It is still not the right time

The Portuguese Star displayed a patchy performance and received a booking for confronting the referee after being fouled.
Ronaldo, who scored 42 goals last season, is yet to solve Manchester United’s goal scoring problem. The EPL defending champions have tasted only one victory this season and their fate is worsening. More…

Cristiano Ronaldo put to the test
Manchester United’s Portuguese megastar Cristiano Ronaldo has not made any comments yet about Dr. Sulaiman Al Fahim’s interest in him.
The number 7 ace is presently concentrating on his fitness as he intends to be back on the field of play on September 27 for the league game against Bolton Wanderers.

When will Rocket Ronaldo fire again on the field?
After all the worries caused during the saga, Manchester United’s greatest concern is presently over Ronaldo’s injury.
The winger has started minor exercises and is believed to be back on the pitch in the beginning of October. However, according to The Sun, Ronaldo could only be playing as a starter by November.

King Ronaldo aims to complete his room of awards
Did anyone play better than Cristiano Ronaldo did last season? Then let this person come forward and defend his worth!
The Manchester United number 7 redefined soccer by stamping his authority in every game. Some might suggest that he failed to shine in big games.
Either way, the fact that he still managed to be on the scoring sheets (like against Arsenal in both meetings and against Liverpool at Old Trafford) explains the meaning and value of a true good footballer. In other words, a great player knows how to prove his presence in a match even when he is less performing.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the type of player that coaches – like Bernd Schuster – will love to manage. The talismanic Portuguese scored 42 goals and his statistics don’t end just here. He made 31 first XI appearances in the league in which he scored 31 good goals. His amazing performance was especially spiced up by numerous outstanding free kicks amongst which the one against Portsmouth described his entire skill in shooting balls. More…
