38 years old in half a year, wants big wages, doesn't work for the team, doesn't track back, doesn't do defensive work. It's just a bad cocktail for us.
Sure he could fill the void Lewa left and I was also thinking he could be a good stopgap for 1 or max 2 years. But everything taken into consideration I don't think it makes sense for us to sign him. And it seems most other top clubs thinks the same, else he would be gone already.

People saying pressing is the only way to go, but Pep had 2 squads to do that over the full season and still, they somehow manage to be out of shape in the last few weeks of the season due the amount of games they play in all competitions + NT. There’s a reason Burnley from PL ain’t pressing all the time etc. because firstly you need tons of players for that over the full season and secondly, you need pretty much certain type of players in order to keep the ball for slower pace. That pressing and tracking back BS is just PL made up story and most of the big teams out of PL ain’t doing it day in, day out - like Ronaldo shouldn’t.
He’s still a grear player and as a goal scorer second to none. Not playing for the team is absolute fucking BS as well. He wants nothing else but to win, whether it’s on his personal level or not, but if his team isn’t winning he ain’t winning jack shit on his own. This world is full of players who kind of want to win, when someone offers them a win they will extend their hand to take it, but do not do anything to actually make it happen. Ronaldo is not like that. The last game for us, knowing he was gone and he scored a game winner on the extra time and he was celebrating it big time, taking the shirt off and it looked like it meant alot to him to give the 3 points to us. Out of the +800 goals he has scored over his career, one goal means nothing to him, especially it being the only goal in Serie A and it wins nothing personal on him, but he was celebrating it because we would have gotten us the WIN and that’s what he’s all about.
Tracking back, pressing, team player whatever people say. He wants to win and if your team is full of winners instead of sissys, he will deliver and give his heart out. Football is 11v11, not 1v1 and if you can’t find a working system on a total dominant team like Bayern in BL with him being the lethal weapon for you, you’re doing it wrong. Champions League against City is a different ball game then, but that’s 5% of the games over the season.
I actually feel bad for him going to Man Utd around the spoiled kids those Martials, Rashfords, Greenwoods etc. are. Those players should be thanking Ronaldo to bringing football even on the higher notes globally and increased salaries, so they can sit at home making 250k a week instead of 100k. i don’t think a club like Bayern with all the authorities are letting the players disrespect the club like it has been around the sissy club Man Utd is for last 10 years.
It’s not time yet to team up with his son in Sporting as that’s what i think the goal is in few years considering his son being good enough. Time will come, but Ronaldo still has alot to offer in the top teams in world and whether it’s Bayern or someone else, he still is one of the absolute best players in the world, whether people want to believe it or not.
