ronaldo stinks a s s
Fock all man utd fans,let us see if ronaldo wants to leave if they won't triple the money.He is not even happy to receive 120 a week deal and wants to equal himself to the likes of his excellency captain john terry and frank lampard.Well,ronaldo is just a kid,so must be kidding.
