Van Gaal tells Manchester United to sign Real Madrid forward
Manchester United fans have been left in a state of extreme excitement following Louis van Gaal’s admission that he will explore the option of bringing Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo back to Old Trafford.
Forward Cristiano Ronaldo, 30, is furious after Real Madrid’s 4-0 home defeat by Barcelona and wants manager Rafael Benitez replaced.
Manager Van Gaal ensured many more column inches on Sunday and Monday were filled with “Ronaldo return” headlines by answering positively when quizzed if he would like to see the player back at Old Trafford. Juan Mata has been involved in more Premier League goals than any other Manchester United player since his arrival six months prior to van Gaal and the Dutch boss plays him in a wide role too. “With Ronaldo, let’s wait and hope”. There is no trainer in the world that doesn’t like him.
United also face competition for Ronaldo’s signature, with The Telegraph stating the multiple-time Ballon D’Or victor is more likely to join Paris Saint-Germain than the Red Devils.
But with the team that van Gaal has built in the last 18 months is there space for an egotistical, selfish goalscoring machine? However, despite the expectation of him, the Welsh winger has failed to impress and is still in the shadows of Benzema and Ronaldo. Under-pressure Benitez thanked Real’s president Florentino Perez for his vote of confidence on Monday, and told a news conference ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League Group A game against Shakhtar Donetsk there are “no conflicts” with Ronaldo.
Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea praised tennis player Novak Djokovic after he claimed the ATP Tour Finals title in London.
PSG’s current highest earner is striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who earns a not unimpressive £220,000-a-week after tax, but Ronaldo’s offer would dwarf even that.
“But he wouldn’t be managed by Ferguson now”.
“I can’t explain. I don’t think anyone in the team was expecting the first half”. That is how United are getting their results.
“You can’t have one guy out on the wing, and say ‘do what you like.’ That’s not how the system under van Gaal works”. “The money was unlimited and it is an up and coming idea as a club”.
“I will never say never when it comes to going back to the Premier League, because you don ” t know what the future holds. Real Madrid is second in La Liga right now with a 7-3-1 record.
