Cristiano Ronaldo has spent more time talking about United, our manager and our fans, than anything else since officially joining Real Madrid this week.
He spoken to the press again today hailing Sir Alex Ferguson as the ‘maestro’ and that it was a ‘pleasure’ for him to play at Old Trafford.
“Ferguson is a maestro,” Ronaldo said. “For me he was my father in football. He was crucial in my career and, outside football, was a great human being with me. Talent isn’t everything. You can have it from the cradle, but it is necessary to learn the trade to be the best. When I arrived in England I was an 18-year-old kid and had established stars by my side. Ferguson taught me to clean up my faults, to know to give the pass at the last moment, to take the right decision in the area. I spent six years at United and I owe them everything that I am today. I made history at United and won many trophies. It was a pleasure to play at Old Trafford, but now a new stage in my life is beginning at the Bernabeu with new challenges.”

Fuck your bitchybeu
well said, ronnie. i think he has shown a lot of class, unlike tevez, that f*cking midget. i’ve said it before, i’ll say it again. where are all the tevez supporters now? are you still chanting over sir alex? look who was right- sign him up… my arse.
Viva Ronaldo
im a Tevez supporter here. Whereas I dont like his behaviour and clearly Ronaldo is showing much better behaviour I am going to miss Tevez more than Ronaldo. Ronaldo is leaving in good circumstances, I still havent forgot his whining, his shouting at teamates, even at Sir Alex, his tantrums when he got subbed. Tevez was mistreated but I dont know, Ferguson knows best. I wish Tevez behaved differently though :-/
Damn he makes this harder. It would have been better if he left and didn’t say much. Anyway, thanks for everything Ronnie, you will be missed, but you will eventually miss United.
I wish he was as gracious last summer and during many parts of this season , funny his attitude has changed now that he has gotton his way, typical spoilt brat.
Tevez was NOT mistreated, period!
- On topic, good luck to Ronaldo, he’ll need it against Messi
The tabloids are like parasites who publish these stories to simply gain circulation by playing with fan emotions! In my opinion the story was way premature and rubbish! Did you know they also claimed a comparison with the number of shirts they would print for Rooney! Lol
Here is an article I wrote on 11Reds about giving Owen a fair chance! Since you are generally so anti Owen so thought of postin it: http://11reds.com/opinion/give-owen-a-fair-chance/
It seems Ronaldo has joined a circus especially after seeing him fail to dribble the ball without perfection in front of Madrid fans! I think he will learn lessons about Club Legend and history at Madrid! And I pray he misses United like HELL!!!
Why is he being so nice??
What does he want??
Hmmm…
Bye Ron. x
all the best kid.
thank you ron we owe you alot and not as much for the football but for the respect youve shown united since you went to the clusterfuck
fucking hate tevez
Never thought I would say this but the grace that he has displayed in his exit from OT makes up for a lot of his bull shit in the past year.
Another thing I never thought I would say. I like him better than Tevez!!!!
Six months ago, I would have laughed at the thought.
Fuck Real, Fuck Barca, Fuck La Liga, Fuck Tevez the little cunt tits bastard he can get himself fucked of to the council house sit and inject heroin and eat rat shit! Also Fuck old people who drive and go to the spar for a full shop, take an hour at the bastard counter talking about bollocks while i stand there losing my precious dinner break waiting to pay my 20p for the daily star!!
credit to him but ..
I really am surprised by Ronaldo’s class. Deep down, he wants to keep everything in order here when it all goes to shit at Real.
well said ronnie….wat ur 2day is because of manutd and saf….
thanks 4d memories…ur a legend here….viva ronaldo
He’s certainly talking with a lot of positives and with exceptionally good manners too … but I can’t help remembering how he ruined the mood of what was a utterly fantastic feeling of success following the CL Final in ’08 and for most of the summer he showed his real ‘brat’ side … who remembers him falling to the ground in tears, whilst the rest of the team ran to celebrate with VD Sar? He was only thinking of himself then and is now …
I wish him luck and thank him for him massive work whilst being part of MUFC, but I doubt he’ll ever come near to reaching the dizzy heights at Utd with Real …
Is it just me or is Ronaldo feeling a bit guilty because of all the hype last summer? But he is showing respect and he leaves with my respect also. He helped us win all those trophies and when leaving he cashed in 80 mills for us. Thanks for everything Ron, good luck.
Tevez should learn to show some respect to the greatest manager he will ever have played under.

gutted
You can stop the licking up now Ronaldo. You treated us with contempt prior to leaving, why go on the charm offensive now?!
His a great player,and he will succeed in spain just as all othe flamboyant players..Although i predict his success wouldn’t be that great as he was with manchester united,but he will definately succeed in spain without even a doubt..
looks like the premier league is getting its shape back as being an old round ENGLISH BULLDOG fight.Not much flair player will be inroduced to English football this term.And its kind of refreshing
We are Mancheter United.
We are an English team.
We may not have flair players as exciting as la liga.
we may not have the best passer as the la liga.
we may not scored much as la liga.
But we are proud to be supporting manchester united..
Give the kid a break ! He came to M/C at 17/18, knowing no English, and being “coddled” by SAF and Quieroz to RVN’s great displeasure. He overcame that. He overcame the hideous treatment he received after WC2006 and overcame all the kicking, throttling, mugging, and dirty tricks that are sometimes called “professional fouls” by the dim-witted media experts. He overcame all that and was the best footballer in the world last year and not too shabby (Porto ? TheArse ??) in 2008/9. Too bad he didn’t score at the start of this year’s CL final but he has been (mostly) dignified in his comportment.
Sure, he has a huge ego – it’s part of the territory – but unlike some other big heads he’s backed it up on the field of play. Three-peat in the EPL, winning the CL and coming in runner-up in the last two years. Not bad, eh ?
He was never going to spend his whole career at UTD and his going-away gift was a cool eighty million quid (80,000,000) whereas he could have stayed a year or two longer and left UTD with nothing. I’d have liked him to stay for his whole career – but it was never about me, it was always going to be about Ronaldo.
He was at UTD for almost as long as Georgie Best was sober; he was at UTD for longer than Eric Cantona. He was a brilliant player and the team is no better for his leaving – but it is 80,000,000 quid richer. NOW SAF can go out and create a NewUTD with other stars, and all that money won’t hurt his renovation project.
He realizes that he wouldn’t have become a great player if it wasn’t for United and SAF. Great. Wait a little bit longer and you will realize you need United to keep winning trophies Ronnie. Too bad you left. You are never going to be a United legend and the clusterfuck don’t even know what a legend is.
For all Ronnie’s tantrums and sulking he will definitely be considered as a Legend in the years to come trust me by the United faithful. That’s a given. Ronnie was simply mesmerising stuff. If Ronnie did come over to England to bid his farewell to Fergie and the lads then I take my hat off to him. Best of luck with Portugal Ronnie lad.
Now you are missing utd!!! But at least you are happy about Man Utd not like that bitch of tevez…. fuck you tevez
Any attempt to satisfy people will only amount to nothing.I realise that if he hasn’t been so gracious,people will complain,now he has shown some grace people are brandishing microscopes to elaborate on every phrase he’s made.Please guys give me a break.Lets focus on the future and leave the lad alone.
Haha its funny how Ronaldo is paranoid and afraid of our reaction. Dont worry, we wont love u, but most of us will still ‘not hate’ you.
We’ve moved on, you’re good to go.
Ronny saying these things just make Tevez more of a cock.
Utdgirl15
typical a bloke is nice and ya think there is an ulterior motive lol
He prob does think a great deal about what he has left behind and the boy is young and he must be a little apprehensive, not to mention he might want to come back one day.
have a good time Ronaldo, just not to good a time if we draw you in the CL
JEEZ, he’s been and fucked off….let that be an end to it…. he was a great asset to us but he ain’t ours anymore….he’s now playing for his PREFERRED club…. so I say, fuck him, now lets get on with our own players and let him get on with it. Stop feeding his fucking inflated ego
I have warmed to him a bit again. He has no reason to say these good things about United and Sir Alex etc, in my opinion he genuinely means it. Fair play to the lad. Old Trafford used to go up a gear whenever Ronnie got the ball. All the best Ron.
it’s more like
wham bam!!
then he realised to say
thankyou united …
fcuk you ron ..
He will miss United more than United will miss him
He’s singing the right tunes… I don’t hate him for leaving now and not as much as I did when he first expressed his feelings to leave. Of course there’s a bit resentment but I wish him well, well enough not to win anything against us that is!
denton davey, perfectly said.
Ronaldo wants his 6yrs at ManU to be remembered positively. He is not going to burn his bridges as he may come back when he is 30 or so to end his career where he first made his mark. He has been given good advice and other than when we play Real in the CL, he thinks he needs at least the moral support of ManU fans. Let’s remember him well as a good loyal former player.
some people still looks at negatives of Ron….for example the way he behaved after he got subd or that he had a poor season…..i am tired of reminding them the positives…so stay in that shadow…keep throwing shit at one of the best talents we ever had..
why cant some fans…remember…that he started to track back…and improved his work rate…since sunderland match…why cant you see that even though he is going to leave…he listend to SAF and improved tht aspect of his game…
how come some forget…that without him..we wouldnt reach the chmps league finals…or what about those crucial goals against villa,spurs..most of forgot about blackburn game…he won us that game with a stunning free kick…this is how i would look at him….viva ronaldo!
Ron was a once in a decade player.close to impossible to replace him ,but SAF has faced this problem before and always come up wid ans answer by replacing cantona wid becks and becks wid cron.whoever gets 7 now wil bcme a legend in 2-3 yrs.
2-3 years…is i guess too small to even consider a player as great!…which is what ronaldo is…he is great!…which he achieved in 6 yrs…even though i am a ronaldo fan…i dont call him legend!…these days that word has been overused!..
the past decade has only…3 legends…giggs,scholes,nev!
@usama: “Tevez was mistreated but I dont know, Ferguson knows best”.
What???
It still baffles me when people say that Tevez was mistreated. How is he possibly mistreated when the club he claimed to love above anything else offers him a contract which would make him one of the highest earners at the club??? If anyone is mistreated at United, it should be Rooney, who has been sacrificed in game after game just to accomodate Ronaldo! But do you EVER hear him complain? NO! That just goes to show what is expected of you as a player and person when you sign for United. Something that Tevez obviously never understood or were capable of doing! Fuck Tevez and please dont give this guy any more sympathy, he just doesnt deserve it!!
and keano…
Tevez!…doesnt deserve my attention at all…he doesnt deserve even a single comment!
spot on jorgen.tevez is giving all these damning interviews while SAF is keeping quiet.Tevez is just making diff excuses.first he said he was not playing big names.then he says SAF dosent like me and finally he blames Berba for his departure.The Cunt.Feel like whacking him for disrespecting SAF
right ancha we shud not waste our time thinking of that asshole.
i actually hate Tevez can wait to play man city and piss all over the stupid people
just got a list with our recent transfers to real:
Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid) 94.000.000 €
Gabriel Heinze (Real Madrid) 12.000.000 €

David Beckham (Real Madrid) 37.500.000 €
—————————————————-
Total 158.500.000 €
looks decent to me
faie play Ronnie, good luck to you man, just try not to score against us in the Champions league

Look, for me Ronaldo is a bitch…he was saying that he is loyal to United and he is not going nowhere, that he bouhgt a house, that he wants to be like Giggs legend of the club and everything…where is he now? How you can be so naive? He didnt give a damn for United. He showed that many times! Tevez said honestly what he think about Ferguson…Ronaldo is saying good things now, just to not be in the fight with fans. I m wondering what would happend that ManU didn t sell him to Real? Would he love ManU and Fergi the same way? And after final when he said that Fergi is guilty for loseing final(wich is true,nobody didint say that he is stupid, beucause Fergie knows the best), when he throw up his shirt when Fergi changed him in the game…he didn t respect nobody, but Tevez was honest…but most people don t see that.
One rules for Tevez, other for Ronaldo…when Tevez critises Fergi, how he can do that…but when Ronaldo do that, never mined…
