After leading the Red Devils from one victory to another, over the last 3 years, winning games by himself to the delight of the Manchester fans, it pained me to see the complete and utter apathy that exists with regards to Cristiano Ronaldo’s new contract. The more animated of posts, were belittling, with complete disregard for what Cristiano Ronaldo has done for Manchester United. Nitpicking on childish things such as, Cristiano Ronaldo’s fashion sense, indicates that there are quite a few people out there who are seriously uncomfortable with their sexuality, Cristiano Ronaldo has admitted that he is comfortable with his.

Although I cannot say with certainty, what Cristiano Ronaldo’s reasons are for wanting to leave the Premiere League, I wouldn’t be surprised that it had a lot to do with how his name has been dragged through the mud almost daily. After all the great things he has done for both Manchester and English football in general, all that these sheeple can do is regurgitate the same old nonsense. The infamous wink, or the supposed dives, or his love life or fashion sense, give me a break. Cristiano Ronaldo is a 24 year old man who is in the prime of his life, enjoying it and living it to the fullest, and he still manages to make the manager look good, often. His reward seems to be a spit in the face from covetous goons who seem uncomfortable having a foreigner reaping the rewards of their game. Well, Cristiano Ronaldo earned everything he’s got, and even the mighty and magical Sir Alex Ferguson has attested to that.

If I were Cristiano Ronaldo, which I’m not, I would have demanded a buy-out of my contract years ago, because what’s the point giving everything of yourself to a nation that despises you. I wish Cristiano Ronaldo all the best in Spain.

Comments from the Manchester United Heirarchy comes off the heals of the Devils 11th Premier League title on Saturday, and may be an attempt to keep order in the dressing room before next weeks Champions League final agains Barcelona in Rome. As well as being a strategically important statement, David Gill is also sending clear signal to the team that Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed the future of this Manchester Squad, and he does not intend to destroy the world’s best Football Club that Sir Alex Ferguson has worked so hard to build.

But make no mistakes, the value that’s being attributed to Cristiano Ronaldo is based on his current and past performance, but like any professional team, Manchester United will not blink twice at replacing Cristiano if his form slips, see David Beckham. This should be a clear indication to Cristiano Ronaldo that if he wants to realize his dream of playing for Real Madrid, he best look at doing so while he is still in top form, because the opportunity may not be there once Manchester is finishedwith him.
