To be fair this Ronaldo story doesn't seem to go away, summer by summer it's still there in the same way as Hunterlaar or Torres to United was there for years but doesn't mean it will happen, or soon.

Anyone see the hour long interview with Ferguson and Sir David Frost on Sky? Ferguson said he wouldn't be going and they would sit him in the stands in they need to. Players need to be taught a lesson that they can't kick up a stink and make their contract worthless, he is on a 4 year one i think.

All this happened as well after he was scared to come back after the world cup but it didn't and he stayed but no player is above United, if we can survive after Beckham, Keane, Robson, Kanchelskis, Cantona etc leaving them i'm sure we can after Ronaldo too. I'd prefer him to stay however as no one said he would repeat that season performance and win the awards again but he has bettered it. He scored against every team but Man city.

Another point of the interview, Frost asked him something like "are you pleased with how thing have gone with the (double) Glaziers considering how things have gone at Liverpool with American owners?" Ferguson replies, "yes and long may it continue" with a big grin on his face. Classic.
