Yes i understand that it was reported but this is just speculation from the spainish media
which the uk media pick up to report. It is nothing new to read such report coming from spain especially
during an election for president of the club. It has become a trend in spain where the candidates promise
this player that managerÂ…etcÂ… This same candidate Villar Mir has also said he have a deal with
Arsene Wenger to take over as manager if he wins but Ansene has since came out to deny it
and have also pledge his future to arsenal. So what more can we expect from this Mr Villar Mir?
And on the Ronaldo issue, you can read this at the Manchester utd web page.

United are “astonished” at comments from Juan Miguel Villar Mir,
a Real Madrid presidential candidate, claiming he is in talks with the
club over a deal to take Cristiano Ronaldo to the Bernabeu.
Spanish newspaper Marca carried quotes from the United winger claiming
a deal would be done to take the 21-year-old to the Santiago Bernabeu if Juan
Miguel Villar Mir is voted in. However, a known political tactic in the past
has been for presidential candidates to promise big-name signings.
On Tuesday Villar Mir claimed the reports were true, saying: "With Cristiano Ronaldo
it's all correct, as he himself has recognised.
We are acting by respecting the norms of FIFA. Manchester know that we
are talking to him."United immediately countered Villar MirÂ’s
remarks, unequivocally denying being in talks over a deal for the 21-year-old.
"Manchester United is astonished with Villar Mir comments," the club said
in a statement.
"There has been no contact between Manchester United, his election
team and or Real Madrid and any suggestion there has is incorrect.
"Unfortunately these tactics seem to be a common occurrence in elections
of this nature.
"Ronaldo has signed a long term contract until June 2010 and will be
a player with Manchester United next season."
As for Ruud, no need to say, everyone knows united are trying to find a club that will take him of their hands.
