Cristiano Ronaldo should think twice before swapping Manchester United for Real Madrid because it may not be such a good move for him, Carlos Cuellar believes.
Aston Villa's Carlos Cuellar believes that Cristiano Ronaldo would be better off staying with Manchester United because he is unsure if the Portuguese star would be a success in the slower Spanish league.
The former Osasuna and Rangers defender thinks that the lack of space and the slower build-up in the Primera Division would take something away from the Ballon d’Or winner's game.
Real Madrid pursued Ronaldo last summer and have been linked with another move this term but Cuellar is not sure that it would be a dream move for either club or player.
"I am not sure that [the Spanish] league would be the best for him," Cuellar told AS. "He is a great player but the game in Spain is much more tactical than here, going forward it is slower and it works in a different way.
"His explosiveness and speed are better suited here.
"I compare [Ronaldo] to [Fernando] Torres, who is thriving here much more than he did with Atletico [Madrid] because he is quick and can take advantage of the space that exists in Premier League defences."
When asked which players from the Premier he feels could be a success in the Spanish league, Cuellar had no doubts.
"[Wayne] Rooney, [Carlos] Tevez, [Steven] Gerrard and a lot of the Chelsea players because the way they play is better suited than Cristiano is," he continued.
Ashley Young was also linked with Real Madrid and Cuellar believes that he would be a success in La Primera.
"He would make it in Spain,” the defender said of his team-mate. “He is very good going forward on the right or the left. He is fast and likes to run at players. He has great quality and likes to work hard for the team.”
Cuellar then stated that he feels Chelsea are the best team he has faced in England and thinks that Manchester United have enjoyed their fair share of luck this term.
"The team that has made us suffer the most is Chelsea,” he explained. “They have quality, speed, mobility, they keep possession...
"United are very good but they have been lucky and have won games when they have not played well.”
