Real Madrid signing Ronaldo: I'll miss Man Utd boss Ferguson
Real Madrid signing Cristiano Ronaldo says he'll miss Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
He said: "I will miss the boss. Sir Alex has taught me so much on and off the field, I could not have asked for a better mentor.
"He made me aware that I would be one of the best players in the world, he gave me that belief. He gave me the No 7 shirt because he believed I could do it justice.
"I can never repay the confidence he has shown in me over the years."
Despite leaving United to earn £240,000 a week after tax at the Bernabeu, Ronaldo miss the North West.
"I was a boy when I arrived at Manchester and now I'm leaving a man. This club and its fans will always have a place in my heart," he told Shortlist.
"It was nice to leave after winning another title, but it would have been perfect to win another European Cup. That defeat really hurt so when people say you don't show loyalty, I just don't listen."
