Beckham was an Englishman playing for the biggest English club. Ronaldo is Portuguese and was caught in a controversial situation with a beloved Englishman playing for the biggest English club. He doesnt have all his family/friends and all that in England so if he thinks the fans, the club and the media seem to not be behind him for whatever reason then I can understand him wanting out of the country. I mean, its not as if foreigners are given the same warm treatment through and through as supporters give their fellow countrymen. You dont have that same loyalty through your nationality.

As far as loyalty goes, I'd give him a 6.5 ath this pont in time which I rounded up to 7 in my vote. As I see it now I think he realizes there really isnt any club out there that could provide him a better envorinment/situation than what he currently is in now at Manchester United. The freedom that he is allowed at Old Trafford he wont get elsewhere I feel. We give him a very long creative leash playing in the best league in the world and I just dont think there are many managers out there at the bigger clubs outside England who would tolerate the things Fergie does for his sake. He realizes he has a great thing going and even though he still has an air of arrogance about him you can see he has began to accept his teammates,the club/the fans as family. You know you got it good when players out there begin to consider the prospect of playing alongside you in a positive light in considering a transfer.

With all that said I do however think the most likely instance where he would leave will be when Sir Alex retires. If he doesnt leave at that time then I think he'll be with us for the course of his career.
