2013-03-14T07:06:00.000-07:00

With the two topping the La Liga scoring charts, January 2013 has proven once more that they have the consistency and longevity to keep up their astonishing scoring rates like no other in Europe's top leagues.

It is not just in scoring goals, though, that they are expected to contribute.

Here is a complete rundown of how Messi vs. Ronaldo has shaped up in the first month of this year.

LYON VS REAL MADRID 1-1

2011-02-24T06:19:00.001-08:00

Real Madrid overcame some of their demons when they took home a draw from their first Champions League knockout game against Lyon. Having crashed out at the same stage to the same team last year, Real were worried, but played without fear, and now have a great chance of qualifying.
The game started slowly, with neither team willing to make a mistake and give their opponents an advantage. Consequently, Lyon played with nine men behind the ball, hassling and harrying whenever Madrid got into thier half with the ball, and ensuring there was no space for the likes of Ronaldo and Benzema to play in.
The first half came to a close with a Lyon charge led by Bastos and Gomis, but Carvalho and Pepe brought it to a quick halt.
An energized Madrid took the pitch for the restart and in no time wreaked havoc on the Lyon defence. Cristiano Ronaldo hit the left post with a free-kick and one minute later Ramos’ header following a corner kick taken by Ozil struck the top of the crossbar.
Around the hour mark, Benzema was thrown on for Adebayor. The Frenchman stole the ball on the left flank and passed to Ozil, who then found Cristiano. The Portuguese international pass the ball into the path of Benzema, who held off Reveillere and poked the ball through the keeper’s legs and into the back of the net.
Both teams made changes following the goal. Lass replaced Khedira and Marcelo stepped in for Ozil, while Pjanic came on for Lyon, who had a hand in the Lyon equaliser. The Bosnian curled in a free-kick, the ball struck off Cris’ head and Gomis fired the deflection into the net.

GUTI will leave Real Madrid

2010-04-27T21:06:00.000-07:00

Raul beated GUTI

MADRID - Real Madrid's veteran midfielder Jose Maria Gutierrez, better known by the name "Guti", will be leaving the club at the end of this season to his career in Dubai, according to Onda Cero radio reported Tuesday. "Guti has signed a release from Real Madrid and would go to Dubai for two seasons with the price of five million euros a season," iu the radio station said without naming its source.

Gonzalo Higuain, Cristiano Ronaldo reignite Real Madrid's title hopes

2010-04-26T01:39:00.000-07:00

Real Madrid made the most of Barcelona's slip-up to close to within one point of the La Liga leaders on Sunday with a 2-0 win over third-placed Valencia at the Bernabeu.
Real's title challenge appeared to be disappearing when they lost 2-0 to Barca last weekend but the champions'' 0-0 draw at Espanyol on Saturday left the door ajar and Real grabbed the opportunity.
Gonzalo Higuain opened the scoring in the first half but it needed a second from Cristiano Ronaldo in the 77th minute to make sure of the win, as Valencia belatedly threatened to get back into the game.

Real have 83 points with five left to play, one behind Barca, and proved that the 24-point gulf in class with third-placed Valencia was, perhaps, justified.
"Barca are still top but we are now just one slip-up away," Real director general Jorge Valdano told Spanish television.
Valencia's timid start played into Real's hands and it came as no surprise when Argentina's Higuain spun past his marker to net his 25th of the campaign after 25 minutes.
The hosts should have made more of their dominance, but a flying save from Iker Casillas and Juan Mata''s follow up against the post reminded Real of the slenderness of their lead.
Ronaldo's driving runs and Guti's passes continued to give Real the edge but a hushed Bernabeu reflected a growing nervousness.
Valencia's David Silva had been anonymous until he crashed a 25-metre drive against the crossbar midway through the second half and Portugal''s Ronaldo settled the match firing in after good work down the left from Marcelo.
Not good, spectacular
Valencia have 59 points, five ahead of Sevilla who occupy the last Champions League qualification slot following their 3-0 win over Sporting Gijon on Saturday.
Real Mallorca, in fifth place, could move above them with a win at home to Osasuna in the Monday match.
Athletic Bilbao were held to a scrappy 0-0 draw at home by struggling Real Zaragoza which left them seventh on 49 points below sixth-placed Villarreal because of their inferior head-to-head record. Villarreal beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 on Saturday.
There was no change at the foot of the standings in the battle to avoid relegation.
Only 18th-placed Tenerife managed a victory with a hat-trick from striker Nino earning the islanders a 3-2 victory against visiting Getafe.
"Nino's not good, he's spectacular," Tenerife coach Jose Luis Oltra told reporters, of his forward who has netted 13 this season. "He's one of the best Spanish goalscorers around, especially as he does it with a team low down in the table."
Tenerife closed to within a point of 17th place and safety after Malaga were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Real Valladolid.
Malaga have 33 points, Tenerife 32, Valladolid 29 and Xerez 27, the basement club coming back to draw 2-2 at home to Racing Santander with a late header from Victor Sanchez.

VIDEO: WHY Cristiano Ronaldo blames Gonzalo Higuain for Real Madrid’s Champions League exit

2010-03-13T21:34:00.001-08:00

The fallout from Real Madrid’s Champions League exit to Lyon continues

Whilst the future of Manuel Pellegrini has been focusing minds in the English press - Jose Mourinho, Rafa Benitez and Arsene Wenger have all been linked with the Bernabeu hotseat. The Spanish media have questioned the role of some of the “Galacticos” including Kaka and Argentinean striker Gonzalo Higuain.

Influential newspaper Marca has devoted its front page today (see bottom right) to the dispute between Cristiano Ronaldo and Gonzalo Higuain. CR9, no stranger to a bit of individualism himself, has shifted the blame on to the Argentinean striker.

The incident in question came just before the half hour on Wednesday night, with Real Madrid 1-0 up, Higuain chose to strike on goal rather than pass to the open Ronaldo. This incident has been replayed over and over again and can be seen from various angles on this video.

The race to be top scorer in the Spanish league (”Pichichi”) has been placed as a reason for this spat between Ronaldo and Higuain. A theme added to by quotes from Guti who said after the game: “We should have been more of a team instead of being individualistic.” A full report on this angle, in Spanish, can be seen here.

This author, for one, finds it incredible that Higuain’s shocking/unlucky miss in the first half hasn’t been the centre of attention. Either way Higuain looks like the fall guy, which if the form of Nicklas Bendtner over the past week is anything to go by, back the former River Plate striker to score a hat-trick at Valladolid on Sunday

Crazy win of REAL MADRID 6-0

2009-12-22T08:36:00.000-08:00

Real Madrid 6 – 0 Real Zaragoza game highlights

Madrid responded to Barcelona becoming world club champions by blowing Zaragoza waway at the Bernabeu . Barcelona’s lead at the top in the Primera Division is now back to two points after madridsweeping aside Real Zaragoza 6-0 with ease on Saturday.

The game was over as a contest inside the opening 34 minutes as Madrid raced into a 4-0 lead through braces from the in-form Gonzalo Higuain and Rafael van der Vaart.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side then added two more goals in the second half through big-money summer signings Cristiano Ronaldo who scored a beauty and Karim Benzemaon his birthday to a record biggest win of the season

CR9 SAID

2009-11-04T19:56:00.001-08:00

"I'm sad about being injured again because I was in good form, but I know that my drive combined with the work of Real Madrid's physiotherapists will help me recover soon."

Opinion OF Fan. Black Magic kill the SExy leg

2009-11-01T21:21:00.000-08:00

Who do you think am I

When Cristiano Ronaldo suffered an injury in the first match after a wizard named Pepe wrote a letter to Real Madrid informing them that he had been hired to cast a spell on Cristiano to cause him to get hurt, the world’s crazies took this as a call to action.

First, Fernando Nogueira, a Portuguese man known as “the wizard of Fafe”, came forward and said he had been hired by close to Ronaldo to counter the black magic spell. Well, Ronaldo is still hurt and Pepe is now threatening to curse him with another injury that will end his career, so the situation looks dire for Ronaldo. Is there no one who can save him from this storm of coincidence and make believe magic?

Damn straight there is — PERUVIAN SHAMANS UNITE!!!!

That’s right, on Monday a group of Peruvian Shamans gathered outside the Spanish embassy in Lima to channel their own powers of delusion into removing the curse on Ronaldo (pictured above). Though the ritual does look a bit more menacing than helpful, what with the sharp metal things and all the wackadoos and the maracas(?), I think there just might be enough insane nonsense going on here to counteract that of Pepe the wizard.

After all, if you can’t trust a guy wearing a dead animal around his neck to remove a curse, who can you trust? I mean, really.

Does CR9 makes differences

2009-10-25T21:40:00.001-07:00

Does Real Madrid 's CR9 Cristiano Ronaldo Make Much Difference

Real Madrid was the first to blink. After starting the Spanish season with five consecutive victories, in lock-step with rival Barcelona, los Merengues lost on Sunday to Sevilla, 2-1, in what Mark Elkington of Reuters called a “bristling” defeat.

“Manolo Jimenez’s side inflicted a first defeat on Real with a vibrant, attacking display that was reminiscent of their performances under Juande Ramos when they won back-to-back UEFA Cups,” writes Elkington.
Sevilla’s wings, Jesus Navas and Renato, did the most damage, scoring in each half, and showing that despite Real Madrid’s record spending on talent, it is vulnerable.
Sid Lowe, writing for the Guardian in Britain, described the match as “the season’s first really big clash.“But it was bigger than that,” he added. “It was as if it was Madrid and Barcelona versus the rest, as if Sevilla were playing for the whole league; as if the rest of Spain sent R2D2 to the Sánchez Pizjuán with a grainy hologram: Help us, Sevilla, you’re our only hope.”

Sevilla is now level with Madrid at 15 points but Real leads on goal differential. Still, the defeat stung for Madrid. Cristiano Ronaldo missed the game because of a lingering ankle injury sustained midweek during the Champions League victory over Marseille, and pundits are citing that as the major reason Madrid lost. Also missing to injury: Lassana Diarra, Alvaro Arbeloa, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Fernando Gago, prompting ESPN’s Soccernet to note that, “Madrid certainly lacked cohesion.”

Ronaldo leads the team with nine goals this season, the most prolific new star in the Real Madrid constellation of “neo-galacticos.” Pundits and columnists questioned if Madrid, despite all the high-priced talent, can really compete without the Portuguese international’s scoring punch. The Spanish daily AS said that, if not for goalkeeper Iker Casillas, it would have been even worse.The game was Manuel Pellegrini’s first real test as Madrid coach, and he fell short in the eyes of AS headline writers.

“It was a great moment for them and they were the just winners,” Pellegrini said of Sevilla’s efforts, according to the Spanish news site, Marca.
“Cristiano Ronaldo is an important player, but we built a team to compensate for players who are unavailable,” said Pelligrini, who added that two serios errors by his team — not the absence of Renaldo — resulted in Sevilla’s two goals.““We were at fault for both goals. I believe the game was lost because of defensive errors,” the coach said. “I’m worried that they got two headers against us from players that are a lot shorter.”
There’s no denying Ronaldo’s impressive start to the new season. He’s clearly taken his task of leading Real Madrid to heart. How important is he to the team’s chances to regain its glory and catch Barcelona, in Spain and in Europe?

Corinthians striker Ronaldo: Cristiano deserves to be Real Madrid CR9

2009-10-19T03:18:00.000-07:00

Who deserve what?

Corinthians star Ronaldo is happy to see Cristiano Ronaldo running around in his old Real Madrid No9 shirt.

The former World Player of the Year told AS: "I've seen that he's taken my number and my name.

"I like that. He has a name too, so he could choose what he wanted "

"Tell him he can do very well with that shirt and with that number. He is a very great player. It goes without saying how important he is and how well he plays football."

OASIS better than beatles : CR9 SAID

2009-10-13T01:17:00.001-07:00

Today’s top gossip:

Former Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo has given his verdict on British music, and according to him, Oasis trounce The Beatles. "Liverpool have The Beatles and Manchester have Oasis," he said. "I think we [Manchester] have the better band."
The Portuguese star says he owns every Oasis album, with his favourite track being 'Champagne Supernova' ("It's an absolute classic," he said), despite never having heard of the band when he first moved to the city. "I will be honest, I didn't even know who they were when I first arrived in Manchester, but you can't live there long without knowing who they are."
He added that he had never met the Gallagher brothers, though he had seen them around Manchester. "I saw them around town a couple of times but never spoke to them. They didn't look that approachable but sometimes these artistic types are like that," (The Sun).

Fact the Hurt CR 9

2009-08-24T16:42:00.000-07:00

he sad with the fact that Portuguese people lack of faith in him

Cristiano Ronaldo, who missed Portugal’s friendly match against Liechtenstein earlier this month, is being receiving a lot of criticism from the Portuguese FA.

His commitment to the national team has been questioned time and times again by the President of the PFA, Gilberto Madail, as well as by Manchester United’s former assistant coach Carlos Queiroz. As regards to all the negative judgments over his personality, Cristiano Ronaldo declared:

“I just want to be more respected. I played for the national team one day after my father passed away. People do not see those things.”

Indeed, Cristiano Ronaldo played for Portugal just one day after his daddy died. Ronaldo, 19 at that time, powered his country to a memorable 7-1 victory over Russia as Portugal cruised on their way to Germany 2006.

Ronaldo continued:

“I am very sad to know that the Portuguese people have doubts about what I am, what I was and what I will be for the national team.”

Earlier this year, Cristiano Ronaldo was criticized by a member of FC Porto’s board. The Portugal captain was ironically taunted after he scored a wonder goal for Manchester United against Porto in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Cristiano Ronaldo is struggling to find the back of the net for Portugal who are in a critical state in the qualifiers for South Africa 2010. Critiques paint Ronaldo as a selfish player who is either unable or unwilling to perform wonders for his national team.

“Of course I did not like those critiques,” Ronaldo said. “Those were very bad critiques. I do not know why they do it, the press, even the president and Queiroz.”

“I think they know me very well, they know who I am and so it makes me really sad that people doubt what I have, but okay, there are people like this.”

Cristiano Ronaldo reached the highest levels in club football with Manchester United when he won trophies like the Champions League and the Fifa World Club Cup in Japan. Can he influence the Portuguese team with this kind of success and offer the country its first ever major trophy?

Cristiano's favorite underwear is a pair of tight red pants with an elephant's trunk on the front, Nereida Told

2009-08-12T08:57:00.000-07:00

Women has two "mouths"...come on?!

Cristiano Ronaldo's skanky ex-girlfriends just can't keep their mouths shut. Nereida Gallardo, who had dated the Real Madrid winger in 2008, continues to discuss her brief fling with the Portuguese soccer stud.
Gallardo, 26, recently told a Spanish TV show that Cristiano's favorite underwear is a pair of tight red pants with an elephant's trunk on the front. "He puts his willy where the elephant's face is, but he doesn't fill its trunk," said Nereida. "During our time together he got turned on more by looking at himself in the mirror than at me."

Gallardo was obviously retaliating against Ronaldo for having snubbed her outside a Majorca nightclub on Aug. 1. Cristiano, 24, was walking to his car after an evening at a disco when Gallardo tried to approach him to say hello. Paparazzi photos show that Ronaldo did not make eye contact with Nereida, who was quickly escorted away from the Portuguese international winger by security guards. Cristiano Ronaldo ex girlfriend

Gallardo pleaded with security staff to let her through by insisting, "But he is my ex-boyfriend." However, a completely uninterested Ronaldo ignored her and continued walking. Maybe the reason is that after their brief romance ended last year, Nereida repeatedly talked trash about Cris on tv and in tabloid interviews.

"I regret what happened at the nightclub," Gallardo declared recently on a Spanish TV show. "I made a fool of myself. But it would have been the reaction of any woman who has been hurt in the way I have. I was in love with Cristiano and he behaved very badly with me."

Nereida, a one-time nursing assistant, is an aspiring model who has posed topless in cheesy girly magazines and has competed in bikini contests. Shortly following a sun-splashed Sardinian holiday last summer, Ronaldo dumped Gallardo after growing tired of the lurid headlines about Nereida's seedy, bed-hopping past.

Spanish and Portuguese tabloids have reported that Gallardo, who previously had a fling with Spanish footballer Sergio Ramos, had once dated soccer agent Pedro Campane. In an interview with News of the World, Campane revealed that Nereida has a wild side. "She was like a wild animal in bed," he said, adding the two slept together the first night they met.

"She didn’t have any [sexual] hang-ups," he said. "She liked doing everything in every position. Nereida doesn’t know much about football but she knows lots about men and how to please them." Campane also revealed that Gallardo has bedded other soccer players in the past, and cares only for men with money. Geez, is it any wonder Cristiano dumped her?!

NEW CR9 MOMENT with REAL MADRID

Cristiano Ronaldo on Santiago Barnabeu welcome " I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE"

2009-07-09T02:40:00.000-07:00

Record crowd welcomes Ronaldo to Real Madrid

MADRID, July 6, 2009 (AFP) - Cristiano Ronaldo said on Monday he had fulfilled a "childhood dream" as he was officially unveiled as a Real Madrid player before a record-setting capacity crowd of nearly 80,000 people at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.

"I am very happy to be here," the 24-year-old Portuguese winger told cheering fans at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in the Spanish capital after completing his long desired move to the club from Manchester United.

"For me it is the realization of a childhood dream, which was to play for Real Madrid. I never expected the stadium would be full just to see me. It is impressive," he added.

Club officials said the event had smashed the previous record for attendance at the unveiling of a footballer set in July 1984 when Diego Maradona was presented at Naples after signing from Barcelona before 75,000 people.

Real acquired the player from Manchester last month on a six-year deal worth 94 million euros (131 million dollars) and he will reportedly be paid 13 million euros each season, making him the most expensive player in the world.

Ronaldo, the 2008 FIFA world player of the year, said he was "proud" to be the world's best paid footballer and would do all he could to help the team win the Champions League.

"I want to prove that they paid the right price for me," he told a lengthy news conference after he was unveiled where he fielded questions in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

"We have a great team, a great coach, and we have to take it step by step. We have a really good chance to win the Champions League," he added.

Real, Spain's historically most successful team, last won the Champions League in 2002.
Ronaldo wore the black and white Number 9 jersey once sported by club legend Alfredo di Stefano during his unveiling.

The Argentine striker, Real's honorary president, was present at the unveiling as was Portuguese legend and former Real player Eusebio.

The number 9 jersey was recently vacated by Argentine striker Javier Saviola who joined Portuguese side Benfica last month.

While Ronaldo wanted to keep the number 7 which he used during his six years at Manchester, that number is already taken by Real captain Raul.

"Nine is a mythical number at the club. The numbers don't play. It is me who is going to play and I am going to play well," he said.

Ronaldo arrived in Madrid on Monday afternoon on a private flight from his native Portugal where he was on holiday to undergo medical tests before he was unveiled.

The head of Real's medical services, Carlos Diez, said Ronaldo was "in perfect condition" after the player underwent medical tests.

"His cardiac and lung capacity is extraordinary," he added.

Fans, many equipped with food and drinks to ease a lengthy wait, starting gathering at the stadium hours before the official presentation, which lasted about 30 minutes, got underway at 9 pm.
Real president Florentino Perez praised Ronaldo's "professionalism and talent" who is capable of taking the club to "the peak of world football".

Ronaldo will team up with Kaka, the 2007 FIFA world player, who signed with Real from AC Milan for 65 million euros from AC Milan in early June.

Kaka was officially unveiled on June 30 before 55,000 fans. He was the first big name who Perez signed since he returned in June for a second stint as president of Real.

Perez, who brought Luis Figo and Zinedine Zidane to Real during his first term as the club's president between 2000 and 2006, is seeking to rebuild a squad which trailed arch rivals Barcelona last season by reviving his policy of signing football superstars.

Among Real's other signings is French striker Karim Benzema from Lyon and defender Raul Albiol, who joined from Spanish side Valencia.

I Will Be With Real Madrid On June 30 said Cristiano Ronaldo

2009-07-02T12:46:00.000-07:00

Those waiting to see the world's most expensive player in his new colours will be able to so at the end of the month...

Cristiano Ronaldo will be presented by Real Madrid at the end of June and will become the world's most expensive footballer when he finishes his well-publicised holiday, he has revealed.

The Portuguese star is currently in his homeland after a trip to Los Angeles that made the front and back pages of newspapers and magazines around the world.

While Ronaldo recuperates from a long hard season and a busy Stateside trip, the media continue to report and contemplate the world record fee that Madrid are paying for him.

That does not seem to have affected the 24-year-old, who is clearly enjoying his summer break before he travels to the Spanish capital..

"I imagine that I will presented on June 30," Marca quote him as saying.

According to the report in the Spanish daily, the player will fly to Madrid and sign his contract before then, but nothing official will be announced.

Lucas Brown, Goal.com

Cristiano Ronaldo has agreed a six-year deal with Real Madrid.

2009-06-28T10:33:00.000-07:00

Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Real Madrid from Manchester United has been finalised

The Spanish club confirmed, with the Portuguese set to officially join the Spanish giants on 1 July. The £80m fee breaks the previous world-record of £56m, set earlier this summer, which Real Madrid paid for Milan's Brazilian forward Kaka.

United had accepted an offer from Real for Ronaldo on 11 June, after the player made it clear that he wished to leave Old Trafford. However, the deal could not be finalised until Ronaldo returned from holidaying in the United States, and now the Portugal winger has put pen to paper on a six-year deal.

"Real Madrid and Manchester United have signed a final agreement for the transfer of the rights of Cristiano Ronaldo from 1 July," a statement on Real's website said.
Ronaldo, who joined United in 2003 for £12.2m, is set to earn a reported €13m (£11m) a year in Spain, making him the highest paid footballer in the world. He will be presented at the Santiago Bernabeu on 6 July.

The acquisition of Ronaldo, 24, is just part of a sensational summer in the transfer market for Real, with the club having already added Kaka for £56m and Valencia's Raul Albiol for £12m. Despite an outlay of £148m, however, the spree looks set to continue, with Real linked to Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery, Valencia's David Villa and Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso.

Old Friend Always Say the Truth

Zoran Tosic has revealed that he and his Manchester United team-mates knew before they contested the Champions League final with Barcelona at the end of last month that Cristiano Ronaldo had resolved to leave the club.

Tosic, who joined United from Partizan Belgrade in January, did not travel to Rome with the squad for the ill-fated showdown against the Spaniards. The young winger had featured as a late substitute in United's final Premier League match at Hull City three days previously and he had headed straight home to Serbia to prepare for the European Under-21 Championship in Sweden with his country's team.

But by then he had spoken to Ronaldo and got the clear impression that the Portuguese World Player of the Year had called time on his glittering six-year spell at Old Trafford. Ronaldo has since agreed an £80m transfer to Real Madrid.

"I spoke with him," said Tosic. "He told us that it's enough to be here. He'd won all the awards in England and he wanted to try something else. I think he's going to be again the best player in the world [at Real]. This season was not the best because last season he scored 42 goals, this time 25, and they all said it's the worst season. He scored 25 goals and it's not enough! I think that in Madrid he will be again the best."

Tosic is convinced that Sir Alex Ferguson will sign a big-money replacement for Ronaldo but his looming departure has invited the club's existing wingers to press their starting claims. Nani has already said he can be the man to fill the void while Park Ji-sung has similar ambition.

"My first six months at the club were for me to prepare, to get stronger," said Tosic, "and in the next six months it's important to try and break into the team and prove that I'm a United player. To be honest, I think that probably Cristiano was the best player in the team and so someone will come in to take his place.

"These games at the Under-21 championship are very important for me and then, when we go on pre-season tour, I hope I'm going to get a chance. I played three games [as a substitute] this past season but I was adapting. Next season, if I get a chance, I am ready."

Tosic believes he is comfortable on either flank although his left foot is stronger and the 22-year-old says "the people from Manchester think I can play better on the left side". The club's official website muses: "It could be Tosic who is charged with filling the Welshman's boots when [Ryan] Giggs eventually retires."

Giggs is among those at the club who have done most to help Tosic settle. Paul Scholes is another while Tosic's international team-mate Nemanja Vidic is a friend and neighbour. "Nemanja is maybe five minutes away," said Tosic. "I knew him before from playing in the senior Serbia team and we spend a lot of time together. His wife and my girlfriend are together all the time. Giggsy and Scholesy are also fantastic, they help me a lot. They want to use their experience to help all of us."

Tosic is a tricky if diminutive player who has struggled with the physical aspect of the English game. He admits at times the reserve team league resembled a school of hard knocks. "In a few games for the reserves the players kick me andI was wondering, 'What is going on? Iam going home, I cannot play here.'Then I got through that and it's normal for me."

Tosic speaks English fluently, a legacy of language lessons at school, although he jokes that he struggles to understand Ferguson. His main points of contact at United thus far, as he lives a boyhood dream, are the coaches Mick Phelan and Rene Meulensteen.

"I was a United fan as a kid since we won the 1999 European Cup," he said. "From that moment I was a United fan. I remember when I was just starting to train, I saw a picture of the Serbia national team up in the changing room and I said to the coach, 'I am going to stand there one day and I am going to be a Manchester United player. Those are my two wishes.'"
