They got my attention: Cristiano, Alcantara and Rooney + De Gea

By: @Zamaradi_M

Out of curiosity I normally go through the internet every morning, afternoon, evening, night now and then searching for any MUFC related news.  Whenever I can I will be making these They Got My Attention posts.

Here is to the first one!

1. Cristiano Ronaldo

Cris was in a trip to Singapore when he was heard admitting to missing Manchester United!

“I miss English football. For me, it was one of the best years in my career when I was there in Manchester United. Everyone knows that it is a club that is still in my heart and I really, really miss."

Me: Cris, we really, really miss you too.

Then he spoiled it with this confession;

"But now my life is in Spain. I am enjoying playing there too. Part of my life is there, but in the future we never know. I am really, really happy in the Spanish league.”

I will just hold on to that but in the future we never know. August 17 is also in the future, right?

In case you are having a problem remembering Cris' best years in his career, let me refresh your memory;

2. Thiago Alcantara

There have been rumors that he might be in a red shirt from next season. Before the Euro u21 he was quoted saying that 'Manchester United seems like a good club because De Gea speaks so highly of them.'

I guess Xavi accepted DDG's challenge of who will convince Alcantara on whether to stay with Barca or move to MUFC. A Spanish paper El Mundo Deportivo reported that Xavi met with Alcantara trying to convince the youngster to stay with Barca!

Me: Thiago, would you rather wait to MAY BE become the next Xavi or would you just move to OT and become the Thiago Alcantara of MUFC?

On June 30th, Thiago posted a photo on Instagram and captioned it I love Barcelona. Well, he said Barcelona and judging by the photo itself, may be he meant Barcelona the City and not Barcelona FC!

Here is the photo.

3. Wayne 'Baba Kai' Rooney

He is and will always be one of my favorite MUFC Legends.

After clearing that one out, let's get to business. Yesterday it was reported that Rooney would have talks with Moyes in which Baba Kai requested that his reps attend too. Fortunately/Unfortunately the meeting was either canceled or someone got the wrong Moyes day planner (or diary, whatever he uses). They are saying talks will be held today!

But, Rooney went for training and stayed at AON Training Complex for more than 3hours where he was scheduled to have his medical tests.

There are also warnings advices from former coach Mike Phelan who said Rooney is at the greatest club he can ever be unless a move is for him to face new challenges he should just stay put.

Also former team mate, now Sky Sports expert Gary Neville warned Rooney that MUFC is not a club a person leaves because a part from being a great club a footballer can achieve whatever they want to achieve here there. I think Gary forgot to add 'Ask Cristiano.'

Me: Baba Kai, make up your mind. And if you are staying, sign a life time contract this time. We've had enough drama from you! And moYES, you are still and will always be one of my faves.

Baba Kai arriving at AON Training Complex yesterday. People say he doesn't look happy!

Now here is Rooney, Moyes and Rio. Who looks happy? Why are Rio and Moyes unhappy too?

And for no reason at all here is a photo of Number One, do I need a reason to add DDG's photo on a post? NO!
