Former Manchester United star David Beckham has admitted that Cristiano Ronaldo faces a difficult choice this summer.

The Portugal international has been linked with a summer switch to Real Madrid and Beckham knows what the 23-year-old is going through as he made the same move five years ago.

Ronaldo has spoken of his "dream" of playing for the Spanish giants, and has agreed with Sepp Blatter's claim that there is "modern slavery" in the transfer market.

Beckham said: "When I left Manchester United the only other club I wanted to play for was Real Madrid.

"Living in Madrid and playing for Madrid - there's not many better clubs than that apart from Manchester United, which is equal.

"But to have those two choices is good for him.

"Playing for Manchester United was my dream but so was playing for Real. It was an incredibly difficult choice to make and I'm sure it is the same for Cristiano."
