Sir Alex Ferguson fears he will lose his annual bet with
Cristiano Ronaldo and admits he might have to change the terms to
keep hold of his money.
The United boss has set Ronaldo a goals target in each of the last
two seasons and put a wager on him reaching.
Twice now Sir Alex has won the bet. But the 21-year-old winger
now on 12 for the season - needs just three more goals to reach his
15-goal target.
Ronaldo was in sensational form again as he inspired the Reds to a
3-2 win over Reading at Old Trafford, scoring his sixth goal in
three games over the Christmas period.
I think Im going to lose my money, Sir Alex told MUTV. But,
its a Scottish bet, so if he does get to 15 then Ill change it.
Im allowed to do that because Im the manager!
Im pleased for him because he works hard at his game. Hes still
learning the game. His ability to pass the ball has helped him this
season. His passing has been very good.
That just shows he is maturing. Hes been fantastic, and hes
getting better all the time.
