The manager and trainer of Manchester United, Alex Ferguson, was preferring to see the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo leaving the club taking Barcelona as a destiny, as opposed to Ronaldo going to Real Madrid.
The "accusation" is done by the publication of this Tuesday of the newspaper "Marca", which speaks in a meeting that Ferguson and Ronaldo had some weeks ago, in Lisbon, in which the English trainer will have accepted the claim of the international Portuguese of leaving Old Trafford ... since the destiny is not Real Madrid.
In accordance with the Spanish diary, Alex Ferguson would be willing to let go Ronaldo for Barcelona, for half of the value offered by the meringues, only so that the Portuguese did not reinforce the plantel led by Bernd Schuster, situation that, however, only did not come true because, it tells still the "Marca", Cristiano will have refused, since « he does not want to play in another club that is not Real Madrid ».
Because of this, the extreme will have preferred, according to the morning paper, to remain in Manchester, even risking to pass great part of the time in the substitutes' bank, to sign, in next season, for the blancos.
The "Marca" guarantees still that Cristiano Ronaldo will refuse the proposal of renovation of contract that the English club has been preparing, to the same time as Jorge Mendes continues in England, trying to convince the Manchester United to accept the proposal of Real Madrid.
