Manchester United manager David Moyes still
harbours hope of one day working with former
Old Trafford star Cristiano Ronaldo. The Real Madrid forward is being tipped to win
the Ballon d’Or after helping Portugal secure a
place in the 2014 World Cup by scoring four goals
over two legs against Sweden, including a hat-
trick away from home to continue an excellent
start to the season for club and country. Ronaldo, who left United for Madrid in 2009 in a
world-record transfer, signed a new contract at
the Bernabeu in September, keeping him at the
club until 2018, but Moyes has not given up on
coaching the 28-year-old. “Everyone at Manchester United would tell you he
is the best in the business anyway,” Moyes told
MUTV. “I have not been fortunate enough to work
with him but there is still hope some day it might
be possible.” Meanwhile, the United boss has also warned the
club’s Premier League title rivals that the reigning
champions are finding form. “I think that everybody knew what it would be
like,” he said. “We knew it would be a change of
manager and we knew there would be problems
no matter what, whether it be winning games,
new personnel, but overall the players have been
great. “They have shown me what they can do. I’ve said
many times Manchester United have shown over
the years they have been pretty slow starters, my
history at Everton I was a slow starter and
hopefully we are beginning to find our feet and a
bit of rhythm.”
