In recent weeks, Cristiano Ronaldo’s good form looks to have dipped somehow. The Portuguese ace – who had an incredible 2007/08 season – is struggling to emulate his remarkable performance.

Ronaldo seemed to have hit top form after scoring 8 goals when coming back from injury, the last of those being his 100th and 101st goal for the club.

Now, rather than making the headlines for his heroics, Ronaldo gets on the media’s attention for his negative body language.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson believes that letting Ronaldo leave for his home country Portugal is the perfect solution for his number 7 ace to find back the dazzling form he once had.

This means that Ronaldo will certainly miss United’s FA Cup game against Southampton this weekend.

Ronaldo though should be ready in time to face his former Portugal coach Luis Felipe Scolari when Manchester United clash against Chelsea on January 11th.
