Cristiano Ronaldo has been given a final farewell from Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson - and immediately discovered the downside to fulfilling his childhood dream.
With a world record £80million fee banked by United and Ronaldo ready for a public unveiling at Real Madrid next week, Ferguson could only wish the Portuguese star well as he launches the new phase of his career.
"Cristiano has been a marvellous player for Manchester United," said Ferguson.
"His six years at Old Trafford have seen him develop into the best footballer in the world.
"His contribution has been a major factor in the club's success in that time and his talent, his ability to entertain and his infectious personality have enthralled fans the world over. Everyone here wishes him well in his future career."

Interesting how we hear and see just how much the main stay of Man Utd respected and now wish CR the very best for his future and for all he did at OT isn't it? Have we heard anything from CR about what Utd did for him? NO; do we hear CR wishing Utd the very best for the future and giving special thanks to his ex team mates and all those connected to OT and the 78,000 that idolised him every home game for they did for him? NO.......Says it all doesn't it; you can take the kid out of the gutter but you can never take the gutter out of the kid!!!!! Said it before and i will say it again; regardless of his awesome talent; non of this matters if you do not have any manners.......
A talented player...I wish him well...He served Man U well...
so he should. chelsea would have won league and CL 2 seasons ago if wasnt for him and his goals
Well said boss.Too bad he didn't want us as much as we wanted him to stay. It takes 2 to tango so farewell to him. I hate to that he has it all: Talent, good looks and now lots of money.
