Proof Real Madrid baited Ron
THIS is the sensational moment a senior Real Madrid official met Cristiano Ronaldo — 22 weeks ago in Rome.

Our exclusive picture shows the Manchester United ace with Real’s fitness coach Walter Di Salvo, who quit Old Trafford for Spain.

Madrid president Ramon Calderon only yesterday insisted there is NO evidence his club have tried to lure winger Ronaldo from United.

But that looks inconceivable thanks to our dramatic picture, which we will give to United as they urge FIFA to take action against Real. Continue

Ronaldo redeemed after Drogba's Moscow madness earns a red card

Cristiano Ronaldo leads Man Utd stroll
It was a traditional final day at Old Trafford. A thumping Manchester United win, another Premier League title almost in the bag and a lap of honour by the players after Sir Alex Ferguson had taken the pitch microphone to thank the media for all their fantastic efforts this season. OK, OK, it was not the media but the medical staff, the coaching staff, the supporters and anyone else who has contri-buted to what looks like being another successful campaign. More


Cristiano Ronaldo has a new girl
24-year old model Nereida Gallardo This is the beauty who has captured the heart of footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Manchester United star is besotted with sultry 24-year-old model Nereida.

Cristiano Ronaldo proves he has a head for European heights in brave display
Never does it in the big matches, does he? Never does it when the pressure is on against the best teams. Never scores the ones that matter.

So, how to explain this and satisfy those who still doubt? Noted small-game player Cristiano Ronaldo set Manchester United on the way to an entirely meaningless Champions League semi-final with a not-at-all brave header against the completely useless second-best team in Italy in the benign atmosphere of the dilapidated cowshed that is the Olympic Stadium. There, that should please them. More


Cristiano Ronaldo set to usurp Denis Law
Denis Law once tipped Wayne Rooney to claim all his Manchester United goalscoring records. But if United go all the way in the Champions League, as well as retaining their Premier League title, Cristiano Ronaldo could be the man to break the record that looked the most likely to remain forever in Law's possession - his feat of scoring 46 goals in a season.

Even a goal machine like Ruud van Nistelrooy could not eclipse that, though he was only two short of equalling the feat in 2002-2003. But Ronaldo is a man of such magic, and in such irresistible form, that if someone suggests it is an impossible target it will merely fuel his ambition to depose the 'King', as Law was known. And Ronaldo is no Don Quixote. Continue


James Lawton: Ronaldo must beat the best before he can be put in the same league as Best
The word on Cristiano Ronaldo is becoming implacable. He is better than Denis Law and Sir Bobby Charlton and closing fast on George Best, says another Old Trafford legend, Pat Crerand.

It's all very well, but wouldn't it be better and certainly more rational to await the odd epic performance in something like a big game against the best opposition in Europe? Or maybe a World Cup final? More


Ronaldo double gives United title edge

Cristiano Ronaldo puts Man Utd back on top
There was frenzy in Ronaldo's celebrations, a venting of frustration at missed chances and welling bruises.

Ronaldo at Arsenal before Man Utd
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has said he was "very close" to signing Cristiano Ronaldo before he joined Manchester United in August 2003.

Is Cristiano Ronaldo the best player in the world?
“Cristiano Ronaldo is not only the best player in the world…but probably the single most gifted player to play in England since the Belfast Boy….What a *so and so* player. I am in awe…”

So wrote the curiously named Pimpy the Magic Elf on the RedCafe message board after Cristiano Ronaldo scored three of Manchester United’s six goals in Saturday’s second half demolition of Newcastle.

So just how good is Ronaldo? On current form, he must surely be the world’s best. Continue


Newcastle fall apart as ruthless Ronaldo leads rout at Old Trafford

Arsenal 2-2 Manchester United

Ronaldo: I Didn’t Say That Roma Players ‘Begged For Mercy’
Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has denied ever saying that Roma players begged him for mercy during last season’s meeting in the Champions League.

In the build-up to Tuesday’s re-match between Man Utd and Roma, the press printed extracts from Ronaldo’s book, which supposedly said that some Roma players pleaded with the winger not to “do any more dribbles”.

However Ronaldo has rubbished these reports and says that everything has been misinterpreted.

“Read my book and you will see on page 112 exactly what happened,” he stressed. Read Story

Cristiano Ronaldo makes Birmingham pay
As happened so frequently in last year's title victory, when United struggled, Ronaldo bailed them out. With nine minutes gone in the second half, Franck Queudrue stalled in possession on the edge of the box and Ronaldo was onto him with lupine fervour. Cutting across Liam Ridgewell and the goalkeeper, Maik Taylor, with astonishing acceleration, Ronaldo chipped left-footed into the empty net. It was conducted with the ruthless precision and speed of a professional assassin. Continue


Ronaldo is the new Beckham
RETURNING TO ENGLAND AS public enemy No 1 after last summer’s World Cup finals, Cristiano Ronaldo was followed at every turn by two security guards, such were the fears for his safety. He had similar attention throughout Manchester United’s preseason tour to Asia, but this time his would-be assailants were awestruck youths, male or female, all desperate to get up close and personal with football’s latest global icon. Continue
