Ronaldo wants Manchester United to 'lose every single game'
Published: 2013 March 10 15:52:00 (5974 Views)
Ronaldo has hit back at jibes from Sir Alex Ferguson surrounding his weight by declaring: ‘I hope his team lose every single game they play.’
The former World Player of the Year was labelled ‘fat’ by the Manchester United manager before his side’s 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid on Tuesday night.
Ferguson compared him to former United player Cristiano Ronaldo – in a less than favourable way.
But the ex-Brazilian international was quick to get his own back following Ferguson’s comments and insisted he will be keeping a keen eye on Manchester United’s matches from now on – hoping they lose.
‘I haven’t placed any jinx on them [Manchester United]… but sometimes I lie,’ said Ronaldo.
‘Just kidding. I haven’t placed any jinx. Real Madrid shut his [Sir Alex Ferguson's] mouth for me.
‘But I think it was a lack of respect. A very experienced football professional, honoured with the title of ‘Sir’ in England, spoke such words as a lack of respect to me, I thought this was not polite.
‘I have no more words for this gentleman. I hope his team lose every single game they play.’
Prior to the Champions League showdown between Madrid and United, referencing the previous match between the teams in 2003 when Ronaldo scored a hat-trick, Ferguson had said: ‘The older one, the fatter one, peaked as a centre forward at that time.’
Ronaldo may want to steer clear of the television for the remainder of the season, with Manchester United leading the chasing pack in the Premier League by 12 points.
