Beckham: Man Utd not weaker without Ronaldo
AC Milan's on-loan LA Galaxy star David Beckham says Manchester United haven't skipped a beat since selling Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer.
Beckham scoffed at claims his old team will be there for the taking after selling superstar Portuguese winger Ronaldo to Real Madrid for a world-record £80million.
Becks said: "When you lose someone like Cristiano, you lose a lot - not only on the pitch but in the dressing room as well.
"But I wouldn't say they are weaker because they've still got great players in their squad.
"It's the same when any great player leaves a club like Manchester United, AC Milan or Real Madrid - the club moves on."

Beck's,your statement is absolutly right.Loosing a big player like Ronaldo is actually a blow at first sight.But that is another way of putting the team in a stronger shape.Man utd i think has picked up their broken pieces and are moving on very well.Football is not a one man thing u know! Nice one beck's....
i do agree with you becks but it doesn't mean that once a great player leaves it is the end of team but i do recommend this to you sir Alex he is the one he is manchester united
Beckham "you lose a lot - not only on the pitch but in the dressing room as well.
"But I wouldn't say they are weaker because..."
LOSE A LOT = WEAKER. MORON.
