Hi Liu, hope you're well. btw, have you heard who the new United manager is?

Anyone decent in the last year of their contract knocking about btw? Because that's the only hope the club has of signing anyone remotely good enough.

Xabi Alonso, KP Boateng, Christian Eriksen, David Villa, Eto'o, Lewandowski.

Hmmmm, will we spend £80mill on Bale or just the £60mill on Ronnie??
It's a toughie.

Would love Big Sammy to rock up at OT for a year or two

I don't think you're taking this seriously, MJ.

In my eyes it can only be Ronaldo or Bale.

Nice of Uncy Malc to promise you that tbf. He's raving though.

With Pat on the way out, there's potentially space for a slightly unhinged worldy at the club:

Quite a few media outlets running with the ronaldo to united story now. could it happen?

United step up Ronaldo bid

MANCHESTER UNITED have stepped up their efforts to make Cristiano Ronaldo the signing of the summer.

The Red Devils are convinced they can take advantage of uncertainty at Real Madrid to bring him back home to Old Trafford.

And they are prepared to offer £65million plus a player to land the superstar, 28, who is still a hero with the United faithful.

Ronaldo is also understood to be keen on the move.

He has turned down offers from Real Madrid to sign a new deal with only two years left on his current contract.

Real will not give up trying to keep him.

But they have already made contingency plans to bring in Gareth Bale from Tottenham in a switch worth £80m.

They also know that they cannot afford to let Ronaldo’s contract run down and now would be the last chance to get big money back on him.

Ronaldo has put his house up for sale in Madrid and did not play in Real’s final game of the season after falling out with departing manager Jose Mourinho.

The player left United for Madrid in an £80m move in 2009. While he has won a Spanish title and the Copa Del Rey, he has not always been happy at the Bernabeu.

He missed many of his old team-mates at United and kept in touch with Alex Ferguson.

Ronaldo was disappointed when Fergie retired but he still fancies a return.

United have made contact with his representatives.

Sponsor Nike are also in on the deal.

United would make him their joint top earner with Wayne Rooney on £250,000 a week. While Paris Saint-Germain could top that, it is not just about the money for Ronaldo.

The signing would give David Moyes the perfect launchpad for his Old Trafford reign.

Neil Custis in the sun

Daily Mail also running with a story that Ronaldo has said he won't be extending his contract at Madrid.

How about offering Rooney and a lesser amount of cash ?!

That way the scouse mard-arse is removed from the equation but doesn't go to one of our main domestic rivals. Can't see the Glaze having £60m to hand anyway.

Rooney + 20m

Not sure why we have to pay 80m when he has only 2 years on his contract.

Sounds like a great idea to spend more on a player to bring him back, than they let him go for. We're not Liverpool ffs.

Bale's a good player, but he's not in Ronaldo's league.

Sorry.

That's ok, no need to apologise.

Well someone needs to.

Keep hearing more and more stories about him coming back.

It's £#%&!ing cruel, isn't it? Too good to be true.
