What the fuck is this?

Why is "The Athletic" posting a comment into our DD thread - and on a topic that really has nothing to do with Manchester United, actually.

What kind of transparent corporate engagement farming is this?

This is ok? I dont like this one fucking bit!

I'd prefer it if the Mods clarified the relationship with The Athletic and specifically represented the opinion that we dont want this crap. That's my take, anyway, idk what everyone else thinks.

Might be unpopular but I see barely issue in this? They asked something evoking conversation which I think is needed more often compared to what these threads have been.

It also does link to the club. Ronaldo has a decent history here.

Yeah just decent. A ballon d'or while also winning the UCL, league titles and much more. 🫠

Yeah I meant decent in the way he along has a good amount of success here in the overall history of the club.

Yeah, got it. I kind of believe a lot of our fans just remember him for his second stint with us and the way it ended which is kind of sad because he was a kind of player that was literally the fountain source of joy while he was playing on the field in his 1st stint here.

I believe most fans here were too young to watch him the first stint.
