Ronaldo does not care if his proposed £80million move to Real Madrid makes him an object of hate.
The Portugal winger, who looks to be on the way out of Manchester United, claims he wants to “re-write the history of football”.
He said: “I love it when people jeer me. I love to see the hate in their eyes, to hear the insults. It doesn’t bother me.
“It’s true lots of people hate me but there are even more who love me and who support me. I feel bad only when I play badly. Fortunately, that happens rarely.
“I want to re-write the history of football.”
