Cristiano Ronaldo has welcomed Sir Alex's comments on the
strength of United's squad.
In his United Review programme notes for Blackburn's visit to Old
Trafford, the United boss said he believed the current crop of
players could be his best yet.
"It's always good to hear praise from our manager, who, over the
years, has coached several United teams," Ronaldo said. "If he says
that then it's good for us, especially the new players. It's very
positive."
Ronaldo's form has been central to United's unbeaten streak in the
league, which now stretches back to mid-August. Indeed, the
Portugal international has found the net 10 times already this
season. And yet, some critics claim he's failed to ignite matches
in the way he so often did during the 2006/07 campaign.
That kind of criticism doesn't bother Ronaldo. He insists he's
playing well and only wants to continue his good form.
"I have scored some goals and played well," he said. "I always work
to be the best, with the aim of improving every year on the weaker
parts of my game. Ive been in good form and now Ive got to make
sure I maintain this consistency."
