Could C-Ron’s dream move end up being a nightmare?

“After Manchester United it is downhill.” Those are the words that David Gill last month claimed to have heard roll from the tongues of many former Old Trafford employees (although presumably not Gerard Pique!).

The example of David Beckham has been used to comfort Manchester United fans as they come to terms with Cristiano Ronaldo’s imminent departure. With the Red Devils he won six titles, two FA Cups and the Champions League but since leaving for Real Madrid in 2003, he’s claimed just one significant trophy - La Liga in his final season in Spain.*

C-Ron has finally been granted his dream move but will he continue to win trophies and Ballon d’Ors or will it turn into a Beckham-esque nightmare? Let us know what you think with a vote and a comment.

*It shouldn’t be forgotten though that United also endured a barren spell after Beckham’s exit, going three years without winning the Premier League or reaching the last eight of the Champions League.
