I worked out there for a month back in the summer of 96. 40c at midnight isn’t nice, you’re correct you’re constantly indoors or in the pool as there’s just no respite from the heat. People were friendly mind, very hospitable.

Thanks. I'm trying to gauge the lifestyle, even for a multi millionaire. Seems an odd choice when money isn't really an issue. He could probably have had his choice of US cities or clubs back in Portugal if he had wanted a swan song there. To make money the prime thing in his situation is sad really.

Maybe he’s found his level, playing with 3rd rate players will make him look like a superstar, all while making crazy money in the process.
I guess there’s also the angle of growing the game in Saudi but I really don’t want to go there ??

It depends on the individual. If you are the sort that likes the city life, and the whole celebrity culture around that, then I'd imagine you'd want to be in a big city in western world

I'm not sure Ronaldo is that sort of person. Seems to like living with his friends and family, and enjoys all that healthy living lifestyle. So, I'd imagine he would be just as happy living in a mansion with pool, gym, massive amount of land, etc wherever it is, be it London, Grimsby, Mecca, Riyadh, Lagos, etc. Well, probably prefer places with nicer weather I guess. So, as long as the heat in Saudi isn't too unbearable, I'm sure he'll be happy enough there for a year or 2, earning a few hundred million.

Yep, I am. And Anthony Joshua for fighting over there. Plus David Beckham for whoring himself out to Qatar for the World Cup. The list goes on. All multi millionaires willing to turn a blind eye to add more millions to their bank balances.

I’m no fan of wealthy sports stars taking the money but where do we draw the line though, many watch the premier league and support Man City and Newcastle two clubs that could be argued are doing nothing more than sports washing

3 massive points from a very average performance.
Wan-Bissaka had a great game, I thought.

Again, though, they are the games in which United have been dropping points for years. The 1-0 away wins when not quite at your best do so much for confidence and momentum.

And if Rashford was dropped for a discipline issue despite being on a decent run of form that just underlines the growing feeling I have about ten Hag - he’s in charge, not the players. I’m absolutely loving this fella, and the changes he is bringing about.
