Manchester United keeping Ronaldo, after Deco, Hargreaves a done deal?

A handful of transfer rumors involving Manchester United have made the rounds this morning. I’ve listed a few of them here, the rest I’ll be posting individually (as they involve other clubs as well).

Ronaldo staying at Manchester United

First up, let’s Ronaldo’s recent assertion after the Portugal’s Euro 2008 game on Saturday that he’s staying at Manchester United for many years will put the Ronaldo-Barcelona and Ronaldo-Real Madrid rumours to rest. We’ve had enough of them, thank you very much :)

Like I’ve been saying since January, there was more of a chance of Ronaldo leaving last summer than there is this summer. Real Madrid and Barcelona can afford the 30m price tag, yes, but Ronaldo doesn’t want to go, not yet, so that’s that.

Manchester United to pay 15m for Barcelona’s Deco?

Someone comes up with an acceptable price for Deco (although that’s 5m too much for me considering his age), figures that Manchester United need a midfielder and then runs the rumour. Oh wait, that’s Tribal Football for you.

Xavi has more chance of coming to Manchester United than Deco, and neither of them are willing to leave Barcelona this summer.

Hargreaves - Bayern Munich or Manchester United?

Bayern are again posturing that they don’t need to sell while they look for ways to make 20m off Hargreaves without losing face in Germany for selling another top midfielder to a Premiership side.

He’ll come to Manchester United, you just have to wait for it.

Well, it’s time for me to wrap up and for you guys to tell me what you think.

  1. Its the other way around Ahmed, Deco has more chance of leaving then Xavi. Xavi is a Barca producet and is well liked by the club. Deco is the one that is always rumored to leave.

    I find the Hargreaves deal and all the hassle with Bayern very comical .. You are giving them the same headaces that we are giving you about Ronaldo.

  2. I think I misphrased that - United will be more interested in bidding for Xavi than Deco. And yes, Xavi is not leaving Barca, but since Deco isnt on United’s shopping list, he’s not coming either.

    See, the difference is, Hargreaves has openly said, several times, for a whole year now, that he wants to play for Manchester United. Ronaldo’s dead set on Man Utd, not Real or Barca.

  3. Deco to Man Yoo looks comical, Deco is 29 yeats and Scholes 32 I don’r think Fergie will sacrifice the versatile Scholes for Deco, it’s not practical. Scholes has atleast another 2 years left on him of quality football. Hargreaves looks likely to come to he greatest team in the world, Man Yoo.

  4. Ronaldo will not go. He knows which club can groom him to become one of the best players in the world. He has a big fatherly arm wrapped ard his shoulders in the name of Sir Alex Ferguson. Deco coming to United is rubbish, he would want a 30 yr old to replace a 32 yr old, and for 15m is ridiculous. I would love to see Bale, Nani, Hargreaves or De Rossi and Huntelaar/ Gudjohnsen coming to United. Way to go Man Yoo!

  5. Who said anything about sacrificing, Martin. I’m sure they can be rotated….

  6. i think c-ron should join real madrid if he wants to be a leagend there are so many super star but leadend are very few just like zindine when he joins real he becomes so ronldo should consider on it.
