You don't know if we try or didn't try, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't come.

Just one?
Hence the "by all accounts". I think if fergie was still here he probably would if we approached him but i agree not now for what its worth
Herrera has a big job to do.
LOL, didn’t show up because he knew he wouldn’t win player of the year. And then gets his agent to diss Modric winning it after all those passes he got from the little Croatian over the years.
What's the story here?
He wasn't available for you. Only Juventus and Bayern could realistically sign him
He’ll ramp up the emoting with each one he does score, that’s for damn sure.Just one?
Cristiano's agent, Mendes, has told the Portuguese paper Record that its ridiculous that his boy didn't win the award.

If he doesn’t celebrate he’s an attention-seeking asshole, if he celebrates he’s an ungrateful asshole.
He might aswell go all out and celebrate by taking a shit in the middle of the pitch while flipping off the crowd.

They are not always attention seeking.
See Dennis Law's non celebration against us or Ronaldo's non celebration against Sporting.
I think that criticism is unfair.
He never said that, Blatter did. This is one of those lies that gets repeated so often that it becomes the accepted truth.
oops *slaps wrist*
Blatter said it but, Ronaldo agreed with it.

Batistuta scoring against Fiorentina was the one that stuck in my mind the most. Most players do it nowadays (even if they spent like a year or two in a previous club), but doesn't mean as you say it's attention seeking all the time.
Can't believe he didn't attend it for those reasons. Really shameful if that's the case, hope the journalist invented that part.
Dennis Law not seeking attention I can believe. Cristiano Ronaldo not seeking the spotlight, every opportunity he gets? Pffft... Pull the other one.
Anyway. Dennis Law didn’t celebrate in the way you’d expect someone to not celebrate a goal that causes mixed emotions. He jogged back to the centre circle. No drama. No throwing shapes. No standing still and luxuriating in the glare of the cameras, milking the moment so everyone can swoon over his tortured soul
It’s tiresome bollox and I despise it whenever any footballer tries it on. Welbeck’s obvious enjoyment of getting on the scoresheet whenever he scores against United is far less offensive to me.
Only in the eyes of complete morons. He’s playing for a different team now. Why shouldn’t he be pleased when he scores?
Classless comments from Mendes and Moratta.
Ronaldo not attending the UEFA gala because he didn't win the player of the year award (and despite winning striker and goal of the year) pretty much confirms he won't win the Balon d'Or as journalists who vote on that award will take it into consideration. Another confirmation that his inflated ego is simply out of control and I'm really happy we got rid of him - but maybe he was just unhappy that they didn't rename the competition after him 
And the comments by Mendes and Marotta are just a huge sign of disrespect to a top player like Modric and to Real Madrid as a club.

He'll score several goals against us and will celebrate. No reason to not do so now. We'll lose both matches anyway.
And you'd find some way to say that's a magnificent celebration
.But seriously, I don't get why he wasn't there, beyond the "I didn't win so I don't really care" thing.
Totally agree, I was downright disgusted at the overly cuddly reception he got when he arrived with Real Madrid in a Champions League knock-out game.
Lol @ when he scores at Old Trafford after being welcomed with hugs and kisses and Pogba drops a 2/10 in the return game after being booed to oblivion by the Juve fans.
Also, lol at him coming "home" despite having given Real Madrid his best years and having played there longer than he did at United.
I’d just laugh at it knowing the reaction of the people who’ve been hurt by his success enough to the point of pretending to care about things no one actually cares about - like this award ceremony thing or the constant jabs at how biased I am made by even more biased peopleAnd you'd find some way to say that's a magnificent celebration
Ronaldo’s almost 34 now, I just hope this can keep happening for a couple more years at least.
It will be good to see him at Old Trafford one last time even if with Mou and Allegri on the sidelines it will probably end up being a disappointment
Why will Pogba get booed by Juve fans ?

It was an acrimonious departure.
Don't understand. Care to elaborate ?
Strange that Ronaldo is still immature at his age, not showing up and congratulating his teammate.
Mountains of trophies and accolades, yet his ego is as fragile as a newborn

He really shouldn't be bothered by the latter. He's at a different club and he should celebrate with his club. Whoever takes offense is rather strange.
It’s the least surprising thing he’s ever doneStrange that Ronaldo is still immature at his age, not showing up and congratulating his teammate.

It was really only acrimonious on Juventuz though
As much as I like Pogba, for that amount of money selling him was the right thing to do. He was important but not irreplaceable.
Baffling. He's won everything there is to win sans a World Cup, will go down as one of the absolute greatest players in history and yet he let's his entourage (his sister is on it too now) bash the UEFA decision.Strange that Ronaldo is still immature at his age, not showing up and congratulating his teammate.

It makes him look bad because it's a player that only a month and a half ago was his teammate. A player that by all accounts is a good teammate and had a good relationship with. Moreover it's a player that has never himself won the trophy, so he looks rather mean by this. Mendes really should know better and manage his clients image better. What difference does another UEFA player of the year tropy make to Cristiano.
Ronaldo's unbelievably petty, I don't understand why people even get surprised at his antics. In his head he was head and shoulders above everyone else in that Real side so he's behaving like a child when he didn't get the prize for best player in Europe. It's got nothing to do with how many he's won before.
He's going to go into full blown meltdown if Modric were to scoop next Ballon d'Or and I reckon there's an excellent chance. He won the CL like Ronaldo, was best player at the WC and has now picked up European POTY. Journalist votes are going to sway in his favor imo.
Before anyone starts about how many Ballon d'Ors Messi won when Xavi/Iniesta deserved it more, well back then it was voted by coaches and players.
I have a strong feeling they're both going to be tied at 5-5 for a while.
Let the thorough analysis will be celebrate or not commence. Personally couldn't care less.
He SHOULD celebrate if he scores against United, but he won't.. too PR controlled these days and knows United fans adore him/buy his merch so wouldn't risk alienating the cash cow.. and he can always use us say in January if he is unhappy in Juventus, to get a move elsewhere.
It's going to be nauseating the build up dominated by that TWA.. we've been there done that.
Our fans need to put the team first.. I mean bloody hell the Stretford End even booed David Beckham (one of our own youth products no less!) when he returned with AC Milan !!!
Let's get stuck into C.Ronaldo this time.. the fans, the players etc.

What a guy, his sister and manager are downplaying Modric's achievements on social media and saying how he deserved it more. Is he really that obsessed, he can't have his friend and teammate who was big part and big reason of his success once get it?
He fears for the Ballon d'Or. Modric could snatch that up too, thats why
Ronaldo is a bad loser, that's part of why he's so fecking good.
Would be funny if he won the Ballon d'or and no one shows up to congratulate him.

The Beckham booing was fans just playing. It wasn't serious. He got a hero reception.
He is prick. And i still I can't believe that old trafford gave him standing ovations when he came here with real. And will give him again this year. " Modern slave" he said. I want to leave he said. We boo tevez who wanted to stay and was forced to go ( ok, he chose city but still we did part in that decision) and at the same time we sing songs to ronaldo who did everything to leave from us. Yes, that is logical.
