I'D APPEAL FOR SOME REASON TO PREVAIL HERE, DONT­ MIX ISSUES; I THINK RONALDO HAD TO GO BECAUSE HE DID­ NOT WIN THE FIGHT AGAINST LIONEL MESSI WHO UNDOUBTEDLY­ WILL BE VOTED THE NEXT FIFA AND EUROPEAN PLAYER OF THE­ YEAR. RONALDO WILL DEFINATELY NOT BE ANYWHERE TO­ CHALLANGE THIS AFTER THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SHOWDOWN.­ HOWEVER IT IS AS GOOD AS HAVING A REST. THERE ARE MANY­ MORE TALENTS IN SIR ALEXS CAMP YET TO BE EXPOSED, IN­ FACT SOME OF THEM WERE MISSING OUT BECAUSE OF RONALDOS­ INFLUENCE AND DEPENDANCY. THIS IS THE TIME FOR THEM TO­ COME OUT AND PROVE THEIR WORTH. WHO KNOWS, NANI CAN­ EVEN EMERGE BETTER THAN RONALDO BECAUSE THERE IS TIME­ FOR EVERYTHING. IT WILL SURELY BE A TIME FOR ANOTHER­ STAR AT UNITED. ROONEY, NANI, TAVES IF HE STAYS,­ MACHEDA, ET AL ARE ALL POTENTIAL WORLD BEST PLAYERS IF­ ONLY SIR ALEX CAN UTILISE THEM EFFECTIVELY. RONALDO­ BECAME THE BEST BECAUSE SIR ALEX LOVED HIM AND GAVE HIM­ ALL THE OPPORTUNITY AND THE FREEDOM TO PLAY AT ANY­ POSITION HE PREFERRE. THIS IS SOMETHING THE OTHERS ARE­ NOT BEING GIVEN OR RATHER ARE NOT BEING EXPOSED TO.­ TAKE ROONEY AS AN EXAMPLE, HE IS A CENTRAL STRIKER BUT­ SIR ALEX MOST OF THE TIMES PLAYS HIM AT THE WINGS, PARK­ IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE BEING TURNED INTO A WINGER YET HE IS­ A DEADLY STRIKER. SIR ALEX SHOULD ALSO CHANGE HIS­ ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE PLAYERS HE HAS. HE SHOULD PLAY­ SOMEONE AT A POSITION THE PLAYER IS COMFORTABLE WITH.­ HE SHOULDNT INVENT NEW TACTICS, THAT CAUSED US THE­ DEFENCE OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TITLE.

Viva Dierdrie Barlow lol

Low: 2009 Didnt score a goal against the Mighty Red­ during the 4-1 defeat at OT
LOW: 2009 Was totally­ outclassed by Mighty REds Maschy during their 2-1­ defeat at Anfield

There is time for everything a time 2 born & a time­ to die, a time to laugh & a time to cry,a time to­ sleep & a time 2 wake, a time 2 rise & a time­ to fall, a time to pass & a time to fail, a time to­ come & a time to leave!I dont know which of the­ time is it for Man U now but i think Ronaldo's time­ has come 4 him to leave and continue wit his career.He­ wasnt born at Man U so dont expect him to die there.­ He has his life to live! I wish him all the best!

I'd like to wish the guy all the best for his­ future if/ when he moves. personally I think it is a­ serious step down in class from united and I think the­ introduction of two world class players (ron &­ kaka) may start an exodus of names already established­ at Real. it makes me laugh how blind some managers/­ presidents are, all attack & no defence at Madrid­ & I think they'll be fortunate to finish their­ almost default second place in La Liga.
To all those­ bemoaning him leaving united too, £80m can buy a number­ of top players that can help squad rotation &­ cover for many positions. I'm kind of glad it's­ out the way to be honest, gives us the summer to really­ have a closer look at our shopping list ^_^

I am a life-long supporter of Man U and feel very­ disappointed at losing Ronaldo. I am old enough to have­ seen the original Busby Babes and believe that never­ before have United had a player with the skill and pace­ of Ronaldo. There is no replacement for him. The other­ so called best players in the World ie. Kaka, Messi,­ Villa and so on do not have the bottle to ply their­ trade in the English Premiership because it will be too­ much like hard work for them. They are afraid of the­ competitive edge which they will face week in and week­ out. I would like to see their world ranking after a­ season or two in the EPL. For these reasons, I can not­ see Sir Alex being able to persuade any world class­ striker to step foot into Old Trafford. I hope I am­ wrong.

u r soles ( comment 14 ) makes a stupid statement. Its­ like saying Liverpool or Chelsea will fall apart if­ Gerrard, Torres or Lampard and Drogba leave. It just­ won't happen.

Ribery + Benzema Ronaldo

i cant belive it but this going too far real

He has undoubted skill as a player but no loyalty to­ his club it seems. Never be regarded by Man U fans with­ the same respect and passion that they show for Eric­ Cantona, Dave Beckham or even the wee fireball Carlos­ Tevez. Perhaps he has been constantly badgered to sign­ for Real by his agent who has pocketed 8 million pounds­ from Real Madrid in the deal. Still its like a breath­ of fresh air getting away from all the press­ speculation involving his will he or won't he­ antics. I think he may even regret leaving after all­ what is the best and most successful team in the world­ when he is sitting on Reals bench with the other stars­ who are simply there to guarantee the shirt sales at­ the club shop etc. Will United miss him, most likely at­ first but dont forget that United have been successful­ over the years even after losing great players. i.e.­ George Best ( the best ever for me ). Law, Charlton,­ Schmeichel, Beckham, Van Nistelroy, Stamm etc etc. One­ thing that has made SAF the manager he is is that he­ knows the game inside out. Just think who he could­ purchase with the £80 million fee he has just had put­ into the club. We may see Tevez staying yet, but­ Uniteds purchasing power can buy even two great players­ to replace Ronaldo without breaking into their already­ rich finances. Think this could all turn out for the­ best, and if I were a fan of another team I would not­ count my chickens just yet.

"The Argentine outshone Ronaldo as Barcelona ran­ out comfortable 2-0 winners".....So true oh and we­ get to see this 2 times next year........

he is a very good player

UTD IS BIGGER THAN ANY ONE PLAYER...RONALDO HAD PEEKED­ AND HE WON'T GET ANY BETTER...GLAD HE'S GONE­ AND WE DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO ALL THIS SPECUALTION­ ANYMORE.

He's won 8 trophies with GREATEST TEAM IN THE WORLD­ for 6 years, and we will se how many will he manage to­ win in real.... I BET NONE....
I CAN'T WAIT­ CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TO SEE THEIR "STARS" against­ MUFC

Good riddance. Thanks for all the help over the past­ few years but you've reached a stage now where you­ have to go for so many reasons. I shouldnt say this but­ I hope you fail at Madrid & there is no way it is­ the club it once was & you will get nowhere neare­ the success you have achieved at UTD, it's a shame­ you didn't stay longer so that you could cement­ your place as a UTD legend! I'm sure this will be­ summin you end up regretting later on in life as there­ is no better manager in the world than Alex Ferguson.­ FACT

man u may miss him but the prem leauge wont, i love 2­ watch him play but at the same time i h8 2 watch him­ play...................... BNP all the way,

i noticed United fans didn't sng about him the­ season just gone.. Buy Drogba instead haha.

its nice to see all the scousers are awake at last, out­ all night thieving i suppose, listen here and listen­ good, we will be top again next season theres no doubt­ about that, its you lot that has it all to prove, not­ us, 20 years without a prem win is pathetic, even­ NEWCASTLE took us to the last game of the season few­ years ago something you havent done.even poor old­ blackburn have won it ha ha ha, so keep supporting you­ losers

briansharman, as also a life long united fan,weve seen­ them come and weve seen them go, SAF knows what hes­ doing i questioned his selling of van nistelroy, staam,­ and others and now i think he has done the right thing,­ over the past month or so in the season rooney was in­ my opinion left out to rot on the wing, he is not a­ winger just look last night where he is best, he is­ world class to remember. even though we dont really­ know this, but i think ronaldo thinks he is bigger than­ our club, in which he is not, dont get me wrong he has­ been fantastic over the last few years to us, and i­ wish him all the best in his new life at madrid,but it­ was time for him to move on 12million = 80 million­ thats good business, and even if SAF only gets half of­ that to spend its worth it.maybe TEVES will be in the­ running next season at old trafford, sad to see him go,­ but glad also in a funny way, have a nice day
