One time fans and glory hunters. Most fly by night fans who dont know f all about the club, history tradition and passion. Just people on the bandwagon. Thats why true lifetime diehards get drowned out by pathetic screams ronaldo we love you etc. Those days of the hardcore element at many a top clubs have disappeared to the globalisation and appeal of our clubs. Thats why people say..if you want to see real footbal fans and passion...then go to watch lower league game...and its true. You wont see fickle fans there...cos theres nowt to be fickle about jig

Difference is yes ronaldo may like utd...but he is a professional who wants to do the best for himself..perform to his best ..become the best..and yes even though he gives it his all for utd. ITS this peronsal achievement and glory that is the difference. Ronaldo great player for us and his acievements are maybe peerless. BUT the likes of CANTONA did it for more than personal gain or improvement or accolades or achievement. YES like ronaldo they gave it there all to attain things for the club. But the difference is they breathed..worshipped..dreamt..and became man utd. That love...that passion..that talk of utd as the best. Ron doesnt have that. That heart of cantona = robotic efficient ronaldo Cantona will talk about utd higher than himself...as the club that made him eric the king. Ronaldo will talk about what he gave and did for utd. The heart and sole of a club compared to an employee who may do amazing things, yet still behaves like an employee..i perform...get a wage and get better. Whilst ERIC became part of manchester utd ala sir bob..sir matt..saf...besty etc. Thats the difference 1.

Eric loves Utd, it was and is his home. He understood the club in the way that a select few players can. There were good and bad times and there were also complaints that he never performed in the big games but he never turned his back on the club. Fergie had to fly out and convince him not to turn his back on football & the premier league, it was never utd he turned away from. Ronaldo is a great young player and his talent justifies his actions to a degree but he will never be loved like Eric. I was embarrassed by the fan's reaction to his re-introduction, it was akin to the Vermin brown-nosing Gerrard after the CSK London episode. The kid deserves to be applauded when playing well for the club but I think the fans should have more respect for themselves than jumping around like fools when he pirouettes off the bench. I don't hold it against him for wanting to move to Real, if i was in the same position in Spain I would love to sign for Utd as I've supported them my whole life. There is however only one King. NO CHANCE.

How is it possible for a player who has openly claimed want to go to other club is loved like King Eric? Eric never wanted to play for other clubs, he finish his career with United and the most important thing is he still loves everything about United....and @Drew Vader, if I'm not mistaken Bryan Robson won less trophies than ronaldo, does that make Robson less loved? Regardless of how many trophies ronaldo won for us, he will never be loved like we love Eric. Unless of course ronaldo change his mind and finish his career with us, but we know that won't happen.......... Never.

He is a mercenary and a damn good one but he will never rank among the legends. Gary Neville will always be loved. So too will Scholesy, 20legend and a number of others. Ronaldo? No. Agree with you, John – not a chance. He is a mercenary and a damn good one but he will never rank among the legends. Gary Neville will always be loved.

Fergie knows this and would walk thro fire to keep CR7.
