Cristiano Ronaldo does not make Manchester United title favorites__ Twitterati

Following the resigning of Manchester  United’s legend, Cristiano Ronaldo on Friday, are reactions from fans and rival club fans. The club in a statement said: “Manchester United is delighted to confirm that the club has reached an agreement with Juventus for the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, subject to agreement of personal terms, visa and medical.

Without a doubt, United hasn’t won an EPL title since 2013. Manchester City has won four titles in that span and three of the last four. Ronaldo seemed set to join United’s cross-city rivals on Thursday, but things changed quickly on Friday and United swept in to add the 36-year-old from Juventus.

Ronaldo played for Manchester United from 2003-09 and scored 84 goals in 196 appearances. He left Manchester United for Real Madrid in 2009 for what was then a world-record transfer fee. He moved from Real Madrid to Juventus after the 2018 season.

Becoming Manchester United’s top central forward option ahead of Edinson Cavani.

His arrival kicks Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial out to the flanks and reinforces United’s wealth of attacking options in the early-season absence of Marcus Rashford.

However, Ronaldo’s arrival shortened United’s Champions League title odds from +1200 to +1000. That didn’t move the Red Devils up the board much, however.

PSG and Lionel Messi are still the favourites at +275, though those odds could get worse if Kylian Mbappe leaves for Real Madrid. Manchester City is second at +350 and is followed by Bayern Munich (+700), Chelsea (+750) and Liverpool (+1000).

Manchester City is still the favourite to win the EPL at +125. Chelsea is second at +275 and Liverpool is third at +450. Tottenham is a distant fifth at +3300.

Manchester United has four points through two games after beating Leeds to start the season and tying with Southampton in game No. 2.
