The News of The World have an exclusive interview with Ronaldo today, the first since we accepted the Real bid for him.
The summary is:
- He wanted to leave us after the Moscow final as he had now won everything with United and wanted a fresh new challenge, at his dream club Real Madrid
- However, he admits he handled things badly last summer while trying to force a move
- However he believes we still love him as much as he loves us, and that he has done enough for the team to deserve our affections
- He admits, although he doesn't apologise, that getting Rooney sent off at the World Cup was wrong, but that his relationship with Wayne did not suffer after that.
- He believes Rooney will be a World Player of the Year soon, as he is top quality - "In training, he can volley a ball from 30 yards away and miss your head by one inch every time."It might not sound a big thing but that is how accurate he is all the time."
- Giggs, Scholes and Fergie are natural born winners, always hungry for more success, never satisfied
- He truly respects and even loves Fergie - "I have said many times that it is the relationship a son has with a father."
- Also he says he would never come back to England and play for any other team than United
Something along those lines would have been welcome anytime from last summer onwards, but I guess better late than never.
