As time has gone on, I rate Ronaldo's Utd career below that of Scholes, VDS, Giggs and Rooney.
All of them won all he did with us, contributed massively but didn't feck off to a European rival for their best years. It should also be remembered that when he pissed off to Real, they were worse than us!
I like him as a character, I think he's got a good nature. But he's a Madrid legend, not a United one.
I'd rather see Rooney reminisced over than Ronaldo (if we must reminisce over players who've left the club).
Why is it either or? Ronaldo is a United and Real Madrid legend. He became the worlds best player at United, and was in that time the best player we ever had. And the most important player in the best team we’ve ever had. He was here longer than Cantona, another United legend. The class of 92 are also legends, for different reasons. The Busby babes for different reasons. Charlton, Law, Best, for different reasons.
If anyone, Best is who Ronaldo reminds me of. Both fiercely dedicated, a head above the rest in ability, huge egoes, but both had a bigger love/ghost than United, keeping their years of excellence here limited, and still legendary.
Robson and Scoles where my biggest heroes, but Ronaldo was the boyhood fantasy come true in my own club.
