Fergie - Ronaldo's a good guy

Sir Alex Ferguson concedes Cristiano Ronaldo has been affected by 'temptations', but believes the winger responds to Manchester United's honesty. Ronaldo has been a long-term target for Real Madrid and was the subject of a very public courting last summer as United stood firm.The Portugal international eventually committed his future to United and again stressed his happiness at Old Trafford this week amid renewed rumours of a bid from Real.Ferguson understands the 24-year-old may have had his head turned in the past, but the Red Devils manager believes the club's approach to the situation has kept Ronaldo focused.Lucky"I think that he's had temptations and I think there have been periods when you've seen the effect of it (on the pitch)," Ferguson told CNN."He's lucky in the sense that people here can tell him the truth and be straight with him and he appreciates that, and he has responded to that."Ferguson praised Ronaldo for having the strength of character to know when he had overstepped the line in his tentative courting of Real."If it stays with him and changes him as a person then you have a problem," he said."Fortunately Ronaldo has good human qualities. He's a good guy."He knows when he's gone too far and he draws back in after that."
