Real Madrid ace Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't believe Manchester United have missed him this season.
His goalscoring and attacking contribution meant the Portuguese's absence was always going to be apparent, although Wayne Rooney has stepped up in front of goal this season.
The Portugal international told Sky Sports News: "Without me Manchester United have done very good things."
"They have won the (Carling) Cup, they are in the fight for the league."
"They have been knocked out of the Champions League but in my opinion Manchester deserved to be in the semi-finals but in football things happen. I wish the best for Manchester. It is always special."
