Ronaldo: Red Devils doing well
Cristiano Ronaldo does not believe Manchester United are missing him despite his contribution at Old Trafford before his move to Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old moved to the Bernabeu last summer after six seasons with the Red Devils, where he became pivotal both domestically and in the Champions League.
His goalscoring and attacking contribution meant the Portuguese's absence was always going to be apparent, although Wayne Rooney has stepped up in front of goal this season.
The Portugal international told Sky Sports News: "Without me Manchester United have done very good things.
"They have won the (Carling) Cup, they are in the fight for the league.
"They have been knocked out of the Champions League but in my opinion Manchester deserved to be in the semi-finals but in football things happen. I wish the best for Manchester. It is always special."
