Yes, because Ronaldo is the only footballer/person in the world who tries to maximise the amount they can earn, even if they can afford not to.
Thats not the issue. The issue is that he is behaving like an entitled *******. He didn't show up for pre-season, has been trying to get a move to other clubs and not actually communicating with United. He is welcome to try and get as much as he can but peoples point is that if he cares so much about going to a CL club there are plenty that would take him if he dropped his wage demands enough. He isn't willing to do that and seems to be trying to get United to help him leave after treating them like mugs.
I’m not sure that last part is entirely true. If we had CL football, he wouldn’t have done this. Same for the second year. Then he would have buggered off somewhere else and that’d have been that.
There was an option for a third year I believe and there would have been immense pressure to keep him if we were in CL this season and the season after. He would have stuck around like Rooney did for years after he should have been moved on.
He will never be happy not being the centre of attention or not playing every game despite the fact he isn't capable of it. He will never be happy to put the team before himself.
