Manchester United have confirmed that they have accepted a bid from Real Madrid for Portuguese ace, Cristiano Ronaldo.

The winger has been courted by Madrid for the past three seasons and many fans felt it was only a matter of time before he departed from the Red Devils, especially after recent displays of dissent and questioning his manager's tactics following the Champions League final loss.

A fee of £80 million has been accepted, crazy money if you ask me, but money needed to find a suitable replacement.

I'll keep this article short, because I'm sure their will be many of the same subject to follow.

All I can say is I'm very disappointed that one of the best players in the world is leaving us, that he will always be remembered fondly, and I wish him the best.
