Man United fans have had enough of Ronaldo’s bullshit after his latest comments

There was a time when they would have been giddy.

Football supporters these days are no mugs. There was a time when we were all perhaps a little naive and far too happy to take every statement, claim and quote at face value. Agents, clubs and players would play us like a fiddle as we believed their carefully worded spin, counter-spin and all round rubbish. But with the social media age has come an heightened savviness about what certain stories and statements mean - and more importantly what they don't. These days most of us can tell when a story has been leaked for a very specific purpose, and we are far better attuned to what quotes really mean. Take Cristiano Ronaldo. He is forever being linked with a return to Manchester United. It has been going on for years. Certainly the player himself has done nothing to stop the speculation. He knows that his old club can act as a very useful bargaining chip in Spain. He can leverage the links for more money. The only problem with being the footballer who constantly shouts wolf (or Red Devil) is that there comes a point when people get sick of it. He was at it again on Friday, during a court case concerning his tax situation. The 32-year-old threw his toys out of the pram and complained:

“In England, I never had these problems [regarding tax] - that is why I want to go back there.”

Wrong. They've seen and heard it all before. They know full well that this is Ronaldo having a tantrum and basically threatening Real Madrid, the Spanish authorities and everyone that unless all his problems go away, he will. The Old Trafford faithful seem to have had enough. They don't want to be used as pawns every time Cristiano wants his own way. They don't want their hopes to be continually raised for nothing. As you can see below, they've lost patience with the same old bullshit... https://twitter.com/RuiUnited_/status/893595940862525441     https://twitter.com/ClassicCantona/status/893594938281263104 https://twitter.com/utdcover/status/893595211833724928 https://twitter.com/KaneLewis18/status/893595217047302144 https://twitter.com/DanielH19/status/893595289881374720 https://twitter.com/Gta5_Mw2_Messi/status/893596032726073345 https://twitter.com/bakarabdull/status/893595109106868224 https://twitter.com/OwaisKhan708/status/893561334738157572
