Right Decision to sell Ronaldo?
By Shane Edwards
Manchester United have shocked the football world after accepting an £80million offer from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo's Old Trafford future had been the subject of intense speculation since the end of the season and Real finally appear to have landed their man after being granted permission to speak with the Portugal international.
The decision to sell Ronaldo was taken solely by manager Sir Alex Ferguson. A spokesman for the Glazer family said "It was purely a football decision and had nothing to do with the financial structure of the club."
It is understood that the full £80million will be made available for Sir Alex Ferguson to invest in the transfer market this summer.
We are looking for fans opinions on this move. Do you think this was the right decision for the club? Can Ronaldo be replaced? Could we see some of this money spent on securing the ownership of Carlos Tevez?
