Man Utd's Ronaldo refusing to take Fergie calls.
sportinglife/fooball.com - June 08, 2008
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is struggling to make
contact with Cristiano Ronaldo.
The News of the World says Fergie is desperate to speak to him in a
bid to convince him to stay in England. But the longer Ronaldo
blanks his boss, the less chance Ferguson has of changing his
mind.
A source close to the United manager said: "Alex has been on the
phone almost non-stop from France where he's on holiday because he
HAS to speak to Ronaldo.
"But he can't get him to the phone. He's left message after message
but Ronaldo point- blank refuses to speak to him.
"There is a complete breakdown in the relationship now. Fergie is
angry that his calls are not getting through and Ronaldo is furious
that the Glazers said he could rot in the stands if he decides to
go to Madrid.
"The club will do everything in their power to keep Ronaldo but it
seems like Fergie is facing a losing battle at the moment."
Ronaldo's agent, Jorge Mendes, is also reported to be blanking
furious United chief executive David Gill.
