Mr Ferguson doesn't need him what so ever though does he? As Cristiano Ronaldo is the best winger in the world.

Better players have gone to America and failed to make an impact, Pele, Moore and Best. He's past it, he can't run, he can't tackle, he can't take players on, he can only do something from dead ball situations, wow $250 million for a man that can only do something from a dead ball situation.

I understand his yearly income from next season, when he leaves Spain for America, will be:


An annual salary of $10m

His existing sponsorship contracts with his four sponsors - Motorola, Pepsi, Gillette and Volkswagen - is estimated to be worth $25m

His merchandising shirt sales will bring in $10m

His share of the club profits: $10m
That adds up to $55m. Multiply it by five and you get well over $275m.
