For starters you are just as bad than Viana. Talking s*** about Ronaldo wanting to leave when he has already said hes happy and wants to stay. “in confidence” . Where did you get that comment from you imbecile, The daily Star!! “He (Ronaldo) has told me he wants to stay at United. Every time I see him I tell him to stay where he is. And I think he understands that,” said Djemba-Djemba “He is settled, so there is no reason for him to go anywhere else. He knows that.” (Comment edited for abusive language)

I think Ronaldo is quite a difficult one. He came here when he was very young as the first Portuguese to join Man U and he is quite far away from home in Manchester. He's also not a favourite among a lot of English fans for obvious reasons! That said, I think United is the best club for him football wise and he's no where into his prime yet. I don't think he should or will stay his whole career at the club but Ferguson has been excellent towards him and I don't think a premature leave would be wise for him, football wise, in the long run. I would like to see him gain the respect of English football fans as well.

As I stated before , don't keep on writting rubbish , it's nothing but rubbish , stop with she said i said balone . I don't see any MU fan writting articles such as these , only people that want to create instability at United . If he wants to go , let him go , I don't think that that is his wish , of course he is well at United but with all the balone written about him I honestly don't blame the kid for leaving. Let him be , let him play , let him delight the fans , If Hugo said that , it is because he is a jerk , and I am Portuguese just like them , but that are conversations amonst friends every now and them that words don't come out right , he's only 22 and he is still dreaming , he is only a kid , now who ever writes these articles , i am sure that is much older and has kids of his own , grow up and respect United for what they achieved and for what United stands for .

if u play on a team and u develop into a great player, y the hell would u owe them sumthin?

...United never nurtured a player without a guranteed return. He should go to a real football club like Liverpool. I am actually neutral, and sorry if it upsets you, as big and wealthy as you are, it is too blatent at OT that making money is more important than the fans.

Where did I get this rumour? Try every newspaper on sale today, from broadsheets to tabloids. You cant seriously think because a football says he's staying he will- there are too many examples to the contrary to begin to list! Rumours are fun!

This young man has had a brilliant career with Man Utd. He should stay there for another 3 years and then consider the italian league or the bundesliga. The spanish league is much to slow. I think he should become a Manchester United Legacy and play their or move to Juventus in the future.
Dont make me laugh, Liverpool is one of the worst clubs to join at this moment in time cause you only play 1 game then your on the bench for 2. What kind of environment is that for a young player!? Manchester united just about making money? Yeh they do make more money they any other club but we are one of the cheapest in the premier league to watch. A football team that play's fantastic football, Better than Liverpool. Why would Ronaldo want to play with crouch? I really would like to know.

BRILLIANT ARTICLE GRAHAM SMITH. EXACTLY WHAT EVERY UNITED FAN THINKS ABOUT HIM. ANYWAYS, WHO CARES WHAT VIANA THINKS. DJEMBA IS A CLOSE FRIEND AS WELL, AND HE SAYS HE IS NOT GOING TO LEAVE, WHERE AS VIANA THEN COMES OUT SAYING HIS TIME IS LIMITED AT MAN UTD. GIVE THE BOY A BREAK AND LET THE FOOTBALL DO THE TALKING AND DISCUSS HIS FUTURE LATER. ITS NOT EVEN SUMMER YET.

no, it wasn't only alex ferguson who changed CR... Felipe Scolari, Portugal's coach, had also a huge influence on his play. But, far more important, was the figure of CR himself. Only an intelligent, hardworking and objective player could have changed like he did. He may not speak good english or may not express himself right for the cameras, but he's far more intelligent than you think.

i think ronaldo will stay, not to the end of his career but atleast in the next season...if he doesn't stay, then it's because some english people can't let past be past both when it come to the world cup and diving! hey there have been 2 times this season where he has been accused of diving! 2? that's not enough to call him a serial diver! hugo viana says what he thinks cristiano want to... but it want he thinks! (remeber viana's pl career did not work that well) but Djemba-Djemba has talked to him...
in the first article that came out saying that viana though man utd big enough, there was nothing about he had talked to cristiano ronaldo... it's something the press has added...

i strongly advice ronaldo not toleave becoz being geared by big clubs is nothing istead he should train had to earn his club acredit in all aspects.having deloped his talent for sure;;;

I tihnk he should move to Arsenal. It'll be easier for Madrid and Barca to keep track of their potential targets if they're all in the same place.

Great Article

Real Madrid or Barcelona may be a richer club than Man United but when it comes to popularity Man U really thumps them.United has the most fans across the globe & is undoubtedly the most famous club

It might be prudent during the summer transfer market for Man Untd to consider strengthening the team by purchasing perhaps two of Ronaldo's countrymen,which may make him feel more at home.It is'nt only about his performances on the pitch with his team mates,its what happens to him socially when the training and playing is finished....its what you call psychology..oh and by the way Quaresma and Nani would be two good buys.

The boy is ours forever. Please don't go.. there's the Euro cup to be won.
