I think it's amusing! After Uniteds unreleting persuit of Owen Hargreaves last year despite being told on several occasions the player was unavailable... they then complain that Madrids actions are unlawful when the boot is on the other foot. Karma?!

Stuart, London,

Let him go he is not as good as he thinks he is..he has had a great season, but without Rooney and a Carrick/Scholes...he falls over a lot!!

Mike , Glos, UK

Maybe he's tired of playing Premier league kick & rush and wants to go and play some football?

Peter, Wellington, New Zealand

So is a football contract actually worth the paper it's written on these days?

Why would Ronaldo want to got to a lesser club? He is currently at the peak of his career, playing for the European Champions and at a club that has just won the "worlds best league" for the 17th time. Any move would be when he is on the wane and wants an easier time in a less competative league.

AMP, London, UK

I agree Real Madrid don't need Cristiano to win more champions leagues, they need a miracle. Yes they won it 9 times, but only if you count the 5 bought by Franco in the 50's. English teams dominate now and will continue to do so for the foreseable future.

Bob, Malaga, Spain

Ronaldo is a brilliant player he wants to join Real Madrid but i dont think it will be yet he still has his time left at United and he will enjoy it while he still can.

Daniel, London,

Now Ronaldo has said he wants to leave, let's see Calderon put his money where his mouth is.

Ronaldo is the best player in the world; he's got 4 years on his contract; he's at a rich club that want to keep him. Are Madrid big enough to get him? Or are they all talk?
I think the latter.

Giordano Bennetti, Swindon,

We have won 9 champions league finals. We don't need Cristiano to win more.

I remember clearly the public pursuit of Alex Ferguson and Man Utd of Dwight Yorke from Villa who rejected Utd's offer and approach.

Ferguson then stated "the boy (Yorke) wants to come to play for us and realise his ambition; Villa should be fair"

Ronaldo wants Madrid - be fair Ferguson!

Arif, Leicester, UK

I do not understand these Ferguson's comparisons. Franco , lucky, died 30 years ago and Real Madrid of today nothing has to see with the Franco's regime. Do not say madnesses Sir

If Ronnie goes then so be it.
United are bigger than anyone and will never die.

Gaz, Hawarden,

Ronaldo may 'dream' about playing for Madrid. Madrid may 'dream' about winning the Champions' League. However, the reality is that United are champions of Europe. Young talent thrives at United. At Madrid, 'Galacticos' sink in their own complacency. Ronaldo need United more than he realises.

Howard Stones, Otley, UK

United need you
the fans need you
i need you

stephanie gavin, maidstone, england

i want criatiano ronaldo to go to real madrid because it would be the best choice for him instead of going with barcelona. And why would it be the best choice you might think it's because we won the the liga two times already if we get ronaldo i bet real madrid might win the champions league.

The Spanish-Portuguese border IS NOT a 'disputed' area, no matter 'professor' Queiroz may say. And there is not any 'battle' for Olivenza, which is a small, quiet Spanish village, in the Extremadura region, near the city of Badajoz. Nowhere there feels their town is 'disputed' by nobody.
