Shirty Corinthians fans fume at United boast that 'there's only one   Message List

Manchester United's claims that 'there's only one Ronaldo' have been met with a shirty response in Sao Paulo.
Fans of the legendary Brazil striker got a bit hot under the collar when they found out United were selling T-shirts bearing the Stretford End chant.
 
More than 1,200 readers joined an online debate on whether Cristiano or Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima was the greatest.
And the latter's new club Corinthians have designed their own jersey to remind the Barclays Premier League champions that 'O Fenomeno', then playing for Real Madrid, wrecked United's Champions League hopes at Old Trafford six years ago.
From Wednesday, £13 will get you a T-shirt proclaiming: 'There is only one Ronaldo that: scored three goals against Manchester United at Old Trafford; won three times the FIFA World Player of the Year award; won two FIFA World Cup titles; is the greatest scorer in FIFA World Cup history; had three unexpected comebacks.'
 
The Brazilian Ronaldo made his point on the pitch by scoring his first goal for nearly 15 months on Sunday.
Coming on as a second-half substitute for Corinthians, he rescued a point for against Sao Paulo rivals Palmeiras in the Paulista championship.
Ronaldo headed in from a corner in injury time to make it 1-1 in just his second appearance since suffering a career-threatening knee injury while playing for AC Milan against Livorno in February last year.
The goal sparked chaotic scenes as he was surrounded by journalists at the edge of the pitch. Police needed to calm down supporters and Ronaldo, along with several of his team-mates were booked for their over-exuberant celebrations.
At the end of the match, the 32-year-old found it impossible to leave the pitch as he was again mobbed by journalists.
He had already shown glimpses of his returning genius, firing just over with a curling shot from 25 yards a few minutes before he finally found the net.
