Wenger admitted: “If I was to have a player from Manchester United it would be Ronaldo — because we were so close to getting him.
“We were a just few hundred-thousand pounds away. I was very close.”
The Portuguese joined Manchester United for £12.24million in 2003.

People usually say that england are bein depraved of world best, i quote them all wrong. Cos Christiano Ronaldo have or will prove them wrong again. His acheviement 2007-08 is more than fantastic, a winger to score 42goals in a season, highestgoaler both in champions & premier league, defending champion in last two & last season, defending champion of champions league also wins europen golden boot, last but not list england best. So i strongly thinks he deserves the honor. So give honor to whom honor is due , i qoute from bible. Thanks. Noel (NIGERIA)
