Man Utd ‘would gladly sell Cristiano Ronaldo’ as striker linked with sensational transfer to David Beckham’s Inter Miami
MANCHESTER UNITED ‘would gladly sell Cristiano Ronaldo’ this summer, reports claim.
And David Beckham’s Inter Miami are reportedly keen on a shock transfer.
Stefano Benzi told that United’s owners, the Glazers, are concerned they’re not getting bang for their buck from Ronnie.
The 37-year-old, who has scored 18 times since his Old Trafford return last summer, currently pockets a whopping £480,000 per week.
That amounts to a staggering £25million salary.
