Man Utd boss Ferguson angry over new Ronaldo diver claims

tribalfooball.com - December 04, 2006

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is angry over fresh claims his star winger Cristiano Ronaldo is a diver.
Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate was the latest to accuse Ronaldo, 21, after he won a penalty in United's 2-1 win on Saturday.

But Fergie wants his winger to ignore taunts during the crunch Champions League Group F clash at home to Benfica tomorrow.

He said: "There is too much diving but we do our best to curb it.

"You see how Ronaldo at our club has developed and improved simply because he grows up, he's getting older and the club talked to him about it.

"He suffers provocation but he's rising above it. Opponents foul him but he just gets up and gets on with it."
