C-Ron may feel a little too comfortable in that all-white strip
Manchester Utd were so anonymous last night that even Cristiano Ronaldo had trouble picking out his teammates - either that, or he thought those constant 40-yard potshots were a good idea. Following his one man show, the Portuguese star has been quick to lambast his manager’s tactics:
“We didn’t do well. The tactics were not good and everything went wrong for us. We were only in it for 10 minutes and we never found ourselves again.”
Granted, Fergie’s tactics are open to scrutiny (why didn’t Scholes come on earlier? What the Dickens was going on in the midfield?), but such comments are surely designed to bring the tricky winger closer to the Old Trafford exit. When asked of his future plans, Ronaldo ominously said: “I don’t know.”
So, will C-Ron finally make the move to Real Madrid that he so desperately tried to execute last summer, or will he have an epiphany and realise that Manchester Utd are a much better team? Let us know your thoughts below…

One minute I love this player and think that no one can top him in the world. The next he’s the biggest baby to walk onto the pitch, and thinks that he’s God’s gift to Earth. He will use this loss, which they deserved, as a crutch and expect a move away from Manchester.
I saw fuck it, the saga isn’t worth it, and enjoy the fall back of your career to play for a power that once existed in world football. Adios.

As much as I hate to say it, I agree with Ronaldo..
He was the only ManU player who genuinely threatened to bring them back into it, all it would have taken was one “potshot” (much like against Porto, was that also a bad idea?) to be on target, which let’s face it, they were not all that far off..
C-Ron’s two footed lunge on Puyol also showed that he had tracked all the way back to his byline to help defensively, surely a rare feat?
As much as I cannot stand the guy, and as much as I am happy for the Barca win, until the second goal it was Ronaldo (and only Ronaldo) who could have brought ManU back into the game.

Robben has been playing the same way throughout Madrid’s season. Occasionally taking longs shots, trying to dribble past entire defenses (and often succeeding, by the way) but rarely looking for a team mate in a good position.
And Robben’s chances at staying next year are 50/50 I’d say. Lots of fans hate the guy.
So, after seeing Ronaldo’s performance in the final, why would Madrid look to replace one selfish prick with another? Whilst blowing at least 2 times the amount of money they blew on the first one?
It just seems ridiculous.
At the same time, Madrid (cough Perez) have been known to sign players primarily due to the number of kits they would sell, and a Madrid jersey with Ronaldo’s name on it would sell very well.

Ronaldo finally has United where he wants them. He’s a gonner. Question is how United will replace him.

Ronaldo would stay with united next season. i disagree with him for moving to real madrid. i know he is so much upset and angry about their loss but you know manchester united is much better team than madrid and real madrid now have interests on ricardo kaka and franck ribery so i think ronaldo has to stay at united next season and wait until next summer. ronaldo means a lot to manchester than anybody else. i think man utd win lots of trophies and real madrid havent won any such as hammered by barcelona and liverpool so why would he live? i urge him to stay at old trafford another season and wait to see if they can win champions league, premier league, fa cup and carling cup and then shall see from there but till now he has to realise he is still united player and white jockey wont suit him best than red or blue. he will stay with united and if he goes, he is mad player and wont be good as he has done at united.
