Ronaldo, Others Rested as United Progress
Cristiano Ronaldo sat out along side a host of United stars and watched as his team progressed through to the champions league knockout stages. Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney scored for United either side of two Aalborg strikes that stunned the Old Trafford crowd. United had already secured safe passage from the group but needed a positive result to beat out Villareal for the top spot.
Before kickoff, Ronaldo collected the trophy he won last week for being voted Europe’s best player, drawing raptuous applause from the home fans. This would be the only time Ronaldo would set foot on the pitch as he was rested by Sir Alex Ferguson for a less than vital encounter.
United started fast, taking the lead in the 3rd minute after Rooney had played in Tevez to open the scoring. Aalborg though, weren’t phased and were ahead before half-time through headded goals from Michael Jakobsen and Jeppe Curth.
The lead lasted only 7 minutes though, as Rooney pounced on an Anderson through ball to finish powerfully with his right foot. This signalled waves of United pressure but Aalbord were able to hold on for a famous draw.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the man. Just wish he’s play more like an American/English player and not dive around so much
Of course Ronaldo sat on the side line, because he is a focking ferry. Yeah that’s right mate. The worlds greatest diver is resting on the sideline, because he had too much sex on the plane with some twat (probably another Manc).
He is overrated, missed a penalty in the champions league final, has done nothing for Portugal in the Euro and will end up as a male stripper in some section of London.
You must be a yank, as the latest post is from Dec. 10th. We just saw the draw for ManU and Inter. Oh boy, Ronaldo will be flying high to the ground with no tackles in sight.
At least you have two of the biggest cheats in football on the pitch in Ronaldo and Mazaratti. Perhaps we will be entertained to Head Butts and Diving performances a la Greg Lougaines -
As us Scousers sing:
Ronaldo your a PUFF and you know you are …your a PUFF and you know you are…
