Manchester United

Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo does not believe consistent booing from fans at away grounds will affect his form.

The Portugal international winger is an unpopular figure in England for his part in Wayne Rooney's sending off in this summer's World Cup.

Ronaldo played his first Premiership game away from Old Trafford on Wednesday in United's 3-0 success over Charlton.

The 21-year-old was one of Sir Alex Ferguson's star performers at The Valley despite his every touch of the ball incurring the wrath of the home support.

Ronaldo believes he handled the additional pressure well and does not believe being an unpopular figure on away trips will be a problem throughout the campaign.

"I know I'm going to get whistled at in every game I play but I am calm about it," explained Ronaldo to the Sun.

"I have been through one away game now in The Premiership and I had to concentrate hard on the match.

"Of course I heard it all, I'm not deaf. I just blocked my ears and concentrated on the game."

Alan Smith insists a seventh-month absence through injury has only increased his desire to succeed at Manchester United.
The 25-year-old striker is making remarkable progress after breaking a leg in January in an FA Cup defeat by Liverpool and could return in two weeks.

He is taking encouragement from the way Paul Scholes and Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer have bounced back after lengthy spells out.

“When I return that hunger will be the same for me,” Smith told MUTV.

“I was lucky to get this far without a major injury because football is a physical game.

“You realise how much it does mean to you when you come in every day and are putting in the work after being injured.

“It would be easy to cut corners but you should never do that.

“I like taking part in sport anyway, so doing bike rides was fun.

“My aim has always been to be around for the start of the season and fingers crossed I will not be far off.”

Smith has been delighted at the level of care given to him following his injury.

He said: “The good thing for me was that I had the right people in the right place at the right time.

“The Sunday afternoon saw my leg fixed and in place. You could not ask for more and from then on I had a positive outlook.

“I cannot speak highly enough off the way I have been treated at United. Ever since my injury I have had great feedback from everyone.”

Miracle Treble!!!
1998-99 was when Manchester United had the most successful season in English club football history as they became the first and only English team to win The Treble - winning the Premiership, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League in the same season. After a very tense Premier League season, Manchester United won the title on the final day beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-1, whilst Arsenal won 1-0 with Aston Villa. Winning the Premiership was the first part of the Treble in place, the one part that manager Alex Ferguson described as the hardest. In the FA Cup Final United faced Newcastle United and won 2-0 with goals from Teddy Sheringham and Paul Scholes. In the final match of that season, the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final they defeated Bayern Munich in what was then considered the greatest comeback ever witnessed. After going down to an early goal from a Mario Basler free kick, United chased the game for 85 minutes. After 90 minutes they forced a corner which was converted home by late substitute Teddy Sheringham. Not giving up, Man Utd went for a second and it came again from a corner, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, another late substitute, poked it into the roof of the net. Ferguson was subsequently knighted for his services to football.
