Ronaldo 10 months deadline

Video Safari

Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo has been plotting a move out of Old Trafford for ten months, it has been revealed.

The Guardian says United manager Sir Alex Ferguson's inquiries are understood to have indicated that Ronaldo broached the subject with his agent Jorge Mendes last September and that potential buyers were informed shortly after that it would be his final season in England.
The evidence gathered by Ferguson is said to show the strength of Ronaldo's feeling and reaffirms that his desire to leave has nothing to do with the fallout from Wayne Rooney's sending-off in the World Cup.
It's reported that Ronaldo's teammates at United are bemused over his claims that Ferguson hasn't supported him over his role in Wayne Rooney's World Cup dismissal.
It is a standing joke among United players that Ronaldo is teacher's pet so far as Ferguson and his assistant Carlos Queiroz are concerned.
