Cantona Advises Cristiano Ronaldo To Stay

(Soccer365.com) Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has advised Cristiano Ronaldo that joining Real Madrid would be 'stupid'.

The Frenchman says Ronaldo's style of play is well-suited to the Premier League and he should be very careful about leaving Old Trafford.

Ronaldo is reportedly eager to make the move to the Spanish champions, and the possible transfer has attracted a storm of media attention.

Cantona, who spent five years as a United player, said: "Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world right now. He is a genuine artist.

"His style of play fits Manchester United's very well, and the reverse is also true. It is pleasing to see such harmony.

"As for him wanting to join Real Madrid, I don't really know his personality. Maybe he has valid reasons that drive him to leave United.

"He is still young, and so maybe he wants to take on fresh challenges. I can understand if this is the reason why he wants to leave for Real.

"But if he were to leave because of something else, I think he would be doing something absolutely stupid."
