Ronaldo missing Old Trafford:

The Real Madrid fans do not support their team enough when they are playing badly and should try to be as initimidating to visiting teams as the Manchester United supporters, according to forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

'We know that we have the duty to put on a show but sometimes it's not possible,' the Portuguese international, who joined Real from United for a record fee this year, told Wednesday's Marca sports daily.
'We always try but at times the team are not playing well and the fans could give us more support,' he added.

'The Manchester United fans, for example, were very intimidating for Liverpool or Manchester City in those matches. I think that if our supporters tried to do that it would be much better for everyone and would give the players a big boost.'

I think Ronaldo is talking nonsense when he says the support at Old Trafford intimdated Liverpool and Citeh players.

I think the United players like him, Rooney, Scholes etc were the ones doing the intimidation.

We have an awesome home record. It aint because of our supporters, that's for sure. It's down to the players and management.

Man United 3 - 0 Wigan - HT. Rooney, Carrick and Rafael with the goals. Rafael ran to celebrate with his brother, wonder if they slipped on Fabio ready for the second half, with a free substitution.

Arsenal also 2-0 up at half time.
