Can United fans actually hate ronaldo or is it the way he left in their point of view?
You'd be surprised. It's only a few in this board; but they are the most vocal.

He's technically excellent
So, showing respect, but telling us he thinks he'll stuff us.
Would give Ronaldo a reminder that no player is bigger than Manchester United.
It would be good to see our number 7 score since he used to have that shirt number and he still does.
Why does he need a reminder?
Let's just try and win so as to stay in the competition, and leave the smalltime stuff to the dippers.
Picked up an injury tonight, didn't he?
Is it Valencia he does there?
I think he's carrying an injury and it looked like he either aggravated it or picked up a knock tonight.
Ronaldo or Valencia?

His goal tonight for Portugal.
I hope he'll be out, I honestly don't care about the sentiment of him playing vs his former club.Whatever increases United's chances to beat Real Madrid works for me

He has dismissed concerns regarding his ankle problems. So now you can hope we just try and do everything to contain him.
I hope we kick his fecking ankle in the first minute and he hobbles off and misses both legs. But that would mean starting Scholes...

Gareth Bale is a better player than Cristiano Ronaldo, says Jeff Stelling
If I was Spurs chairman Daniel Levy I'd be a worried man now because Gareth Bale is playing too well, for both club and country.
We already know that Bale is held in high regard by some of Europe's biggest clubs and recent stellar displays have put him firmly back in the shop window.
His goal in Wales' 2-1 friendly victory over Austria was his 17th in all competitions this season and came swiftly after those two superb strikes in the Premier League, against Norwich and West Brom.
I just worry, from Spurs' point of view, that an offer might come along in the summer that they can't refuse.
I heard Jamie Redknapp say on Super Sunday that Bale is 'absolutely world class', that he's 'as good as Ronaldo'.
I don't often disagree with Jamie, but I think it's got to the stage where you can say that Bale is better than Ronaldo because he's simply unplayable.
That's not to denigrate Ronaldo, who has got all the tricks and dynamite in his boots - but so has Bale.
What Bale's got that Ronaldo hasn't is incredible strength and power; Ronaldo is quick but when Bale gets up a head of steam, there's no stopping him.
I'd love to know who the fastest player in the Premier League is if it's not Bale. He's adaptable, too - he can play wide or down the middle. If you want him to do a job defensively, he can do that as well.
Wales fans won't thank me for saying it but it's such a shame that we are unlikely to ever see him play in a major tournament.
It's the 'George Best syndrome' all over again: Bale is one of the best players in the world and as much as I'd love to see him at a World Cup, despite his best efforts, it's not going to happen.
I was in Portugal this week and I saw Ronaldo score against Ecuador and it was a fine goal, but I'm hard pushed to think of another player in Europe (aside from Lionel Messi) who gives you the all-round quality that Bale gives Spurs.
He's the reason why Spurs are where they are now - fourth in the Premier League - and he's the one who could drive them on to a Champions League place, which is the minimum Spurs will need to keep him.
I hope he misses both games.
