UK Back Pages: Cristiano Ronaldo's Staggering Cost, Rory McIlroy Fires Back

While the figure of the price to lure Cristiano Ronaldo away from Real Madrid varies from outlet to outlet, one thing is constant: It's a lot of money. 

Different figures are being revealed throughout the back pages of the sum it would take to make Ronaldo's sensational return to United a reality. 

Elsewhere, Rory McIlroy fired back at Phil Mickelson, and the Ryder Cup is shaping up to be a juicy one. 

The Star reports that the figure to bring Ronaldo back to Manchester is £160 million.

The Mirror reports that the cost would be a staggering £200 million and that McIlroy's dig aimed at Mickelson was in reference to an FBI probe looking into Mickelson's insider trading.
