Cristiano Ronaldo expects a fiery reception when United
travel to face Charlton on Wednesday night.
At home to Fulham, the Portuguese winger endured a muted sample of
the abuse he can expect from opposing fans this term after
England's World Cup exit.
And Ronaldo is well aware that he will come in for far rougher
rides at away games, starting with United's midweek trip to The
Valley.
He told The Sun: "The away games are going to be more complicated
but I'm staying calm."
Ronaldo has been a target for opposing fans throughout his United
career, and he plans to cope with any increased abuse by simply
concentrating on his football.
"In the home game (against Fulham) everything went well, it was
relaxed, easy," he said.
"But I do know the next game will be a lot more complicated as it's
the first away one. I'll try to put it out of my mind and do my
best."
Team-mate John O'Shea, meanwhile, has backed Ronaldo to use the
terrace taunts as inspiration.
"I think he is up to the test," he said. "I think he will thrive on
it. I have no fears about him whatsoever.
"It has always been the case, some players have been targeted after
certain things. It seems to spur them on. The more they boo him,
the better it will be for us.
"Soon enough, people will realise it will be better to leave him
alone, then, I am sure it will die off."
