I have been a Man Utd fan (among other things) since 1981. I have seen misery and I have seen happiness. I have seen low points and I have seen greatness. I have supported all managers who showed faith to the traditions. We are destined for great things again, but we need time.

Many things have been written about Ronaldo and Man Utd. Sentiments aside, what desire could the club fulfil for a player who has won everything with it? I will, of course, continue to wish him well, but this is a chapter closed long ago and possibly the right decision by both.
