"Cantona got it, David Beckham got it. They were burning effigies of David. He dealt with it, no problem at all. Cantona was getting incredible abuse when we played at Sheffield United in an FA Cup tie. Then he chipped their goalkeeper - it was pay back.

"It affects people in different ways. I've no doubt the same thing will happen to Ronaldo and that he will handle it just as well. He's strong enough mentally.

"I've no fears there. I don't think the fans are that vicious. They boo, but that's no problem. They can boo all they like."
