Manchester United fans are looking towards the bar and at our landlord stunned here in the Football Transfer Tavern as Metro report a £245 million swoop is on the cards.
The Red Devils are reportedly eyeing a move for not only Cristiano Ronaldo but also Gareth Bale as they look to use their increased TV revenue to raid Real Madrid.
Now as one of our punters notes, while this would be a stunning move from the club, you cannot help but think Real Madrid would channel their inner Fergie and tell them where to go should they seriously try and buy not one but two of the La Liga leader’s best players – and we are pretty sure United are fighting a losing battle here no matter how much money they have to throw around.
The new TV deal will of course hand a heap of money to the Premier League sides, but we think there are some things money cannot buy – and Ronaldo one of them.
