…. F–k me!

Yes, if you took Ronaldo out of the team, United would also be playing with 10 men all season. 1 player less than any other team in the League.

Replace him with another top quality player, or alternatively remove Lampard, Adebayor, Cruz, Torres, Benjani from their respective teams and you will see a similar effect.

Manchester will always win whoever we have playing for us. We have been doing it for years and it will only continue.

He was involved in 47% of united’s goals last season, higher than any other player in the league. If you take away 47% of united goals, they would not have won anything.

If United was a one man team Portugal certainly should have won the euros this summer..

Scolari is right – it’s not a one-man team. We saw that a few years ago when SAF shipped out his leading goal scorer and the so-called “pundits” wanted to know who would score without Ruud. Well, that led to two EPL championships; who is to say that losing a far better player – Ronaldo – might not result in the same result ?
