There is no perspective in this issue, people should educate themselves. George Best and Bobby Charlton were greater players than Ronaldo for United and it is not even close. Whatever Ronaldo did later in his career does not count in his United resume.

Bobby Charlton won the champions league/european cup, scored 2 goals in the final, was in 3 consecutive Ballon d'Or podiums, won the Ballon d'Or, was world class for almost TEN YEARS at United and you think Ronaldo's 3 years is near him. 199 league goals from midfield including 8 double digit seasons.

George Best also won the Ballon d'Or, was on 2 podiums, scored in the champs/european cup final and had about 6 world class years scoring double league figures and countless assists. 137 league goals including 7 double digit seasons.

Denis Law won the Ballon d'Or, 3rd top scorer in United history, won the European cup, champs league, about 7 world class seasons.

They all played longer for United, were great for United for more years, and scored more goals for United than Lord Ororo.

Overall Ronaldo is obviously the better player but for United those 3 were greater.

Raul is a greater Madrid player than Zidane and Ronaldo de Lima though we know Zidane and Ronaldo were better players overall.

Del Piero is a greater Juventus player than Zidane.

Xavi and Eto'o are greater Barca players than Maradona.

I don't even understand why United fans are debating this. This is the first time I'm seeing a United fan placing Ororo over our Holy Trinity. It's preposterous to say the least. Ororo never created the impact or legacy those three did for us. It's not about winning the Balon D'or. The impact and legacy over many years are important criteria to consider.

I really don't mind us g this Shaqiri. Anyother person with me on this?.

seconded!

No, it is not. Any Liverpool fan that rates Owen ahead of Gerrard in "Liverpool greatest player" category needs a lobotomy ASAP.

An uneducated Liverpool fan might do it, same way uneducated United fans can say Ronaldo is the greatest United player.

Gerrard is so highly rated at Liverpool the only player that is definitely ahead of him is Kenny Dalglish.

Quite surprising. That is why in my first post i asked that people educate themselves.

No be fight, na advice. If you don't know enough about something you have to educate yourself before making proclamations.

You should understand why their choice is Ronaldo, because it is something they, we all witnessed, no be hear say, or history books. Though I do not agree that he is our greatest ever player, but I'm not surprised his name is coming up, We all witnessed it, we all saw it and seeing what he has turned out to become(though not in our colors) really makes their point quite valid

There is no validity here, just ignorance. What he became after he left United has no bearing in the debate. All you just said is why i said people should educate themselves and you thought it was an insult.

Those that are ignorant can say he is the greatest United player THEY EVER SAW, and there won't be any argument. The fact that you didn't watch Charlton, Best, Law does not mean they never happened.

Otherwise another indomie generation fan will come out tomorrow and say Zlatan is the greatest United player ever because he never saw anybody before 2016.

I'm not taking anything away from the world-class finish of Ukaku, but you're missing an important factor - Ukaku's ing casts.

Just imagine Mourinho plays attacking football and we have a ing cast of Hazard and KDB behind Ukaku. Mehn!! Ukaku go miss and score tire. No wonder Aguero and City players were just scoring and seeing chances like say na ABC.

Ukaku without the burden to track back and defend is untouchable. Mourinho, please, I beg you, go for an attacking setup. Ukaku shouldn't be encumbered with the task of tracking back. This ideology must end last season.

Lukaku doing what he knows best!

Exactly what we were saying here some months back when people were attacking Lukaku. No striker will thrive in our present set up.

Hopefully we get the right attacking ing cast to play behind Lukaku at United. Swift and accurate ing of the ball not all those try your luck dem dey do

I just dey focus on the positive mehn.
Though a Jose fan would say that bolingoal's finishing and overall general play as increase since dem together.

This World Cup na good way to watch how all our players perform outside Jose's influence. pogba for me in particular.

Martinez is a bastard, Fellaini for Lukaku Seriously?

You are the one who is off course. Go back a few pages to the origin of the debate, it was an assertion that Ronaldo was the greatest United player ever.

I disagree! The fact that he won the world footballer of the
year as a United player puts him ahead of both players.

This was my argument bro. I never mentioned him being our best player ever. That's why I asked you to stay on course.

Pogba has been one of 's standout players even though football has been uninspiring at best. United players in general haven't been doing badly this tournament. The likes of Rojo missed out on their country's humiliation.

I keep saying you are the one who should stay on course. You can’t a debate midway and dictate the . This debate started with someone claiming Ronaldo was United’s greatest ever player, and that is what we were debating before you went on your own tangent.

Since I have been banned from mentioning Mourinho in here, I won't say anything.

I just hope people are watching our players play under different setups and managers.

I think he will nick the golden boot ahead of Ronaldo.

I think so too. You can now see what Lukaku can do when he gets decent service and not at left back to defend

I disagree. Lukaku needs to improve
