He lost United as many games as he won for them during the last two seasons.
However this last season he has become more of a team player than he used to be. Now if only he would stop trying to cheat. Stopping for as long as he did whilst taking that penalty was blatant cheating and the ref let him get away with it. So it was poetic justice that his shot was saved.
Ronaldo is good enough not to try to cheat his way through a match.
He can’t even claim to be the person who introduced the ‘step over’. In a not too distant documentary about the FA cup it showed one winger doing a step over back in the fifties.
Finally, I think that Stanley Matthews was a better winger than Ronaldo.

For a start Sir Matthews may have been the best winger in his period.. but he would not have a chance in the modern game.. not enough pace, only average at passing and shooting.
I did say in an earlier post that the main reason for myself supporting United was the exciting way they play..and Ronaldo sums that up,thank God your not the Manager ,I suspect it would be boring stuff!
