Cristiano Ronaldo thinks his old pals at Manchester United Football Club are just fine this season.

Although the Reds have lost five games in the Premier League already, including two in the past three, Ronaldo believes his former team-mates are holding up without him.

“I think they are doing very well this season,” said the Portugal international forward. “They have lost two [of their past three] games, but they are still second in the league.”

Many pundits and fans alike believe Sir Alex Ferguson’s side have been severely weakened since they sold Ronaldo to Real Madrid in the summer for a world record £80million.
