5-0 on his 50th

"I'm very happy for him, he's a young boy, a new talent, and he scored a fantastic goal - (but) not better than mine," - Ronaldo

(After ManU's 5-0 demolition of Stoke at home - referring to 17 years old Danny Welbeck's bending fierce strike into the top right hand corner from 25 metres out in the 84th for United's fourth)

You got to admire Ronaldo's 'modesty' XD

Ok. But who deserves more celebration? Ronaldo for scoring his 100th and 101st for the club (253 appearances)? Welbeck's first senior goal on his debut; plus he was born and bred in Manchester? I think it's Sir Alex Ferguson's 50th year in the game; and he ain't slowing down just yet! And to think he almost migrated to Canada to be a toolmaker when he was 21years old! Thankfully that didn't come to be!

Ferguson is adamant that he will stop managing at 70 - in December, 2011. Then who knows what will he do after that. Perhaps coach Great Britain for the 2012 Olympics? A perfect way to end his career! At the big stage! Though it will be very emotional to him and to us all. Sources say that Capello is very keen to be at the helm of United. He is the perfect, big personality to take over at Old Trafford, having won nine League titles in Italy and Spain, as well as the European Cup.

Anyway, Chelsea and Liverpool better watch out! Manchester United are hot on their heels!
