Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has told Manchester United fans not to lose hope.
Ronaldo is convinced his former club will soon return to the summit.
"I really did love being at Manchester United," he told the Daily Mail. "Believe me, they will be a good team again, I'm sure of it. It is a great club.
"Bad moments and good moments. Manchester is passing through a bad moment. Last year it was a horrible season and this year they haven't started well, either.
"But I do think they did well to buy Di Maria and Falcao. I think the team will be much better. I want to see them better because it is such a fantastic club and they deserve to be better.
"Falcao is a very good signing. He is a very good player."
