This is Ronaldo’s first goal for Manchester United (against Portsmouth).

Cristiano Ronaldo shrugged off early injury scare and played for the whole game against Serbia, but could only help Portugal to a 1-1 draw in their Euro 2008 qualifying match.

Former Chelsea player Tiago opened the scoreline for Portugal early on the 5th minute, and Bosko Jankovic equalized on 37th minute.

Both side missed series of chances, but 1-1 seems like a fair result for both teams. Portugal perhaps shared a bit more possessions and attack, but Serbia’s goalie Vladimir Stojkovic was in great form.

Ronaldo had a quiet game; his most memorable effort was a freekick on 75th minute, but Stojkovic did well to parry it.

Real Madrid will try to sign Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo and AC Milan midfielder Kaka for next season, club president Ramon Calderon has said again.

“We really like him (Cristiano Ronaldo) but he belongs to Manchester United and they have to decide to sell him first,” Calderon told Spanish television station Antena 3 in an interview.

“If that is the case then we’ll be first in the queue, although we won’t be paying 80 million euros ($106.2 million) for him.

“I don’t think any player, even someone with Cristiano Ronaldo’s quality, is worth that money, but we are definitely interested if Manchester United want to sell him.”

Calderon also said he would renew his bid to sign Brazilian midfielder Kaka from AC Milan, something he had pledged to do during last year’s presidential election campaign.

Cristiano Ronaldo is doubtful for Portugal’s Euro 2008 Group A qualifier in Serbia on Wednesday after injuring his left heel in training.

“At this time we don’t know if he (Ronaldo) will play,” team spokesman Onofre Costa told reporters on Tuesday. “He sprained his heel.

“It doesn’t look very serious but we are not sure if he will be fit.”

Hope he’s ok. Both Portugal and Manchester United can’t afford to lose him at the moment.
