If only I had Ron – Fergie

THROWING IN THE TOWEL ... Alex Ferguson is upset by Norwich's winner

ALEX FERGUSON watched Manchester United squander the chance to regain top spot — then admitted he would love to re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo.

Anthony Pilkington headed a shock winner and United boss Fergie said: “There’s every chance
Ronaldo might leave Real, you never know.

"I would like to think he could return to Old Trafford but I don’t think it will happen.

"You’re talking about incredible amounts of money.

“I speak to him quite regularly. He’s always wishing us well and we’d be the first team he looks
for, there’s no doubt about that.”

Ronaldo, 27, left United for Spanish giants Real Madrid in an £80million move in 2009.

But only this week he paid tribute to Fergie and insisted he looked upon him as a father.

Ferguson conceded Norwich deserved to win and United missed injured striker Wayne Rooney.

He added: “You always miss your good players but they deserved it because they worked so hard.”
