Thing what people look at and it's the same with Gerrard at Liverpool, they see X ammount of goals and that Ronaldo and Gerrard are classed as midfield players but in fact both players played mostly as forwards for their clubs this past season. If you look at Ronaldo and Rooney the past season it wouldn't surprise me if Rooney actually played more on the wing than Ronaldo did also don't forget that Ronaldo was Uniteds penalty taker so how many goals did he score from the spot the last few seasons, I'm thinking somewhere in the region of 15 - 20 the past 3 years. Don't get me wrong he's one of the top players in the world but unless Madrid buy at least 2 top class defenders I'd bet against anybody that come the end of next season Man United will have won more than Madrid will have.
