As with any other transfer window, there has been plenty of speculation regarding Manchester United and their transfers. This season has been particularly exciting, with players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Dimitar Berbatov making the headlines.
The main story of the summer has been Cristiano Ronaldo’s proposed move to Spanish giants Real Madrid. The Galacticos have always said that they would be interested in purchasing Ronaldo, but it was only this transfer window that the rumours came alive, with Real Madrid offering huge amounts of cash and players to be able to sign the twenty three year old winger, with one offer said to be worth one hundred million pounds, as well as two players, which are valued at fifty million pounds!
Ronaldo didn’t exactly play down the rumours, though, saying that he would like to move to the Madrid side, and constantly making hints at a transfer. Manchester United have strongly declined that any deal will be made though, with Alex Ferguson saying that he would rather see Ronaldo in the stands than playing for Real Madrid, and also telling the Glaziers that if the Portuguese player leaves, he will leave too.
The other main story has been involving Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov. Berbatov currently plays for Tottenham Hotspur, but a good season has resulted in interest from Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson has said that he is confident that the player will sign for them, even though Barcelona are interested, and are said to have offered a higher amount for the player than the ‘Red Devils’.
Other than those main two stories, Manchester United have signed Davide Petrucci from AS Roma, and have sold Gerard Pique to Barcelona for five million pounds.
