Cristiano Ronaldo fails to smile as Manchester United spend like ‘something from FIFA 2022’

Ronaldo in action at Brentford

How dare Ronaldo drive into training without a big old grin on his face? After all, Manchester United are signing everybody…

 

Ron a downer
Many of us no longer drive into work but if you do/did and were photographed by a phalanx of people outside your place of employment, would you be pictured grinning? Would you have a smile on your face and a song in your heart?
