The Manchester United website claims today that: “Manchester United have received a world-record, unconditional offer of £80 million [around €94m] for Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid.
“At Cristiano’s request – who has again expressed his desire to leave – and after discussion with the player’s representatives, United have agreed to give Real Madrid permission to talk to the player… Matters are expected to be concluded by 30 June.”
Ronaldo has been a key part in United’s success over recent seasons, winning three Premier League titles, an FA Cup and a Champions League after joining the club in 2003. He also scooped up the FIFPro and FIFA World Player of the Year awards and the Ballon d’Or award too.
Move over David Beckham, Ronaldo is soccer’s new king.

well i think with ronaldo gone, rooney will be able to play in a more central role instead of out on the flank. this will suit both him and the club better.
