The display of a strong bond between Sir Alex Ferguson and his favourite striker Cristiano Ronaldo seems to defy the Real Madrid rumours as they shared the podium; where their relationship looked to have been cemented with a strong bond of sharing similar interest and liking for each other.

This was quite evident as Ferguson shared private jokes, talked and whispered indulgently expressing his emotions for him. The star of the season for United has led the club to resurgence for consecutive three seasons. If one would take the public appearance of Ferguson and Cristiano Ronaldo together as the basis of their relationship then it is no exaggeration to make a statement that despite the generational difference there is a deep bonding between the two that is further strengthened by their common likes and dislikes.

The other side being that these appearances in public could also be deceiving and a reflection of the insecurity in the relationship. The fact that Ronaldo has made a statement that he was very happy at Manchester United should not be taken at the face value.

Though Ronaldo has not been the first outstanding footballer unearthed by Ferguson at an early age, Macheda is another promising star discovered by Ferguson. However for Ferguson’s final chapters of years at United, Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most crucial milestones and the fact that both believe that the season’s historic end appears to become a reality in the next two months. Having Ronaldo continue to lace up his Nike football boots for United will obviously have a major positive impact on the club’s success. The mere comfort Cristiano Ronaldo and Ferguson get in each other’s company and the very fact that both love and enjoy public attention and have a confident personality that cannot be shaken further add up to their commitment for each other.
