Cristiano Ronaldo

Full story: the Sun

What’s the story? Is Ronaldo the man Man United are secretly pursuing? Maybe. It’d be deliciously ironic if Real had to tell another club to back off one of their own players.Does it make sense? Yes. Real want to win another Champions League title and selling Ronaldo isn’t a good way of trying to do that. In United’s case, signing him could be what takes them over the edge to win it themselves.Is the price right? They paid £80m so why would they sell for less?Will it happen? 1/10 – Maybe in the future, but not right now.
