Sir Alex Ferguson has paid tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo after his £80m move to Real Madrid was finally completed.
No hard feelings, no sour grapes – just praise for a young man who did so much for the club.
"Everyone here wishes him well in his future career," Sir Alex told the club's website.
A statement on Real's website regarding
Ronaldo read: "The player will be tied to Real Madrid for the next six seasons. He will be presented on July 6 at the Santiago Bernabeu."
Ferguson added: “Cristiano has been a marvellous player for
Manchester United.
"His six years at Old Trafford have seen him develop into the best footballer in the world.
"His contribution has been a major factor in the club's success in that time and his talent, his ability to entertain and his infectious personality have enthralled fans the world over."
Fergie has already invested some of the £80m in
Antonio Valencia, and you can bet your bottom dollar he won’t be the last arrival at Old Trafford this summer.
