WHEN RONALDINHO NEARLY JOINED MANCHESTER UNITED.

In the year 2003 the famous Brazilian footballer Ronaldinho was playing for the French club P.S.G. That was before it was sold to the Qatar royal family. Now Sir Alex Ferguson , wanted to sign Ronaldinho from P.S.G., and everything was nearly done and dusted. Then just two days before the deal was signed for Ronaldinho joining Manchester United , the Brazilian got a phone call, and it was from Mr Sandro Rossel, now Sandro Rossel and Ronaldinho were friends , and Sandro Rossel was standing to be the president of Barcelona, so he asked Ronaldinho to join him at Barcelona instead and Ronaldinho agreed and the Manchester United deal then collapsed. As Sandro Rossel won the presidents post. A sad Alex Ferguson acted swiftly he shelled out 12 , twelve million pounds for a Portuguese youngster called Cristiano Ronaldo. And well the rest is HISTORY. A case of being so close and yet so far.
