“Please don’t tell me Man United are bringing him in to sell shirts? I know they’re going to make £100 million or whatever, but this is Man United – they’ve got to win the league!
“Their next-door neighbours [Man City] are ripping it up, so they’ve got to bring someone in. Now, who wins you the league: Ronaldo or Harry Kane?
“For me, Harry Kane wins you the league, Ronaldo doesn’t,”
🗣 "They have to win the league."
