LONDON - No wonder Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson insists Cristiano Ronaldo would be wrong to play for Real Madrid. The Portuguese star probably would be overshadowed by Lionel Messi.
Ferguson actually believes Ronaldo is at the best club anyway. But the fact that the winger would be compared week by week in the same league as Messi most likely would hurt his chances of proving himself the world’s best player.
Ronaldo relies more on his speed and is better in the air. Messi has the edge in dribbling in tight situations. He draws defenders toward him and out of position, then leaves them trailing with short bursts of fancy footwork, either scoring himself or setting up others.

My prediction would be that Messi would overshadow Ronaldo in La Liga. La Liga is very different to EPL.
As Xavi said, in the EPL they give u alot of space to run and thats why Ronaldo is so good. He said that if Ronaldo comes to the EPL he wont have any space, cos defenders close u down very quickly.
What rubbish. Are you seriously suggesting that Fergy doesn't want Ronaldo to go cos Fergy is scared Ronaldo will be overshadowed? ROFLMAO. That's desperate to say the least.
If Ronaldo comes to the EPL? I assume you mean SPL. Yeah that makes perfect sense - RM want Ronaldo cos he won't be able to perform![]()
Dont u believe it when Fergie says, that if Ronaldo leaves for Spain it will be the worst choice he can make in his career? Fergie knows, if Ronaldo goes - he will fail.
LoL - In United fans books - Fergie is NEVER EVER wrong. So its my understanding that you are saying he is wrong this time?
Whenever it suits you hey
He even said that when he was on tour here in SA.
I was just stating what Xavi and other experts have said. They said that he wont have the space, i kinda believe them over you![]()
I don't think United want to keep him because they worried about him failing.
United don't want to be known as a club who sell players like ronaldo.
We don't know for sure what the outcome will be once he leaves for Madrid. This is all stupid speculation. I don't care what Fergy says. I use my own intuition and prefer to not get fed and brainwashed by nonsense and rubbish on the internet.
Its not the internet dude. I saw the interview it was on Mnet and freakin SABC 3. He said those words that it will be a career ending decision if he leaves for Madrid.
What ill take out of this is, Fergie isnt always right then![]()

Don't talk nonsense to me plz. This was a direct copy/paste jobby from the internet. Go read what you pasted there.
You must've heard SABC3 real quick, memorised all their words and typed this up so quick. Wow, you're amazing
Lol, you can even see the quote saying Email printable. Geez, you're a big liar.
