Following the harrassment Manchester United faced from Real Madrid in regards to Cristiano Ronaldo, Sir Alex Ferguson claimed he wouldn’t even sell a virus to the Spanish club. They have clearly rubbed him up the wrong way in their conduct towards Ronaldo, meaning our manager is less inclined to let The Best Player In The World join them.
Our manager has today explained why the likes of David Beckham, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Gabriel Heinze were allowed to sign for Real Madrid, and why we would let him go for £100 million.
“First, you have to listen to the will of the player,” said Ferguson. “If two clubs came to offer £100million for Cristiano and Cristiano wants to go to Madrid, do you think I could make him sign for the other club? You think I could go against his wishes? All I can do is advise him. But all this makes sense only if we are ready to sell Cristiano for £100m. We have already sold players to Madrid: Heinze, Beckham, Van Nistelrooy. We sold them those players because we wanted to. We didn’t sell Cristiano because we didn’t want to. It’s just a business question, not an ethical question. I won’t let my personal feelings influence my decision making.”

That’s what i was saying last Sunday.Ruud left mostly because SAF felt he had to go.It wasn’t about him handing in a transfer request.We have another problem people.Milan want to buy Vidic and Evans for 30 mil.Would they like us to put Evra in the same package?No one and i mean no one from the current defence should be allowed to leave.Not even for 300 mil.
I don’t get what SAF is trying to say here.
He’s taking back his “I wouldn’t sell them a virus” statement.
no he isn’t
he was asked whether he would not do business with a club just because he didn’t like them. they then said ‘for example you refused to sell ronaldo to real madrid. was that just because it was real madrid’ he said he has never liked madrid but………. then said that
he then made it clear he is not interested in selling ronaldo or any other player (in another answer) to any team. read the interview in english on the way to the game yesterday. mate gave me a copy of l’equipe and was translating it lol
Not sure Jaap Stam would agree with this comment ” I won’t let my personal feelings influence my decision making.”
Costas – dont see how the Milan thing is a problem. They want the pair for 30 million, SAF won’t sell, end of! No problem.
30M would be jus about enough to buy Vidic’s toe. A joke of a rumor
I know King Eric.It’s just the way the tabloids pass this story along.”United rocked by the news”,”Nemanja met with them while he was in Milan”,”SAF prepares to fight for them” and other stuff.Why would anyone in their right mind want to leave United for Milan right now?Have the tabloids thought about that?I can only see Vida being tempted because he has talked about the weather in the past.But when i see him on the pitch,it feels like he loves it here.
Vidic and Evans not going anywhere no way lol. Sir Alex would probably retire if the club want them to go , tell me one player who can come and fill their place then i ll tell u what is the price , manchester united is not a commercial club , its a place where the principles r kept from one era to another .man united 444 ever
It seems as though he’s preparing to sell Ronaldo should the right bid come in, he’s saying that if a stupid offer comes in, he can’t let his bitterness towards the cunts stand in his way.
Costas, if you’ve ever been to Milan (or Turin, for that matter) in the middle of winter you’d long for the weather of Manchester!!! What has happened in this case is that the papers have been struggling for something to write, someone has spotted a ‘Vidic for Milan’ story planted by an agent in an Italian paper or a website, had the story badly translated and then spun it. Then, lo and behold, it becomes ‘fact’ in one of our tabloids. Isn’t it funny how, just before we’re about to play a big European club, yet again one of our top players is about to move, either to that club or one of its main rivals?
alphars,
SAF will do what madrid did to robinho
I actually have been to both cities but in the summertime,so i wouldn’t know what you are talking about.You are probably right.Before every European game the tabloids have a field day with our players wanted by other clubs or with our injured defenders(btw i have a strong feeling that Rio will make it).I just hope that this dinner than Vida supposedly had with them is complete bullshit.
Mkred is right the coldest ive ever been in my life was in florence one january about ten years ago. jesus christ it was freezin.was studying there at the time and had no idea it would get so cold.summers are nice and the spring does come a little earlier but its not the sun soaked paradise we think. besides vidic is a winner and there is only one place for winners to be and thats at old trafford. where the trophies are and hopefully will be again in may.
Vidic to AC Milan? Why even concern yourself with drivel like that costas?….they are an average football team in an average league, Italians are more bothered about their next bowl of pasta and gucci shades than going to the football…the country’s backward and the football is backward too.
If Milan want Vidic & Evans they surely can if their willingness to exchange them for Kaka & San Siro stadium.
Zalee: Swap Vid and Johnny for Kaka and San Siro? Not a chance pal.
