Cristiano Ronaldo has called a truce in his feud with Jose
Mourinho and wished his fellow countryman all the best for the
future.
The pair became embroiled in a major row at the end of last season,
which ended with the former Chelsea boss claiming Manchester United
star Ronaldo 'lacked class'.
His attack brought a stinging response from Sir Alex Ferguson, who
felt compelled to stand up for his star man, marking the low point
in what was generally a cordial relationship between the Scot and
former Chelsea boss Mourinho.
However, Ronaldo has shown he bears no grudge towards Mourinho and
feels the loss of the Portuguese coach will leave a hole in the
Premier League.
'English football will miss Jose Mourinho,' said Ronaldo.
'He is a great manager.
'He won a lot of things in England and the titles speak for
themselves.
'Maybe he wants a new experience but I wish him all the
best.'
Ronaldo did not say whether he felt Mourinho's exit would have an
adverse effect on Chelsea's title challenge this term.
However, with just two points from their last four games heading
into this weekend, Avram Grant has a major job on his hands to
rekindle hopes of a third championship in four seasons for the
Stamford Bridge outfit.
Whether Grant achieves his aim or not, Ronaldo is convinced United
are destined for at least one major honour this season despite
their own slow start.
