Who would you like to see replace him? It seems like Valencia is being lined up, but I can't see him stepping into the massive boots CR7 could leave.

I'd hate to see you sign Ribery

ribery doesn't fancy the weather apparently - you have to appreciate his honesty.

huge boots to fill, but as stated, it's rooneys chance to shine even more, and stop being manoevered around to accomodate others.

That can't be true, Liverpool fans keep telling me that Gerrard is one of the worlds best up front?

He is. When he's behind FT9 of course

I admit, Gerrard is fairly average for England when compared to his Liverpool form, but I'd rather judge him over 50 games for Liverpool, than 10 games for England.

Good business from United, obviously he will be a loss but I think others will take on a more prominent role i.e Rooney, I expect Valencia to replace him and Benzema to come in.


Thank you Ronaldo for 6 great years. Viva Ronaldo.

My thoughts exactly. £80m? Thank you very much.

Wow. £80m quid. Perez really wants to get that Championship back!

Benzema is definetly going to Man Utd this summer then and they still have £50m probably to spend.

This could push them further away from Liverpool and Chelsea for next season.

I just wonder what route he'll go down, when Beckham left he decided to sign a young teenager, and molded him into the player he is now, it took time but it was worth it in the end. Will ge go through this process again, maybe signing somebody like Douglas Costa who you were linked with in the past? Or will he go out and sign somebody like Valencia, or Ribery, and settle for that?

Sad to see probably the most skillful player to grace these shores since George Best but for £80 million up front you can't really say no. Will be interesting to see who comes in

Great move from United! This summer was the only time they would get that sort of money from Madrid.

Heard De Rossi is the player that United want , but would expect Benzema or Villa or maybe Tevez to come in now along with Valencia.

Ronaldo , great player but i certainly won't miss his attitude

When did Man Utd win the CL in 2006?

Goodbye Ronaldo and take your diving to Spain with you.
