Cristiano Ronaldo is going to stay with Manchester United for at least one season as he said. But Sir Alex Ferguson has another opinion about it. Fergie believes Ronaldo will stay for years to come as it is strange to anyone to leave United.
Although Ronaldo thought his reasons to leave the club is reasonable, he won everything with United and it was his boyhood dream to play in Spain with Real Madrid. Sir Alex idea about Ronaldo is much different. He believes Ronaldo still has more and can just improving better and Ronaldo will love life at Old Trafford as he gets older.
“As he gets older, I think Cristiano will appreciate being here more and more,” said the Scot. “That happens with players the longer they stay here. They don’t want to leave. It’s unusual for anyone to want to leave Manchester United. Cristiano realises that, too.
“Cristiano will settle down and enjoy his career here. He’s got four years on his contract, and hopefully at some point we would like to extend it. That’s where we are.”
As a fan of Manchester United, everyone agree with us Ronaldo did not show his loyalty to the Club which made his name. Yes, he did great job during last two years but he has to remember how difficult it was when he started to play. So that, Sir Alex believes that as a fans of the club we should not be so harsh on Ronaldo because of huge money he been offered from Madrid, his age and the time he suffered during his father death.
“The fans have to understand it has been a very difficult time for him,” Sir Alex was quoted as saying in The Telegraph.
“He has been offered all this money – when his dad has died a young man and he is looking after his mother, his sister and his brother.
“He has had a troubled time, and you can understand that.
“But once he knew my stance, he settled down – and as far as we are all concerned, the matter is finished. The boy is a United player – that is what is important.
“We cleared the air in Portugal, and the boy spoke to a few of the players as well,” the Scot added.
“The thing is, he knows he is happy here – and has always been happy here.”
I’m very happy that ronaldo will stay with us. he is the taste of man utd. i hope sir alex will convince ronaldo to stay more than a year in manchester 🙂
