Cristiano Ronaldo to Announce Real Madrid Decision Soon

Cristiano Ronaldo to Announce Real Madrid Decision Soon
Portugese winger Cristiano Ronaldo, who led Manchester United to the Champions League and English Premier League titles this season,  has confirmed he will make an announcement on his future plans in the next few days.   Ronaldo has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent weeks although Man U are determined to hold on to their prize asset and have even threatened to report the Spanish champions to FIFA over what they claim are attempts to unsettle him.

 

The 23 yr old is hoping an announcement will end the speculation.  Speaking after Portugal's 2-0 win over Georgia, Ronaldo told A Bola: 'Let's see, I hope there will be news soon. In two to three days I will announce my decision.'

 

If he decides his future lies away from Old Trafford, Ronaldo would have a fight on his hands to secure a transfer to the Bernabeu.   United boss Sir Alex Ferguson on Sunday claimed the Glazer family, the club's owners, would rather keep the player even if a hypothetical situation arose where he refused to play for the Red Devils. 

 

The Scot said: 'I've had a couple of meetings with the Glazers.   'Their attitude is, 'to hell with them'. They'd sit a player in the stand, I'm telling you, absolutely no doubt about it, just to prove a point. Not to give in to these people. They've got balls, I can tell you. I've been delighted with them in that respect.'

 

The Glazers took over United in an £800million deal in the summer of 2005. Their arrival caused huge ructions among fans due to the debt they placed on the club.   Ferguson, however, has been delighted with the support of the Americans since their regime began.  'They've been good to this club, believe me,' he added. 'They have been brilliant owners.'
