it.

His lawyers had a super injunctions against all papers, although failed in a German court to stop the speigel story. He made her sign a NDA not to talk also. There's many celebrities that have made stories go away by injunctions and ndas unfortunately. Not saying Ronald is guilty but there should have been a case without a payout being allowed
