Take a trip to New York and see the city from the air

Ronaldo is unlikely to be fined by Manchester United after the Portugal winger was accused of organising an orgy with five prostitutes and two team-mates at his house nine days ago. Juliana Baltrusch, a 24-year-old Brazilian prostitute, who works for Mckenzies escort agency in Leeds, and two of her colleagues have claimed that they attended a party at Ronaldo’s £3 million Cheshire home with Nani and Anderson and two other prostitutes after Manchester United’s 1-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.
Sir Alex Ferguson discovered on Thursday that the allegations would be made against the three players over the weekend, but the United manager showed his faith in Nani, the 20-year-old Portugal winger, and Anderson, the 19-year-old Brazil forward, by selecting them to start in Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Sunderland. Ronaldo was suspended after being sent off in the Barclays Premier League match against Portsmouth last month, but is expected to return in two weeks for United’s next Premier League game, away to Everton.
Baltrusch claims that she was driven to Ronaldo’s house with four other prostitutes and told to help the three players, two of their friends and an unidentified “fat man” to celebrate United’s first victory of the season. “I recognised Ronaldo straight away from watching the World Cup last year,” Baltrusch said. “He’s my idol. I’ve always fancied him.”
According to Baltrusch, the party cost the players £3,000 — paid for on a handheld credit card swipe machine that she carries in her handbag — and during the four hours she spent at Ronaldo’s house she “dirty-danced” with the winger, performed a sex act on Nani and joined Anderson in bed for “a no-holds-barred spanking session”.
Ferguson has a well-earned reputation as a strict disciplinarian and several former United players who crossed his path will be scratching their heads after discovering what the present generation of players at Old Trafford are reported to be getting up to.
Lee Sharpe regularly received the hairdryer treatment for enjoying himself too much, but if Ronaldo needs a shoulder to cry on, he could turn for advice to Dwight Yorke, the Sunderland midfield player, who was accused of making sex videos with Mark Bosnich while the players were team-mates at Old Trafford in 1998.
Ronaldo, Nani and Anderson could escape club fines because they were partying within the confines of a private house, the incident happened on a night after a game when no curfew would be in place and United did not have a match for another six days.
The only worry for the United management would be the reaction of the club’s owners, the Glazer family.
The details of the five women who are reported to have attended the party, were removed from Mckenzies website yesterday. “We are a highly respected escort agency, so it’s no surprise that top Premiership players decided to use our services,” a source at the agency said. “We hear that Ronaldo was very happy with our girls. In fact, that’s probably an understatement.”
ROMPBOX
Frank McAvennie Twice married, the striker took advantage of the possibilities open to a top footballer. “I must have had 500 birds. Then again, I never was much good with numbers – it’s probably twice that,” he said. “When I was a kid, I never got a bird because I was so ugly. So I made up for it.” Sauce rating: 5
Ryan Giggs The new George Best – in more ways than one? Before settling down, Giggs enjoyed flings with a string of models in his younger years. In the mid-1990s, he embarked on a relationship with Davinia Taylor, an actress. “He watches football all the time,” she said. “All I do is tidy up.” Sauce rating: 3
David Ginola Although complaining that British women “behave like men in sex as well as drink – it is disgusting”, Ginola had an affair with one in 1998: Vicky Lee, an actress. “He seemed amazed by my chest and couldn’t take his hands off me,” she said. “His hands were lovely and smooth and I remember he had finely manicured nails.” Sauce rating: 3
Dwight Yorke In 1998, he filmed an orgy with Mark Bosnich, his future Manchester United teammate, and four women. It was far from the only time Yorke was caught “romping”. To try to preserve secrecy, he told one woman he was a postman called Brian. Sauce rating: 5
Micky Quinn The former striker was prolific – in the bedroom. “When I was at Portsmouth, I actually had four birds on the go at one time. They were all barmaids, which says a lot about the life I was leading,” he said. Sauce rating: 4

Probably just a carefully-orchestrated publicity campaign to convince the public that Ronaldo isn't really gay.....never happened. That's why there were no consequences from Sralex.
Andy Fielder, Ashton-In-Makerfield,
a mans' got to do what a mans' got to do. anybody who has the money and the brains would spent it on birds for a good time. c'mon... ronaldo is human afterall... get off his back...
Omar Shah, chester, england
It does not really matter, the fact is that thier act did not affect their performance. please work toward winning more matches that is more importance. i strongly believe that they have learnt lessons.
chipees, Heidenheim, Germany
This may not be unlawful, but it certainly shows the moral and social standard of these icons, at least one of them a teenager. The prostitutes remarks about their politeness and manners tells more than details on sex.
iceman, reykjavik,
sack him, not a role model for kids. £3k rip-off.
nim, lincoln,
Does this mean Ronaldo's straight?
Trip Fontaine, Sheffield,
Shouldn´t an investigation be launched into the legality of the "escort" agency, given one of their workers is publicly claiming to have performed a sex act on someone?
Ali, Cusco,
If was suspended for another 2 to 3 weeks and was getting paid £100k p/w, then what better way to spend (y)our hard earned cash.
However, the others weren't, so it may seem as if it could have been a bad idea - especially when you saw how badly Anderson played on his debut.
Still, what a welcome wagon from a team mate for Nani and fellow portugeuse speaking Anderson. I just wonder who was juggling whose balls, what sort of bag of tricks did they have and don't forget about Ronaldos' gorgeous pin-up of a Gf Ms Anderson of Hollyoaks fame!
Bruce, Crewe, Cheshire
And you Brits have the nerve to criticize American sports! Pathetic.
Willy, Cleveland, Ohio
If this is the type of influence Ronaldo is going to have on new players, he sure as hell is not in line for the Captain's armband! Are these guys that stupid when they know that everything they do is publicly scrutinized? And nobody should think, simply because no fines were levied, that they escaped SAF's wrath! As a United fan, I certainly don't want to be reading this when the team is struggling to find itself on the pitch. In fact, I don't want to be reading this under any circumstances!
Geoff, Woodbury, Connecticut,USA
good on the boys. it's better to do that than be out in town getting into trobule and starting fights & or taking drugs....
give the girls a few quid & havea great time....

Did he get the girls number from a certain ex-owner of Trafford Red-Sox?
Windy Miller, Camberwick Green, Trumptonshire
Bless; how thoughtful of him to get his new team-mates a Portuguese speaking hooker to make them feel at home. And they say chivalry is dead.
Bill, Sheffield,
I don't object strongly to immigration or prostitution but I wonder how the girls obtain work and visa's are they here legally is the agency paying tax etc. etc.

Yah...... it's good to have some little quality tym once in a while!
Playing for a big team or being a celebrity doesn't mean you shouldn't be granted your privacy, they are young guyz who struggle to earn a living and good enough they didn't emchroch on anybodyz premises.
guyz enjoy your selves afterall yo still young. But alwayz take the big man's advice in case of anything for your bright future
Ferdinad, you left memories on our minds
we love you

I understand Old Trafford has a Blue Room, perhaps they should turn it into a private lounge for their players.
JR, Reading, UK
What a disgrace! Surely Sir Alex has to come down like a ton of bricks on them for bringing shame on the club. I've just bought my daughter a Ronaldo shirt. Rest assured she wont be wearing that again.
Yours, disgusted season ticket holder.
Claire, Salford, England
that noise? if matt busby is turning in his grave then george best is applauding in his
Dan, Birmingham, west mids
Ronaldo, Nani and Anderson, three adults having perfectly legal sex using a perfectly legal escort agency "Within the confines of a private house", on a night when there was "no curfew in place", and when "United did not have a match for another six days". They are all perfectly entitled to enjoy themselves and if people seemed to forgive George Best for sleeping with a different woman every night, they should do the same this time with United's new generation of midfield: it definitely won't affect United's status as a club giant in the footballing world. As long as they all give their all for United and score goals, I don't care who they sleep with at night.
Robert Cantarero, Leicester, England
all the three players should be fired as they set a very bad example to the youngsters and it causes the club embarrassment
