Latest News from the Club

Club statement

Manchester United has issued the following statement regarding Cristiano Ronaldo's future:

Manchester United has watched with growing irritation the comments attributed to Real Madrid over their alleged desire to sign Cristiano Ronaldo. The facts are:

The player is on a long-term contract and his registration is held by Manchester United
The player is not for sale

The Club will have no alternative but to report Real Madrid to the world governing body, FIFA, if it continues to behave in this totally unacceptable fashion. These public attempts to unsettle the player are completely against the regulations and the Club will not tolerate them any longer.

In addition, the Club is certain that they are a distraction for the Portuguese national squad as they prepare for the European Championships. No-one should be in any doubt that Manchester United will do everything in its power to keep its best players.

That statement basically means Fergie said, 'Ronaldo leaves this summer over my dead body'.

That's true and you do know if it was the other way around Fifa would have taken action by now.

Can't understand the fuss, to be honest. I'm sure Ronaldo can, and probably have been made aware of the interest through his agent. Can't really see the extra threat to his position at the club by some comments made to the press. If the player wants to leave then he can feck off, and as he's under a long term copntract Real will have to ask Juan Carlos for a hefty transfer fee. If he wants to stay then the club should know about it and let Real fill the papers with whatever fantasies they wish.

On another note, didn't we try to settle Benzema among others not so long ago? Even Palacio and that other Wigan cunt were unsettled. Pretty childish that "reporting" to FIFA imo.

Don't think you can compare those situations. Ferguson said something about Benzema when we actually played Lyon, and he haven't said anything about the guy since. Real have talked about Ronaldo every single week for almost two years.

It's not childish, it's the rules and Real are not following those rules. Also, no we didn't try to unsettle Benzema, Palacios or Valencia... there wasn't even a single statement coming from the club about how we wanted to buy said players let alone a barrage of statements from the entire fecking contingent of staff.

Marca speak an unbelievable amount of bollocks, buy-out clauses are extremely rare in this country.

He's already said it a few times, whilst leaving the door open for Real to make a move in the future.

He had spoke many times already that he is staying.

Example : He will stay as long as SAF stays, he has no intention of leaving at the moment... too many in fact.

It is Bernd Schuster that fucking whiner who keeps blowing wind on the fire.

Ronaldo's big OT night didn't win Madrid a CL, they got knocked out by Juve. In fact Ronaldo never did win a CL with Real (or anybody else). He did win a Liga that season - the only thing he won in his 4 seasons with them.

Zidane won a CL with Real and La Liga in his 5 years. Figo won 2 Ligas and a CL in his 5 years there (same as CR has done with United!).

Galactico-land was a mess and one that Madrid have only just got over. Even Marca's readers are scared of Real buying Cristiano.

I hope we are not accused of hyprocrisy.

...except United put in an actual bid for Hargreaves, didn't they? (I know they did eventually since, y'know, he joined the club--but at the time, I mean.) Not to mention the fact that Hargreaves himself was openly lobbying to join United. There're similarities between the two cases, but it's a matter of degree imo.
