It is highly unlikely that two big
names in world football are playing together. Not at least in the twilight of
their careers. Reminds me of Real Madrid Galaticos: Figo, Beckham, Zidane,
Ronaldo (Brazil) Roberto Carlos Michael Owen. Good for the sport though!

Well anything
is possible in the world of football. Egos are involved and yes the people
behind PSG have the money power to make such a move possible. It would be
interesting if it actually happens but perhaps one will have to wait and see.
- Upesh Morajkar, HR Manager, Vasco
I don’t think
it is possible. Yes, he may have issues with the coach at the moment but it can
be sorted out. Man U needs him and his performances have been eye-catching. If
he goes over to PSG will he get the same top billing with Messi and Mbappe
around? Messi has had problems adjusting to life in PSG. The two of them are
now towards the end of their respective careers. Yes, they are superstars and
have motivation levels us common folk may not understand but it perhaps makes
me more prudent to stay put in MAN U. Well let’s see how it all works out.
- Vivek Kudaskar, Engineer, Mayem
I have followed
his career and it has been marked by great success wherever he has gone. Now
back in Man U in his second innings, it has been different. He is a different
kind of player and the manager in charge has a different approach to the game.
That can and will lead to friction. Yes, I have read the media reports of the
approach made by PSG. Well it could be news planted by his agent to exert
pressure on the MU coach. A move to PSG will mean he will be another cog in a
wheel which has players like Messi, Mbappe to name just two. He is older and
cannot be the centre of the team. Let’s hope sanity prevails and he stays at
Man U.

This development is certainly one that
came out of the blue. As a fervent MAN u fan, this is not something I am happy
with. Yes, the team has been underwhelming to put it mildly. We are presently
ranked 7 in the Premier League and I think we will stay mid table this season.
And now reports of a rift between Cristiano and the Manager are the last thing
we needed. If he leaves, it will have a psychological effect on the squad. I
hope all the parties involved think about the team.
- Johnny Carvalho, Business, Nagoa
Yeah.. I've
heard about these rumours. I'm a Ronaldo fan personally. Both the players are
in the twilight of their careers and I am more interested to see them play for
one last time in the Fifa World Cup at Qatar. Although I was excited to see CR7
back as a Red Devil, I think the move came at the wrong time when the team was
in a rebuilding phase. I would be more excited to see him back as the Manager
at Man United one day. Both he and Messi have had an extraordinary career and
it's about time we shift our focus on the next set of Superstars in the
Beautiful Game..!
- Omi, Musician, Vasco-Da-Gama
Well that’s
international football for you at the highest level. Big money chasing the
stars even if they seem to be in the latter stages of their career, that’s a
reality. If he makes the move and if Mbappe leaves then yes, he will have a
solid place in the squad and then he and Messi can wreak havoc in the French
league and importantly in the Champions league. PSG wants to win that title
which has escaped their clutches in the past. They have the Emiratis backing
them with oil money so they have the budget. Let’s see how it all works out.
