Ronaldo Misses Manchester

Cristiano Ronaldo misses the Manchester United fans, the food, and even the weather! He also claims that the Premier League is the best in the world, and that he would only ever play for United in England.

"Yes, there are things I miss about England. The weather, of course. And the food... England is far more difficult than Spain. The players are far tougher and just want to kick you. And the referees refuse to protect the big players. But there are exceptions.

"I loved playing against Ashley Cole. Yes, he's tough as well but he knows how to play the game. Some of my best memories are battles with him for Chelsea and England. But it's still a fantastic league, for me the best in the world. And United fans shouldn't worry too much about the team. Yes, they lost to Liverpool but they are still a good side and have good players to come back."

"The fans are totally different here to England. There is far more pressure than in Manchester and the Bernabeu crowd is particularly tough. Yes, it's a bad moment but every team has these. No side in the world can be at the top all the time, it's impossible, but maybe here they don't accept that. Madrid have to win every game and the people just won't accept defeat."

"As for Manchester City, I can't ever see them being as big as United. United have all the tradition and you cannot make history in two or three years irrespective of how much money you have. City simply cannot buy what United have. I don't know if they tried to get me but I wouldn't play for any other English club but United. Anyway, I am very happy in Madrid, this is my dream club."
