FAN MAN ... Cristiano Ronaldo
The Portuguese winger moved from Old Trafford to Real
Madrid this summer in an world record £80million deal. But despite
that switch fulfilling a boyhood dream, Ronaldo still harbours
affection for his old club.
He said: ""Every time I can, I try to watch United's
games on television. "I still like to know what's happening at Old
Trafford. And despite now being at Real, I'm always happy when I
know when United have won."
Ronaldo has wasted no time getting into the groove with
his new team, becoming the
first Real Madrid player to score in his first four league
games for the club.
But while his skills may no longer be on show in the
Premier League, the 24-year-old believes one man can step up to
replace him.
He added: "I've also seen that Nani is playing much
more than he was last season when I was there. That's good for him
and he will benefit from that.
"Now he has more opportunities to play, he will be able
to show the fans just how great a player he is. "We still speak
regularly on the phone. And it's good to see United's fans are
starting to appreciate him more and have been happy with his form
up until now.
"Nani is an excellent player. There's a lot more to
come from him and I'm sure that in a few years he will be amongst
the best players in the world."
