Bale to Real? Ronaldo to United! This week’s transfer guff analysed…
Cristiano Ronaldo back to Manchester United?
Particularly interesting stuff from the Mail on Wednesday this week, when they claimed Cristiano Ronaldo will hold transfer talks with Manchester United in ‘the next three days’. Quite the bombshell, huh?
The story came with a big fat disclaimer, however…
‘As FIFA prohibit clubs maintaining official contact with players who have contracts in place, both sides have agreed to deny any kind of meeting, which could lead to a huge boost for David Moyes ahead of the new season.’
Hmmm. So Ronny is definitely having talks with United, but if any official sources deny they ever happened, it’s because they aren’t allowed to have them in the first place and are keeping everything hush hush…
Ignoring the fact that clubs talk to players under contract ALL THE TIME, this seems like a convenient little get out clause for a very thin/possibly completely false story.
