I won’t celebrate if I score against Man Utd - Ronaldo.
After the Champions League draw paired Spanish Champions
Real Madrid and Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo has vowed not to celebrate
in case he scores against his former Club.
"I won't celebrate if I
score," Ronaldo, who spent six years with the Reds, told AS newspaper.
"It is thanks to Manchester
United that I play for Real Madrid. Without them, I wouldn't be the player I am
today."
The 27-year old is set to make his
first visit to Old Trafford where he spent over six years before his big money
move to Spain in the summer of 2009.
In his six years at the premier
League club, Ronaldo won three Premier League titles, the Champions League, the
FA Cup and two League Cups.
"I still speak with United
manager Sir Alex Ferguson. I miss him a lot, and I miss Manchester
United," added Ronaldo.
"I felt very good there, it was
like a family. I had six great years there and am still friends with my
team-mates."
United boss Sir Alex reckons the
Portuguese ply maker will receive a warm welcome.
"He will get a great reception
when he comes onto the pitch at Old Trafford, quite rightly," said
Ferguson "After that they [the supporters] can boo him as much as they
like.
"We are proud of the part we
played in his career. We did very well to get six years out of a boy when he
came to us at the age of 17."
"He always had a hankering
to go to Real Madrid at some point in his career. It wasn't disloyalty. I got
another year out of him when he wanted go the previous year.
"My way of looking at it was
that we were lucky to have him for six years. The United fans would share
that."
