A lot of players at Manchester United tend to go two ways when leaving Old Trafford. They either do not make it at the club and get sold to a club for whom a former United player now manages, or they feel that to be right at the top they need to join Spanish club Real Madrid. Most that head in the direction of Madrid are normally wrong, in a four year period a Real Madrid player may end up with one or two trophies, five or six managers, and a good six months warming the bench.
Such is the fluctuation of business at Real Madrid these days that one could really see Cristiano Ronaldo returning to Old Trafford for another bite of the apple. The former United winger started well over there, but soon got injured and is now on the wrong end of some poor form. The Spanish fans are far less forgiving than us British, suffer poor form, play badly for a few weeks and they forget who you are. It’s happened with Kaka, Ronaldo (The Brazilian), Van Nistelrooy and probably many others.
In fact the only players that the fans ever remained truly loyal to were that of Raul and Roberto Carlos, anyone else was just part and parcel of the same game that you would never get at Manchester United. Cristiano Ronaldo is still young at 25, his best form possibly yet to come but he needs to be at a club that can offer stability and not a club which will offload you as soon as the next footballing star from Brazil is spotted on a beach in Rio.
Manchester United has everything a top class footballer needs, Ronaldo will not be enjoying the press taking part in every training session and he certainly won’t be enjoying the white flags every time Real Madrid drop two or three points. The grass is not always greener on the other side but we can say this, the grass is definitely greener at Old Trafford than it is at the Bernabeu.
