The manager has had enough of his star’s petulance on the pitch, which has cost United dearly against both Villa and Porto, and is finally letting him know. Said Ferguson:
“It’s just a frustration that he feels that he doesn’t get the decision and he gets upset about it. I think obviously he doesn’t enjoy that and he knows he’s letting himself down more than anything.
“He holds his hands up, I have had to remind him about that but I’m not getting into what has been said.”
While the British press are preoccupied with the Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid transfer saga, our Spanish friends seem to believe Los Blancos have eyes for only one man: Kaka.
According to the front page of Marca, the Brazilian has already been promised the number five shirt by likely Madrid president Florentino Perez. The squad number should be available, as Fabio Cannavaro is likely to depart in the summer.
Before Cannavaro, Madrid’s number five was worn by Zinedine Zidane. Therefore, if Kaka arrives in the summer, he will be the third consecutive Ballon D’or and FIFA World Player of the Year winner to wear the number.
Freakishly fast Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is scheduled to train Cristiano Ronaldo in the art of running like your legs are on fire (which, judging by the picture above, Cristiano already knows something about) in May, but he’s already got his lesson plan all figured out. Says Mr. Bolt:
“The first thing I’m going to tell him: stop acting like a wuss.”
Genius! Mr. Bolt, has anyone ever told you that you might have a future as the greatest football manager of the modern era? If only Sir Alex would do that.
“Seriously, because the fact why his game is kind of down right now is because these guys are picking on him because he’s so soft. No one in football will try it with Rooney. Ronaldo’s got to be a little like Rooney, he’s got to be aggressive, then these guys will stop picking on him. If Ronaldo’s aggressive back to these guys, and gets a few red cards, people will stop picking on him.”
Yes. I’m sure Manchester United will agree that the only thing better than having one of their superstars suspended is having both of them suspended.

The policeman has taken exception to the Manchester Utd star, ordering him to “stay her from her and keep your hands off”. Additionally, he has told his daughter that he does not trust C-Ron, and has advised her to end the relationship.
If the thought of his daughter dating the world’s greatest lover is unsettling, then Lord only knows how Jadson feels about the offer made by the Brazilian edition of Playboy. Gabriela has been offered €200,000 to appear naked in the magazine, but she she would risk losing both her dignity and her father. “It would give him a heart attack knowing his daughter had posed nude in a magazine,” said Gabriela’s mother.
