CRISTIANO, THE RED DEVILS AND LIFE THEREAFTER



Just look at the picture above.... that's what Manchester United is all about.A superb red winning machine which has been in the past one year in one word... unstoppable...The Barclay's Premier League and the Champion's League firmly in it's kitty...the current squad looks every bit capable of regaining the magic double once again....but then one issue pops up CRISTIANO RONALDO.....Do you spot him in the picture above.Yes, he is there but not as an individual...but as a part of the entire Red Devil's squad.

I do not get what the brouhaha is all about??? Why is everybody at United going crazy over this Portuguese superstar??? Well, yeah! he was unstoppable last season...yeah! his free kicks were amazing and yeah! his accent is likable but he is a human being after all. Demi gods like David Beckham have been tempted away to Real Madrid...so why are we baying for his blood if he decides to quit Manchester United. Being a hardcore United fan myself, I can understand what the fans feel.But why all this talk about modern slavery and banishing him to the reserves??? He is after all a man of flesh and blood and the desire to play in a Spanish club tempts some of the world's best players.We should not grudge him his wish.It is his choice after all.Let us be the great Manchester United fans that we are and applaud him as the West Ham fans applauded Tevez and as we applauded Van Nistelrooy.Let us not in our moments of selfishness forget what contributions Cristiano has made to our club's great history.All said and done we do not even know whether he will be going to Real after all.Let us wish him a speedy recovery.

If Ronaldo does go, Manchester United will be short on ammo yes...but never on talent.Nani can be groomed to take up Ronaldo's role and with patience and hard training Fergusson might have a good team on his hands.With no new signings this season and with Giggs and Scholes retiring next season...we will have to replenish our bench strength and delve into the youth academy...after all we are the champions and once Rooney and Tevez find form,their partnership can be lethal.

Let us look forward to a season of triumph,a season of romance with English football and it's favourite child MANCHESTER UNITED. VIVA MANCHESTER......
