Manchester United have accepted a world record offer of £80 Million for Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Manchester United have agreed to give Real Madrid permission to talk to the player,” said a statement from the English club official website. It added that the decision came at Ronaldo’s request after he “again expressed his desire to leave the club”.
Comments from United fans on Ronaldo leaving are both positive and negative. One Man U fan sums it up neatly by saying: ”
I’m glad that it’s all going through. Admittedly there are few players in the world with the talent of Ronaldo, however at United talent alone isn’t enough. It’s all about attitude and heart and this season, in fact ever since Real first started their pursuit, we’ve not seen anything like the type of player that embodies United. It was only a matter of time and frankly £80m for a player who doesn’t want to play for our club, for a player who needs surgery, for a player who CAN be replaced, is great business sense.
We’ve had many players come and go through our doors, and I’m sure that Ferguson already knows who he wants to come in next. Ronaldo has won everything there is to win with us, so let him go and win the 2nd best league in the world if that’s what he really wants. All we fans can do is be thankful for the service he has given us and look forward to next season, and hopefully the chance to play, and beat, Real.”
