as a passionate united fan, i couldn't agree with tevez and scholes any more. if ronaldo wants to leave he is more than welcome to. i don't want a player who doesn't want to be there to take the place of another player who is passionate about the club and willing to put it above everything else. let us face it, ronaldo owes it to united and especially sir alex, without his belief and without the united supporters, ronaldo wouldn't be where he is today.
thank you ronaldo for what you have done for united so far but you are more than welcome to leave. you will be always remembered here as one of the greatest players to don a united shirt but...you won't be missed! we will retain the league and will contend for the european cup again and hopefully FA cup too.
i don't want people jumping on my back telling me how spoilt i am for throwing my toys out the pram just because he wants to leave, but this is a question of loyalty and the way he and his agents are going about this is very far from amicable to say the least..
AND THE REDS GO MARCHING ON ON ON!

Give Ronaldo what he wants, says Tevez

Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez has broken ranks by claiming Cristiano Ronaldo should be allowed to join Real Madrid if he wishes.
Ronaldo has been the transfer story of the summer, with the Portugal winger expressing his desire to play for Real, who in turn have made him their number one target.
'I understand Cristiano,' Tevez told AS. 'Every footballer wants to play at Real Madrid. On the other hand, I also think that everyone wants to play for Manchester United, but if what he seeks is something else, I think that should be respected.'
United have been furious with Real's public pursuit of the player, once again reiterating this week that they have no intention of selling their prize asset.
But Old Trafford team-mate Tevez has risked incurring the wrath of Sir Alex Ferguson by claiming the European champions should not stand in Ronaldo's way if he wants to leave.
'The (United) team has great players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, of course,' Tevez added.
'It's clear that he is a very important player for us, but this is a personal decision, which is up to only him.
'I have not talked to him, but when these things happen, neither side feels good.'
Meanwhile, United legend Paul Scholes has warned Cristiano Ronaldo about leaving Manchester United and believes players should be thankful that they are playing for such an illustrious club.
'If players fancy a move and a bit of money, then good luck to them, but when they're at a place like this, I don't think they realise how lucky they are to be playing here,' Scholes said.
'It's always a step down [after United]. There are obviously big clubs in the world, but while certain people think it might be a progression if they move somewhere else, when you leave here I don't think it is.'
