JORGE MENDES SPILLS THE BEANS ON THE CRISTIANO RONALDO TRANSFR TO MANCHESTER UNITED.

Jorge Mendes should know everything in detail whatever happened during the Cristiano Ronaldo transfer to Manchester United. And he should know it well as he is the agent of Cristiano Ronaldo He says that it was not only Arsenal and Manchester United who were in the race to sign the young 18 eighteen year old Cristiano Ronaldo, there was a third club involved and that was Liverpool. Now much earlier Arsenal and Arsene Wenger were in talks of signing up Cristiano Ronaldo, in fact he visited Arsenal three times with his mother., all parties were happy only the signature was missing of Cristiano Ronaldo. But earlier to that Manchester United played a friendly match in Portugal in the new stadium of Sporting Lisbon. And during that match Cristiano Ronaldo was bossing the Manchester united team from all sides as well. The Manchester United players demanded that Sir Alex Ferguson buy Cristiano Ronaldo. But why did Cristiano Ronaldo sign up with Manchester United? Jorge Mendes said that both Arsenal and Liverpool wanted to buy Cristiano Ronaldo, but these two clubs wanted to buy him and give him to Sporting Lisbon for another year, but you must remember that in this case Sporting Lisbon would have to continue to pay Cristiano Ronaldo his salary. And as they had gone and spent vey big money on building their new stadium they wanted the money naturally. Manchester United were the only club that wanted to buy him then and there. The rest is history. But just a thought let your imagination run wild here. 1) What would Arsenal have been like with strikers like Thierry Henry, Kanu, Denis Bergkamp? 2) What would Liverpool have ben like with Michael Owen, Milan Barros, Emile Heskey and Cristiano Ronaldo?
