La Liga - Ruud: Ronaldo will join Real

Eurosport - Wed, 08 Oct 17:57:00 2008

Ruud van Nistelrooy has said he is confident Cristiano Ronaldo will join him at Real Madrid.

Ronaldo - 0

The Dutch striker left Manchester United for the Bernabeu in 2006, and has backed his former United team-mate to follow him to Spain.

"One day Ronaldo will join us. This could happen next summer, or the one after," Van Nistelrooy said.

Ronaldo has been the subject of almost constant speculation over his future, having said it was a "dream" to move to Real.

However, no move materialised, and United's determination to keep hold of their star asset was strengthened by their fury at Real's frequent public declarations of interest in the Portuguese forward.

Van Nistelrooy also set his sights on winning the Champions League, having seen his former colleagues lift the trophy in May.

"Winning it one day is my dream. And Real Madrid can do it with all their great players," he said.

  4. man united arent the best team in the world and ronaldo isnt the best player,
    messi, kaka and ronaldhino are better
    ronaldo is close but he is not irreaplaceable
    i love how man united fans turn their back on players once they leave, you forgetting when he single handly won the league for you,

  9. I think if Ronaldo is going to leave it would be to Chelsea
    1. Because he is money orientated
    2. He is good mates with Scolari
    But on the other hand i dont think United would sell him to Chelsea or to anyone.

  11. Get a life suzy and grow up. Premier league football is for grown ups not little girls with no ideas about the realities of football e.g. turnover, fan base (local and dispersed), stadium size, stadium fill rates etc etc....

  13. Why do Liverpool fans think that by beating Man U 2-1 that immediately confirms that they will win the league.Have Liverpool fans got so desperate that any decent result against the biggest club in the world and their season is complete.

  14. Ruud has never really got over being sold by Man U.He is like most Dutch players in that their ego controls their mouth.Ruud was a great player at Man U but he started to believe the hype,also this is the man who reduced Ronaldo to tears on the practice ground and now he is proclaiming how he would love Ronnie to come to Real.I think this might be another Marca non story as the word is Schuster is on the way out, as he has fallen out with Mijatovic,yet another successful director of football.Real are the Spanish Newcastle!!!
