FERGIE:NO SWEAT TO RONALDO


Sir Alex Ferguson has backed Cristiano Ronaldo to take any fans' barracking firmly in his stride.

Ahead of Manchester United's opening Premiership date against Fulham on Sunday, Ferguson revealed he is confident in Ronaldo's strength of mind.

The Portuguese's World Cup histrionics - in particular his involvement in Wayne Rooney's quarter final sending off - has seen him marked by many as public enemy number one.

But the 21-year-old has shown little sign of being affected by the jeers in pre-season, and Ferguson expects little to change once the serious business gets underway.

"We don't need to shield Cristiano," said Ferguson.

"I don't think fans are that vicious in terms of needing security and safety.

"They may boo. That is no problem. Cristiano is mentally strong, so they can boo as long as they like.

"These situations are nothing new to us. We had it with Eric Cantona and David Beckham. They were burning effigies of David at West Ham immediately after the 1998 World Cup.

"We navigated it and so did David and we will do the same again."

BAYERN HOLD HOPE FOR HARGREAVES


Bayern Munich insist they do not have to cave in to Owen Hargreaves' desire to join Manchester United.

The midfielder has expressed his wish to clinch a move to The Premiership prior to the closure of the transfer window.

After a couple of impressive performances for England, The Red Devils are reportedly ready to pay £17 million for Hargreaves.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed his pursuit of the Canadian-born 25-year-old and feels the player wants to head to Old Trafford.

German champions Bayern are digging their heels in and are determined to resist any big-money offers for Hargreaves.

With the player under contract until 2010, the Bavarian giants appear to be in a strong position and are determined not to buckle under the pressure of United's interest.

"We want to develop a new, young team," Bayern general manager Uli Hoeness told Bild am Sonntag.

"Therefore, we do not sell Hargreaves.

"Bayern Munich will never become the ball of the big clubs and become soft starting from a certain sum.

"If you only have this image at times, then you are broken."

When asked whether Bayern can keep a player at the Allianz Arena against his will, Hoeness remained optimistic Hargreaves would stay.

He added: "Yes, you can do that.

"I know that, perhaps, until August 31 his thoughts are with Manchester.

"But, starting from September 1, if the transfer list is closed, his whole heart will again be here with FC Bayern."
